"DYK I prepare, shop, cook, serve and still get left with clean up.

DYK Is it like that for all SAHMs. I mean am I just bitching about stuff that I shouldn't be?!?!?!"

DYK HELL NO!!!

DYK Stay at home Mom does not mean slave?

DYK I find I don't mind doing those things as much when they are appreciated?

DYK I don't think you are feeling at all appreciated right now?

DYK that's a big issue? Everyone deserves to feel like what they do matters.

DYK Jammie, I just burst out laughing.


DYK you are right - my "breaks" have been sepent organizing my room, reading the books I have to review, changing addresses - so the kids aren't all over me but it's still mentally taxing I guess.


DYK what really angers me is this is starting to get in the way of my dream of a big family.


DYK b/c what business do I have wanting 1-2 more kids if I can't get things under control now with 2?

DYK you are totally right!


DYK that's why I love my monthly Bunco night, and occassional mom's night out--it's the only time I'm not "accomplishing" something for someone else?


DYK my poor neighbor with 4 kids rarely gets time to herself...her DH worked all weekend (he has a regular M-F job, but worked OT), and when he came home on Sunday at 4:00 she said she was going to go to the grocery store, and--get this--he told her to go down and run on the TM instead! WHA?!?! She just about lost it on him! Their youngest DS was sick Tues-Fri, and oldest DD was also sick on Fri, so she had been stuck in the house *all week*, and he was upset that she wanted to go to the store?!

DYK my efforts are often literally pooped on. ;-(


DYK I hear the sounds of a kitchen being cleaned by Sean.


DYK that's a start but he'll expect it to make everything ok.

DYK gee, Abigail is hungry again.


DYK Sean went outside to do who knows what - prob rake leaves which in no way helps the condition of the house overall.

DYK adding to a family is always a difficult decision to make?

DYK I wish I had some kind of answer to that for you?

DYK I think it will add stress, as it always does when you have a baby?

DYK however, Abi will be in school by that time?

DYK and she'll be older? Do you think she'll still be peeing and pooping on the floor when she's in 5th grade? Probably not.

DYK does Sean want more kids?

DYK I'd also think things are worse for you right now because you have the added stress of moving on top of all of the normal things?

DYK was it this hard before planning and executing a move?

DYK I'm sure this has thrown Abi off too?

DYK that's a lot of changes for her? Even if they are good changes that she's excited for they are still bound to mess with her.

DYK maybe it's time to have a Come to Jesus talk about expectations?

DYK do the kids know their expectations in the new house too?

DYK I don't know when she'll stop pooping on the floor. :-(


DYK Sean does - he loves babies.


DYK I hope this is just extra stress from moving and all that we had to do to get moved over here.


DYK BTW Sean didn't clean the kitchen - he took out one bag of trash. and I had to put a new liner in to throw the rest of the trash away. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
