Need to vent

[hybridgirl07]

I'm a mom to a almost 14 month old very active little girl.  I love her to death but she frustrates me sometimes.  What frustrates me even more is when I'm just venting to family or friends they say "but that's what kids do."  Hello?!?!? I know that, it doesn't make it any less frustrating.  I get tired of cleaning the house  4 to 5 times a day because she likes pulling stuff down or wiping food in the couch or floor but that doesn't mean I don't love her or want to harm her. 

It's really difficult being the only one that's here to do everything.  From the minute she wakes up and goes to bed, it's just me.  I understand that my husband has to be overseas but you know the pressures get to me since everyone is in Boston and I'm here in North Carolina alone.  I suffer from anxiety problems and insomnia, my doctors have tried different medications but it seems like I have bad reactions to all of them and I can't afford to be anymore sluggish than I am right now.

Ok, I think I'm done venting for now :o) thanks for listening!

We do a quick clean in the late morning and the late afternoon and before bedtime. But I totally know what you mean, it feels never ending and its stressful. There are somedays that I don't even want to get out of bed because its the same routine everyday..I know what the kids are going to get into, I know what they're going to do. Sounds like you need to take a little vacay. I need one too..badly.

Hang in there!

Yea, being told that is what kids do doesnt make ya feel one bit better. Doesnt make the job easier, doesnt make a bit of difference. What family should see is that it is a cry for their help. They need to help you out some!
