Tired And Restless Mom

[eylul]

Sometimes i feel like this is not going to finish at all. I will feel tired for the rest of my life. Does anybody has any idea, when i will feel less tired? My daughter is now 17 months. I am a working  mom. My husband is helpful if you compare with the most of the fathers. But it is still not enough.  I am lucky to have my mom. She is taking care of my baby when i am at work. And during the day doing some of the household stuff. And most of all she understands me because she was a working mom and raised 3 kids.

My husband, sometimes he seems he understands me but sometimes i see him so cruel. He wants everything to be same before we had a baby. But how is it possible? My life is no more same. He is tired of me saying "i am tired honey". I am tired of saying that too. But this is how it is. I do not rest.

If i had a chance the first thing i would do is sleep for at least 13-14 hours nonstop. Wake up, have a nice breakfast, read a book for 2 hours and than sleep again... I can spend few days like this. And a nice long chat with my buddy which i miss a lot. No one disturbing us. Coffee and chat, coffee and chat for hours... I think it is not too much to ask but than again it is impossible to have. Responsibilities...

I adore my kid. And so grateful to have her in my life. But i am TIRED. This doesn't change with my love to her.

Just want to say hello to all tired moms. And believe me i understand you. Sometimes we may need even a stranger to say "i understand you"  We may be that miserable...

Nov. 22, 2007 at 2:56 AM Thanks for your comment MCQUEENMOM. Begging for few minutes on your own. It sounds horrible but true. Few nights a go i cried because my baby woke up middle of the night and didn't sleep again. I was so sleepy and had to wake up 6:45 am to go to work. After 2 hours she slept so i go to work with 5 hours sleep which is never enough for me.

Nov. 23, 2007 at 5:53 PM I understand you. Yeah I do understand you!!!! While reading it, I thought it it was me saying these!!!! So it means we all share the same things! To be a mom is not going to be easy at all. Nowadays I am watching bigger kids to see if it is going to be easier later. But sorry to say that it seems it is not going to be so at all! When my son was a few days old, I had such terrible days, that once my mother in law told me that it would get easier when he would be 3 months old. He got 3 moths old but things had got worse. She again promised that it would be easier at the age of 6 months. And you can guess the rest. The last time that she started to say such things, I stopped her & said the final word:Don't cheat me! I know it will never get easier. `You know what she answered??? She confessed that I was right!!! I have had so many restless nights!!! It is awful. But don't forget that you have your mom by your side & I don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov. 24, 2007 at 2:24 AM Yes you are right. I have my mom with me she is taking care of her when i am at work. Even that shows motherhood is a lifelasting job. She was a working mom and raised 3 kids now she is retired but babysitting my girl 6 days a week! Why? Because she is a mother. She is 56 years old but still a mother, can not rest, takes care of her granddaughter. This shows... The day you are pregnant means restless years just started.

Nov. 24, 2007 at 8:24 AM I cant wait to never sleep again. Maybe I should really take advantage of every nap i can, and not feel guilty for taking a 3 hour nap and waking up/eating and taking another 3 hour nap.

Nov. 24, 2007 at 8:44 AM No, never feel guilty. Because you will never have  chance to nap. Sometimes not a chance to enjoy your meal. Ha haa....

Thanks for your concern. Yes i do have my mom. She is taking care of my daughter for 6 days a week when i am at work. That is enough. I can`t ask her for more. Very rarely i meet with my friends, go to the theatre or to the movies. It is like at most once in a month. Sometimes not even that. Actually i like to spend time with my daughter. Because i see her only on the evenings after 7pm and all day on sunday.

You have 4 kids??? I hope you are not  working mom. How would you manage all?
