@sam77 I’m posting on this old thread because your newer one is locked since you deleted it. You are being abused. We’ve all beat around the bush saying it and I’m saying it clearly. The way you speak is that of a kicked puppy. This has been posted on your threads before. I hope you’ll read...

@nessofonett05 I’m a high sleep needs person. I’m also a parent so that doesn’t fly. I got up at 6 AM for 8 years. If you need more sleep then you have to go to bed earlier. Baby number 2 and this won’t fly OP. Especially if you nurse. I literally could not nurse, feed a toddler and feed...

@15gb2 Consider yourself lucky. If I didn’t get my kid to sleep at exactly the right time, he just wouldn’t sleep. Have you seen a four month old that has been awake for 12 hours? It’s not pretty. And he never wanted to sleep. You had to make the situation exactly right or he’d just stay awake.

@jlovespb You tell him there are 168 hours in a week. You’re currently working 160 of them. How many does he work? Is that at all fair?

@cliffco SAHM doesn’t mean house slave. How much free time are you getting? Any? He’s an adult. He should be on top of how many work uniforms he has.

@wynda 👏👏👏👏👏👏Bravo!

@findsapientia One year my husband was out of town for work. I think my kids were like 15 months and almost 4. I decided I wasn’t cooking and rolled into Olive Garden around 12:00. (My husband hates Olive Garden so I go there when he’s not around.) It was packed. But the staff saw I was there...

@ahead Take the littles out while big kid is at school.

@dixiegospel He can always get a new job and you can move again if you hate it. Nothing is permanent. Give it at least 1 full year to settle in, maybe two.

@sam77 Yeah, I’m going with your husband is isolating you on purpose. You need to look deeper at that.

@blackswordsman I agree. It’s way easier to be out than at home. Most places don’t open until 9:30 or 10. We’ve been up since six, so it’s like mid day. 😆 Go out from 9:30-11:30. Do lunch and naps. Now you’re at 3 something. Home stretch til dad gets home! Library, local museum, friends...

@iamthankful This is similar to us. I do think the working out piece is very difficult for us. If you’re in survival mode, working out feels like a luxury. It’s very hard to provide your partner that time if you’re already struggling. I know a lot of people suggest joining a gym with...

@sam77 I’m all for supporting your partner, but you’re enabling his nutty anxieties. A 1 year old might have body image issues? Come on. Also, how bad was the bottle issue? Again, I’m a stand by your partner person, but it sounds like your partner is using this to isolate you. He doesn’t get...

@rachellee Me too. A few days before I shop for plants. I don’t make any meals or do any discipline. Kids are free to hang out, but I will not cater to them whatsoever. We usually do a picnic lunch at a nearby pretty spot you can bike to. Last year my kids wanted to make me breakfast in bed and...

@ava1453 Yeah that sounds overwhelming. I keep laundry kind of separate. The kids have one basket between their rooms and the adults have ours in our room. I do each basket about once a week. I don’t mix kids and adults. I take the clean stuff directly to where it goes and dump it out. I...

@sam77 Why do you keep saying “complex?” That sounds…. Not good.

@tburns_hm Amen!

@antoni Yes. And to add- schedule in your off times so everyone knows when they’re on full time kid duty again. Something like, Monday, I take a dance class and husband does bedtime solo. Wednesday, he does a bike ride group. On the weekend, try to both take 2+ hours each somehow.

@katrina2017 I like that “not mom.” I’m totally cool still cooking or whatever, but get this kid off me!

@drawingangel2 Are you safe at home?
