I think I want another baby, only to distract me from the the two kids I already have! Probably not the best reason to have a third child.
I tell my kids to go away more often than I tell them I love them.
I cry in the shower so no one else can hear or see me
I miss the person I used to be. And I miss actually liking my husband. Sometimes I fantasize about being a kick ass single mom, and I am somehow so much more happier in this dream life.
I look forward to when my husband goes on deployments and work ups because I have one less person to take care of. It’s like he is my 3rd child and I am starting to resent him for it.
I wear puffy socks, spray them with Pledge and skate around my hardwood floors to clean them….
I wish my husband would understand the hardwork that I do day after day. I go to “work” 2 days a week for a break.
If it wasn’t for our kids, I would be long gone, become a lesbian and live happily ever after.
I stare at my nice work clothes and dream of affordable daycare.
sometimes i hide in my walk in closet just for a few minutes of quiet and noone can find me
I feel guilty all the time.
I want to leave and take a break from my husband, but I have nowhere else to go. How pathetic is that?
I used to be nice too.
I used to like sex.
I can’t leave my husband alone with our baby. Oh he loves her dearly, its not that. Its the fact that everytime I leave her alone with him she screams bloody murder until I come back. Either he pays no attention to her (doesn’t talk to her, play with her) or he isn’t paying ATTENTION. Case in point, last night he was giving her a bath and instead of splashing around and playing with her, he was on his phone playing games, not paying attention. Then, as he was drying her off he decides its a good idea to put the space heater right next to her to help dry her off (???). Next thing I hear is screaming because she has burnt her fingers touching the too close heater, because he was NOT PAYING ATTENTION! I’m seriously considering that he may have ADD. Meanwhile, I cannot leave our baby alone with her father.

If I had known what kind of father my husband would be, we would not have a child. We will not be having a second. Between doing 95% of the parenting by myself, and getting almost no sleep or time to myself, I physically and mentally cannot endure this again.
I clean my house with baby wipes. The floors, walls, kitchen, bathroom, everything. The only other cleaning item I use is a vacuum.
I used to be nice.
I’m always working, but I feel like a failure everyday.
My 4 year old is oblivious to potty training. I’ve been trying for 2 years straight and am so exhausted I may just give up. How can a child sit on the toilet and literally suck his #2 back in, but if he is standing right beside the toilet he will fill his pants…..and pretend nothing happened???? And if one more person (aka perfect mom with perfectly potty trained child) tells me “he’ll do it when he’s ready, one day it will just happen”, I will most likely throw his next contribution to anti-potty-training at that person’ head.
That I want to just sleep. Sleep for an entire day. To just do nothing. I feel like i haven’t slept in 20 months.
I keep a container full of M&Ms hidden for just me…that’s right-ALL FOR MYSELF! (It seems like that is the only thing I get to myself) Haha
To the lady on Sept 23/1:25pm
Having kids has been the greatest thing I have done in my life. Life is crazy and I can agree to almost every comment on this site but I would not give up motherhood for anything.
I came upon this site looking for books, on becoming a good mother when having a bad relationship with my mother. But reading all of these post, scare me even more!!!! I don’t know what to do, I am 30 years old scared to death to have kids and my husband is 34 and very ready . . so he says . . . I hope everything works out!
tired
i hate grizzling its worse than crying and it just keeps going on and on and on… and 2 and a half years later im still not use to poopie nappies!
My 6 month old fell asleep in the car on our way in town. I forgot she was there and went inside a bank. When I came out and found her still sleeping 20 minutes later I held her and cried for the next 30.
I sometimes hide in the bathroom with a magazine or my laptop just to get a few minutes alone.
My 4 year old son does NOT stop talking. EVER. He starts talking the moment his eyes open in the morning and does not stop until they close at night. I wonder if his mouth gets sore.
I come to this website when I consider having kids, then talk myself out of it after reading all these deliciously honest comments.
I always thought I wanted two kids, a girl and a boy. I have my girl who’s almost 4 and now I’m thinking that’s enough. I just don’t have the personality to be a mom to more than one. Many days I think I don’t have the personality to be mom at all. I am so non-confrontational and it goes against my core to do what’s necessary to raise a child. It’s so tiring and nearly debilitating. Thank goodness my husband and family is supportive and loving, or I’d be in a BAD PLACE…
I need some time by myself!
Hi, I’m from Greece. I love my 2 children but, very often, when they wake up in the morning I’m thinking “When will bedtime come?”
I really hate that my husband has he own life and just gos and can do what he wants and i have to always stay home with the kids or take them with me.
I kind of hate summer… http://www.16ballsintheair.com/2010/07/why-summer-vacation-is-like-cruise.html
I fill up every wipe box in the house to the top and tell my husband we are out of wipes and I need to go buy an other package just so i can take “quick” trip to the store by myself.
Run away like you are a teenager, moron; do the family a favor and Don’t Return!
What a bunch of wah wah bitches- and I don’t mean their children. God, why do idiots like these breed???
To the crybaby mother who “loves her 2 year old daughter to pieces” but won’t play with her when she gets home- Grow up you big spoiled moron. You need your ass kicked.
I hate my husband’ s ex so much that sometimes I really resent my stepdaughter just because she reminds me of her.
My husband hides mini candy bars around the house with “I Love You” sticky notes attached to them.
I put my ipod on in the morning to drowned out my screaming three year old daughter. If I didn’t we would never get out the door.
I think I wasnt meant to have kids…….now that I have 2 of them!
I lied when people asked me how long I breastfeed my son. I told them he stopped a month b/f he was a year old. The truth is he nursed until he was 2 and a few months.I know it gave him some pretty nasty cavities, which my husband and I are know paying for!
My love of my life turns out to be a fake, gay, mama’ boy elitist pig and terrible dad. My heart is in a million zillion pieces. I am so depressed.
I have never been so heartbroken. I fell in love with my soulmate and three years later we are finished because it was all fake and he is a selfish person and terrible father and doesn’t care a fig about me.
I have a fantasy husband and boyfriend. They give hugs all the time.
I HATE Playing!!!
Some times I need a time out…
Sometimes I’m glad my daughter goes to daycare so that she at least gets a balanced meal somewhere.
