Sometimes when my toddler has a meltdown, I take the opportunity to have one too.
When I travel with my husband and stepkids, I pretend I don’t know them because I am so disgusted by the kids’ behavior and my husband’s complete lack of control and parenting skills.
Its the weekend which means no childcare…All I want to do is sit on my computer, mb get up and clean a bit and thats all. Like the good old days. Playing with my 2 year old and listening to Dora all day is not what I want right now…
when my baby was weeks old I would lay in bed awake wondering, ” if someone took him from us… I don’t think I’d be upset.”
I’ve wondered if having a child was a mistake
My stepkids fight so much I don’t even look up when I hear a smash and then crying.
I tell my baby stepson I’m sorry he has to go back to his yucky mommy.
I copied a gross photo of my husband’s ex and wrote her number on it and asked if people like freaks and I’m going to put it in men’s bathrooms all over the country
I withhold sex from my husband when he does something to make me mad. The more mad I am, the more days I don’t have sex with him.
I gave up everything for my new husband. What a huge mistake.
There are times that my vocal cords actually feel strained b/c I have screamed so loud at one or all 4 of my kids!
i dont know where to start …i feel like a sorry mess as a mom and as a woman and i resent my husband for not helping me with our children…i didn’t know being a stay at home mom meant you do everything for the kids and household…i dont think my husband respects me at all and that really bothers me
Sometimes I wish I would have had the marriage before the baby carriage. I would have gotten to know my husband.
I almost kicked my five year old out of the house this morning. Seriously there are so many holes in the wall I am afraid it might collapse!!
I lie to my exhusband about making a really healthy breakfast for our son when I really just put a bowl of lucky charms in front of him and let him eat it in front of the tv.
Sometimes I feel like my kids hate me and love my husband because he always lets them do things that I don’t allow when I am gone.
One thing that makes me feels really bad about myself is that I have a 16 year old stepson that I absolutely can’t stand to be around. I don’t know exactly why it is, but I can’t seem to get over it.
It’s mid-afternoon and I just realized that I have no idea what my one-year-old is wearing today. Not because I’m so scatterbrained that I can’t remember (though that could be true any other time)…because I had nothing to do with getting him ready for the day!
Now I’m sitting at work, dreading the end of the day when we have to drive home with him crying in the car seat. I’ll likely fake an upset stomach so I can go lie in bed and watch TV by myself. Then I’ll leave my poor husband to make dinner, feed, bathe and put the two kids to bed. Only after they’re down, will I creep downstairs to have my dinner in front of the TV.
I do this on a regular basis. It makes me feel like the worst mother and wife but I can’t seem to break out of this cycle!
I went 5 days without showering and I was going to work full-time that week. I hope nobody at work noticed…Witch hazel applied to the scalp works wonders when you can’t wash your hair….
Thank you, thank you, thank you -thank you for confessing your ‘dirty little secrets’ and making me realize that I am ‘normal’ for feeling like I do once in a while!
I don’t help my daughter with her homework when it has to do with telling time because I don’t want her to learn to read a clock. Why? Because then I can’t lie to her about bedtime!
Sometimes when I go to the store, by myself, I secretly don’t ever want to go back home… I’m beginning to miss my single life!
I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old. Before I had kids I wanted sex all the time. Since I’ve had my 3 year old my sex drive is pretty non-existant…I would much rather eat a candybar and watch t.v.! Its quite a miracle that I had another baby!
Ummm… I hit my baby’s head twice in the first few weeks of his life. Once, I was holding him and went to close the fridge door, and his head was in the way. Other time, I picked him up off the changing table and hit his head on the bottom of a shelf in the corner.
He’s 8 months old now, and seems really happy and healthy!
i dont shower daily
- want a day without kids
- has went days without shaving my legs or underarms
- lets kids watch too much tv in the morning so i can get a break
- hates the way i look in th mirror
- wants husband to worry about kids
- wants to go out alone or just leave the house with no worrys for once.
Dont get me wrong i love being a mom but somedays i wounder what i would be doing if I was single again…..
my sister in laws 3 year old daughter drives me nuts. she is not as cute as everyone thinks, she is a brat!
I am not a good mom when I am sleepy. Most evenings I can’t wait for my 15 month old to go to sleep. I want to play games with her and read to her, but I’m too tired from working all day. I don’t feel like it. Then when I get too tired, I get REALLY cranky and I just ignore her. Maybe I should stop at Sbux on the way home…
I pulled into a community event hoping to park in the handicapped lot becuase my friend was about to deliver her second child in 10 days. The cop told us we had to park with the general parking because “she was fat and probably needed the excersice”
I hurry into bed to fall esleep before my husband begins to suck the world through his nose.
To the woman with 4 kids and 8 grandkids,
First of all, you must have done a great job raising those four kids of yours if you’re now raising their children…and yes, most of us on this site wanted to have kids, but wanting something and the reality is quite different…we all want to be supermoms, reality: we fall short everyday…so if we make you so ill with our miserable comments…here’s a clue don’t visit the site and keep your judgements to yourself.
i love that i am so young that MY mom just wants to take the baby all the time.
I am a Mother ot two girls and have a husband who works a schedule that is never the same we have no help and he is to cheap to pay for sitters. I go out and use the credit card and buy myself a expensie shirt or shoes or both that Ican not afford couse me haveing to do all the cooking cleaning and takeing care of the kids makes me angry. we function out of a aptartment that needs renivation like stated above he will not spend to renivate
I need to have at least three cocktails before I like my family
i often have days, now that it is summer, that i realize my kids have not brushed their teeth all day!
My son wakes up every night at 11:30 to greet my husband after work, then he keeps him awake until 2am. So when my son wakes up at 8am, I’m so tired, that I just let him cry himself to sleep again. When he wakes up again between 10am-12pm, then I get up with him. My husband doesn’t like it, but I tell him that it’s his fault for keeping him awake.
I sneak out when my baby is sleeping to smoke, and clean up before I go into to take care of him so he or my husband will never know.
My husband is a hypercondriac, so after almost a year and a half of being together, I get mad when he complains about something. I didn’t complain after giving birth, or having surgery 6 weeks after giving birth, or having more surgery one week later. And now that our son is 6 months, I don’t complain when I’ve been up all night while he was sleeping because the baby is sick. So why can’t he just shut up and show me some attention for once…
Sometimes I daydream about what I could be doing right now if I didn’t have a baby and husband to worry about.
try raising four kids of your own.. then 8 grandkids on top of that… you all whine and carry on, yet you made and supposidly wanted these kids. if you cant handle them DONT HAVE THEM. YOU ALL MAKE ME ILL WITH YOUR MISERABLE COMPLAINTS
I am in the middle of a fairly ammicable divorce. I am surprised (and a little guilty) at how much I adore having every other weekend and Tuesday nights to myself. Its like I am living breathing woman again – not somebody’s mom.
I resent the fact that my daughter looks EXACTLY like my husband. Sometimes I hate them both for that.
I hate my mother in law holding my daughter. I wish they weren’t related.
I absolutely hate my husband’s family and get mad at him if he even mentions them coming over.
Sometimes when my husband is home with me and my daughter I make an excuse to leave the house and just drive as far away as I can. I always end up coming back.
I have lost all respect for my new husband because he is such a weenie around his children.
My daughter is going to be 3 in two months and I am still nursing her…mostly because it is the only thing that will make her go to sleep and I don’t have the patience (or guts) to break that habit.
I can’t wait till my mother in law leaves this earth.
The only thing that keeps me alive is fantasizing that my husband’s ex-wife and kids will die in a freak but quick accident.
We moved to a new house the day before my daughter’s first birthday and it hadn’t even occured to me to plan something. I ended up taking a picture of her with 2 gifts that my older kids had to take to a birthday party the next day, pretending that they were for her. She’ll never know right?
I think breastfeeding is creepy and have 3 healthy wonderful kids who are 100% bottle by choice.
