[klisme]

i just a to vent. i am a stay at home mom with a 2yr old and a 6 yr old. after school i watch not only my two but two of the neibers. it seems if i clean in the morrning the kids mess it up in ten min. of being home. if i wait and clean in the afternoon it just doesnt get done.Plus go to the bank and get supper ready and wash clothes and .....ect.there are time i look at the clock and say "oh its 3pm and i havent eaten yet" i feel i get no help AND no respect. i need to be supermom and have 72 hours in a day to order to get done what needs to get done. now i am getting over pneumona(and i have SAD) i dont have the energy to get EVERYTHING done. i am going crazy. And to foucs me is not happening. i am in overdrive most of the time to point its killing my sex life. Please has ANYONE ELES felt this way? :confused: :bigcry:

I use to all the time....Now i say to myself, I am not superwoman and I can't do it all. I ask for help from my family, friends and husband. And I make the kids responsible for their things. I figure if I died tomorrow, no one is going to come in and say omg did you see her house and did you see her wear this or see this and that etc......

I have most diffently felt this way!!! I love the comment "oh, I would love to stay home all day" from my friends who work outside of the house. I feel like screaming at them "I would love to work just 8 hours a day". There has been so many days that I am still laundry at 11 at night and still have a list to do for the next day. Yes, this job is the hardest. We get to be a chef, driver, nurse, maid, teacher, a volunteer at school, etc. and we get no paycheck at the end of the week (besides lots of hugs and kisses). With a list of duties like this, it is no wonder that there is no time for sex.
I have no advice for you, but just wanted to let you know that I hear you loud and clear!

My daughter is 2 and I'm a stay at home mom. We pick up toys twice a day. I keep a bucket on the dryer and we take it down and we sing the "clean up" song we have made up. We put all the toys in the bucket and then the ones that can be washed I soak in hot soapy water and the ones that can't I spray with lysol spray. Then she helps me put them away. That way we always keep the toys picked up. She has a toy computer, so when it's time to pay bills or do something online, I put her computer and desk next to mine and "we" pay the bills and balance the checkbook. My house is not in perfect order, but we manage. And I have a neighbor who spends a lot of time up here with her daughter. I can't imagine having 4 children in my house, that would really be tough. But just take a deep breath and don't sweat the small stuff.
