The past week has been hectic..
Hubby has some or other bee in his bonnet and is extremely short tempered and sometimes plain mean.
I am "only" 29 weeks, 2 days and SO SORE..
Everything aches and I desperately need a break.
This is my situation:
I have a beautiful baby girl (turning 2 in June) who is extremely busy and attached to mommy. Every time I have to pick her up I want to cry from back and ligament pain but I can't NOT pick up my girl..
Weekends are more taxing than working weekdays as I simply cannot run around with / after her anymore and I feel SOooooo guilty for this.
The husband is unbelievably self-absorbed and going out for 3 hours (or more) at a time.. leaving me to deal with all the daily stuff and occupy our toddler..
I just need some time for myself aswell.
Add to this..
He has a 16 year old daughter who used to stay with us (since she was little) and have recently moved in with her mom.. She is NOT the model child and I am having some serious issues dealing with ALL OF THIS at once.
Hubby is fetching her for the weekend (against her will) but is making plans to be out at least the whole of Saturday.. (how does this make sense??!)
According to her I'm the evil Stepmom.. (which I truly truly am not) and now I have to deal with this as well.
I'm getting so anxious for the new addition to the family but I feel unappreciated, scared and alone.
I just want to cry
Curl up in a corner and sleep for the last 10 weeks... (at least)..
I truly do not know how to do all of this on top of working full-time.
Then.. in South Africa, we have mother's day on Sunday....
Yeah right..
My husband doesn't realize that his wife is supposed to be part of it .. And I know it's probably silly and all commercial BS.. but I would so love just some sort of gesture..
(and NO.. my husband is NOT the type to plan surprise events.. that lesson I've learnt the hard way)
No..
It's just me. my huge belly, my inept abilities and a toddler..
And I cannot cry.. My girl cannot see her mommy this way.

 | Comment from Sianny » Posted May. 9, 2014 10:23am I hunny I feel for you, men understand nothing of emotions unfortunately so he may not understand how you are feeling. I hope that everything takes a turn for the better for you and if you want to cry then perhaps try what I do, I have a few seconds sobbing in the bathroom while my two year old is engrossed in a new activity. Children are very good at picking up on every hidden feeling though so maybe this explains why she's feeling insecure just like you. I wish I could help you but all I can do is give you a virtual hug. *hug* Feel better soon x |
