I'm sorry. We have the same problem that comes in waves. It's like they forget what they are supposed to do and don't realize how it can screw up a night.
today I took the kids for a ride in the car just so I didn't have to entertain them. Then I went to the park, only because the 2 year old will entertain himself there and the newborn would sleep in the car seat.
I debated about bribing with McDonalds but DH came home from work early when I told him I had booked an appointment with my doctor to deal with my PPD. I think he finally got it how much Im struggling when I did that. He's taking a 4-day weekend now to help out while I hopefully get my shit together on meds.
If I wasn't getting meds, I would have been drinking with you
My DH works 12 hours days and our babysitters are our parents as well. If I get a moment to pee alone I find myself meditating on the toilet You have a really good plan with the gym daycare and I may have to join to local gym just to try that... you know so I can get in some reading time. The hell with the physical fitness, I need mental health time!
I feel your pain! DH works second shift Friday-Monday, and has class Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We basically only see each other Wednesdays. I have parent duty the other 6 days of the week after work (and before work, since he's sleeping.) I agree with wine! Lol.
