I'm struggling...

I love my kids, but motherhood is kicking my butt.

G has been in toddler teething hell for 2 months, and I'm getting less sleep than when she was a newborn. All she wants is to be held and nursed all night long. I'm the only one here at night until like 2/3 am, so I'm exhausted. By the time I get her back to sleep and in her crib, I'm lucky if I get 30 minutes of sleep before she wakes up again.

J is full on entering tweendom and all the female hormones that come with it. She's a pretty good kid most of the time, but then she'll start crying over the smallest thing or start with an attitude. I remember what it was like, and I just feel bad for her. But it's still as annoying as hell.

MH is finally coming around to the idea of adding another kiddo, but now I'm not so sure. I can't tell him that though because any wavering from me and I feel like that door will close.

Anyway, I just thought I'd post this over here since we seem to be flooded with newbies.

(((Hugs))) I hate that overwhelmed feeling. C has been waking up more at night and I'm the only one on baby duty since I SAH. And I know the feeling of wanting another baby but feeling overwhelmed by your current situation. I don't want to complain either bc I don't want DH to get scared off.

I have no real advice other than a whole lot of empathy!

And I feel you on the newbs. Board traffic is great but I'm tired of the same posts over and over again.

I'm sorry, sleep deprivation sucks.
