When we were all about to leave this morning (S does drop off) mila grabbed my hand and held it against her and said "mama wanna go with you today?" God it was heartbreaking. I tried to explain that I did want to but had to go to work. She kept trying to convince me to get in Scott's car to come with them to the sitters house
ugh i hate this. Breaks my heart. Even last night I left for 30 minutes to go on a run and I almost didn't go because she started crying so much and saying she wanted to go to. "don't leave me!"
just know that she is there now and happy, not sad.
The sitter is great about sending pics and she does look so happy. But it's only Wednesday and there are still 2 to go. Plus I work an 8 hour shift on sat anyway thank god I told them I couldn't work the rest of the weekend.
I feel so bad that you're dealing with it too. Poor little sweethearts.
I don't even know who to see. I'm on AD's from my obgyn but I'm not even sure if they are helping this time. I send my husband crazy ranting texts and all he does is agree with me. Like I tell him I need serious professional help but I have no time and he responds yeah we are busy. Sorry this seems random I'm in my meltdown #3 of today. I can't handle the crying anymore!

Is there some way you can hire a babysitter or a mothers helper to help you out a couple of afternoons a week? A toddler plus twins is A LOT of work and you're doing a great job
I also have a lot of paranoia related to the garbage disposal and blenders/food processors. Random I know. But I just sometimes think about how horrific it would be if I got my hand in there.
at least the switch is under the sink so it would be hard logistically, but my BIL has his switch right next to the sink. This I cannot handle AT ALL and refuse to use it. It seems like a terrible design idea
Your post made me think of this clip from Frasier:

We can't afford a babysitter right now. I'm working part time so we had to cut back a lot. And unfortunately our families are not very helpful. They will take Abby only.

I'm sorry. I wish I was nearby and could help out.

Laurack I've experienced a lot of those thoughts. They were really intense when M was a baby and I still have them now but they're easier to quell. I do have anxiety issues and I know I need to decrease my caffeine intake (I drink a ton of coffee) and see a therapist for help. So you are most certainly not a nutter and definitely not alone in this.
But then, I am terrified of escalators. To the point of just not going to the next level in the mall.
what do you worry wil happen? pants get stuck then sucks your whole body in? hehe
@thadsrad fear of escalators is justified... a two year old just lost two fingers here at a local mall because he was horsing around on it. Esacalators eat humans!!! ;0)
I feel so much more normal after reading this thread! Hugs and wine and brownies all around!!
A has been screaming in his sleep for weeks. I have attributed it to his intense teething. I have been alternating Tylenol/Advil, lots of smoothies, Popsicles, soup, I massage him gums when he lets me. I don't know what else to do to help him he is exhausted and cranky but nothing else seems to be wrong. My H cannot hear him crying at night so I have always been the one to get up which is fine but I haven't slept in weeks and I am so so tired. I asked H if I could sleep in some this weekend since it will be long due to the holiday and he gave me sooooo much attitude. The dishwasher broke and we have water in the basement again. I want to cry.
laurack, I have these exact same worries. I've shared them with my husband and he laughs them off, calling them "disaster fantasies". I'm so glad to know others have these types of thoughts as well.

Jesus, lady. I'm never getting on an escalator again.

Jamie has never been on an escalator but he's terrified of them. My child is wise. We take elevators if taking the stairs isn't an option
I have to leave for work in an hour and I have not had time for lunch or a glass of water or to get ready. H gets home exactly when I need to leave. Our schedule is not sustainable and I have no clue what to do. It's making me a terrible mother. I'm always yelling and I'm so resentful.
I just learned from Curious George that you can make a metal detector with a radio and a calculator. Now I really want to try to make one. Too bad I don't have a radio.
Me too!! I was wondering if it was real or a cartoon thing. I feel like I should probably know the answer, but I don't! Ha!
