Mommy whines

[Deleted]

Most kids whine when they are tired or hungry. Me too.
Add your silly vents to make me feel less whiny (Whiney?)

My H works long hours (leaves the house at 730, gets home at 8-10pm) by the time he goes to bed - it's midnight then back up again at 645. So he is tired. By the weekend, I feel sorry for him and I do the wake ups. Also I am a better morning person and I go to bed early. But I'm tired too. Usually once a month, I get to sleep in a bit (he offers more I just tell him not to worry)

Second part of my whine. My kid is staying Sunday to Tuesday at my parents. Yay. A sleep-in. (Some days I work at 11). But nope. My coworker is on vacation, so I have the 7am shift.
Dreaming of relaxing naps when I get home from work.

See lame whine. Add yours.

I am at a hotel for a conference after having 7 kids at my house all week (my boys plus some nieces and nephews). I wanted to starfish and sleep like crazy. I woke up at 2 am and couldn't go back to sleep. BOOOOO!

I hate that I have to take out the trash now.

I can't get used to waking up at 5:25. I am more tired now for some reason than I was on maternity leave when the baby woke up every three hours. I go to bed at 10:45 like I used to (asleep by 11:15), but I used to wake up at 6:45. DS doesn't go to sleep until 9, so I'm not quite sure HOW to go to bed earlier since I need time to shower, clean up a bit, pack for the next day, and have at least a tiny bit of time for myself.

i just hate feeling so run down. It feels like my brain is on a 10-second delay with the rest of the world most days.

I feel you -- this was me for many, many years.  Can your H do bedtime? Can he do the packing, etc. for the next day?  It's so hard to get up that early after getting to bed late.

I'll just whine about being tired too. So tired.

I haven't been able to get myself to bed as early as I used. No real reason. I need to make that a priority. This weekend I need to make myself nap during at least one of DS's naps.

Why does my baby sleep better than my 4 yr old. Why the F is he up at 5:50 am??

The only benefit to this was placing my Nordstrom anniversary order.

I almost went crazy last night. All 4 of us are sick, it's god awful. DS woke up at 4am when his ibuprofen wore off. So he was restless in bed while the new dose kicked in. I laid there in bed, listening to DS's bed go "SQUEAK SQUEAK" and DH go "SNORE SNORE" and poor stuffy DD go "WHEE WHEE" as she breathed through her nose. And I was like

DD just started an all-mommy-all-the-time cling fest. DH can't do anything. Which, ok whatever. It's draining, but I can deal. Until it's time to cook dinner and he can't distract her with anything. She'll stand and the front door screaming and pounding on it crying "Mama! Mama!" Ugh. I think I'm going to put him in charge of dinner for the rest of the week........
