I so know what you are feeling because I feel it too. It’s hard with a colicky baby and even harder if you’ve had two of them. Just know you’re not alone, well make it through somehow.

I’ll drink a virtual beer with ya.

Aww sorry you have been feeling down, i remember days not long after Eilidh was born where i just wanted to spend all day crying. Two kids demanding your time is really hard work. I know time has passed since you wrote this so im really hoping things have got better for you now

My mother shared with me that after I was born, she was going through what you seem to be describing. She diagnosed herself with depression. She went to a therapist. After she unloaded, he said “you need to hire a housekeeper.” She did. Doctor’s orders.

She continued to see him because she was indeed depressed, but that first piece of advice made the biggest impact of all.

1. Pump like crazy.
2. Find a babysitter (or better yet find your husband).
3. Leave the person from #2 the milk you pumped in #1
4. Tell the person in #2 that you’re going to the spa and that you are not to be contacted unless it’s an absolute dire emergency.

I’m OBVIOUSLY there with you because I’m just now getting here to say TAKE ME WITH YOU. Three hours of sleep last night and toddler won’t nap. Holy hell. Seriously, let’s go get a drink together. And that PhD? Dude! My kids MOCK my education. MOCK, I say. Master’s Degree, my ass. (I want to go back for my PhD but right now it would have to be in bartending. You know, for the sanity…)

Sorry hon! I think everyone is right, so I won’t repeat. BTDT, so I do know how it feels. The drugs helped me, along with lots of chocolate and lots of breaks…and time. I hope it gets better soon!

Oh, honey. The academic bullshit is semantic. Husbands should know things without being told, and fuck the “Happiest Kid” crap. Seriously. We can’t all be happy all the fucking time, it’s just crazy, but it sucks.

I’m so sorry that things suck for you right now, and I wish there was something more I could offer to help than a comment on your blog, it seems so inadequate.

Being a mother is definitely the hardest job that anyone could have.

Can you go out with your playgroupies? If you can’t go on a vacation, you at least need a night out without the kidos.
