im like that, SO works 12 hrs 5-6 days a week i bf and LO is asleep when SO leaves and gets home, always alone and LO has been difficult, its got better now hes on meds but was soo stressful when he was a newborn.

I know exactly how you feel. Some days I scare myself with how fast I get mad. Usually it's at night when it's been only me doing everything, all alone in the house for days on end and all I want is a break. I feel like a smurf mom sometimes like I'm not being greatful enough but we all have our breaking points.

i know how you feel.
I broke down and cried for an hour because of it.
I've forced myself to close my eyes and count to 10. I hate being that way, and I've made it a point to change. i feel so bad for DD (18 months) because once i got back from the hospital when DS was born (now 22 days old) everything in her little life has changed. and i'm evil with no sleep. lol.

But i've forced a "happy" state of mind for myself, even though i can't hardley leave the house and we're all sick like hell.
I think if i didn't, i'd go nuts.

If it get's too bad, i'd see a theripist. idk about you, but that's what i'm going to do if my "happy" state of mind fails. if that makes sense. i try not to look at anything bad, just the good. and be thankful for what i do have.

lol i think i'm a nut case.

But it's normal to be overwhelmed and stressed when you're the SAHM.

You are definitely not the only one. Sometimes I can't believe how impatient I get and how fast I snap. Getting time to yourself is key. I'm a SAHM and student, so I take my daughter to a sitter about twice a week to get some of mommy time. My husband is handicapped and an amputee so it's hard for me to leave our 2 yo with him for too long. I like to just leave and go grab Starbucks, get a pedi, shop, whatever I can to get out for a few hours. It's healthy for you and it'll be a lot better for your child as well. Sometimes I get so upset so quickly, I can hardly recognize myself, so that's when I know I'm overwhelmed and I just need to leave the situation (I hide in the bathroom for a few extra minutes!)
