I dont understand rant
posted 26th Dec
Dont get me wrong, I watch my daughter, I dont depend on anyone to help me with her. She is mine and I got this but I dont understand when someone puts on her here how they dont have any help people jump on their case. One girl posted how she just wanted her mom to help her for an hour so she could have a small break and was venting on how her mom said no. She said she understands its her child her responsibility but she still was hoping for a little help and everyone jumped on her case over it. I just dont get it. It's normal to want a break. Its normal to want help. And its normal to complain when you dont get any help. Why jump on someones case for wanting help and needing a break?

Ya know I was thinking the same thing.

because it's no ones responsibility other than the parents to watch their child.
sure it sucks not getting a break, but i wouldn't bitch that someone, other than the father, wouldn't give me a break.

Your right and I get that but most people make it clear that they understand that too. I just think its perfectly understandable to complain when you need a break and cant get one.

I just texted my husband all the crap these moonsters have done today and said I'm going to my friends later b4 work, he started laughing and said ok, not to hang them from ceiling fans yet, he gets out at 3:00pm...
I love my kids but I need *me* time...

Ehhhh I wish I got a break, but not enough to complain. I've came to terms with never getting a break!

I get where she's coming from and no one should jump her smurf for wanting a break - EVERYONE wants a break, it's not like she's complaining about not being able to pawn her kid off to go partying or something.
I used to bitch if my mom didn't give me a break - but I did things like take my father to his many, many doctors appointments (WITH my son there), babysit HER kids, buy the majority of food for the house....I don't think it's too much to ask to get an hour break, especially if you live with your mom and you help out, too.

I have actually never seen this save for the posts from teen moms who live at home and get pissed when their parents won't babysit so they can go to the club.

I agree with you but I didn't see the other post. There's nothing wrong with wanting help. We will be paying a smurf ton of money to bring my MIL to the states so she can help me when the baby is born. We have to bring my husband's little sister too because she is blind and there's no one there to take care of her while my MIL is here. Totally worth it. I had no help when I had my daughter so I really want it this time, lol.

So someone who is stressed out and needs a break shouldn't be able to have a little vent? Ya - we get that it's our kid and our responsibility - doesn't mean you don't get stressed out and want to lock yourself in a closet for a few minutes.

Dude, I totally 100% agree with you. And, especially
for PPD moms, a little help here and there is soooo important. There's nothing wrong with it.

They are terrible... 1 smurf so I'm changing his diaper, while the 3yr old plugged up the toilet, my 6 year old is refusing to shower or change because he doosnt feel like it... he's the only 1 I haven't threatened to put in an animal costume today and leave at a no kill shelter
I love my children to death but I need maybe 15 mins a day where I can sit in bathroom alone and do nothing lol once a week I go to my friends house for few hours just to get out, before I head to work at night....

it is HARD being a mom. My SO works 60+ hours a week and I have no family around or friends. I luckily have a very understanding fiance. He has told me numerous times "i dont know how you do it" and we only have one!! I feel like some of these moms are just bitter because they do it on their own and dont see the problem. we all deserve a little help.
