anyone else too tired to work out after babysitting
Quote from Brenda2003 on November 27, 2019, 11:35 pmhey everyone just wanted to vent. i came home at 9pm after watching my cousin’s three kids. they are energetic as hell. finally got them to sleep at 1030 by which point i was literally falling asleep on the couch. my workout gear is still in the bag from yesterday. i tried to do ten minutes of youtube pilates but my eyes just shut. i feel guilty because i keep saying i need to get back in shape but there is no energy left after feeding them macaronis and changing four wet nappies. my back hurts from picking up the toddler who keeps climbing on me. is it really okay to skip a few days in a row because i am just drained?

Quote from Mauvepass on February 9, 2019, 5:32 pmI just stop trying to meet some fitness gods standard. If I got home and only had energy to stretch for ten minutes, that counts. I dont have the mental bandwidth to cook a post workout meal or shower twice. Some days I just drink water and hope for tomorrow. My body isnt a temple its just a vehicle and it needs rest after managing two kids all day.

Quote from donna1974 on August 13, 2020, 7:30 pmi literally just stopped asking him to do anything. if i need something done i do it myself or hire a babysitter for an hour. my sanity is worth more than his participation. dont wait around for him to step up he wont. lower your expectations to zero and stop explaining what you need. it just saves everyone the drama.

Quote from lauren1975 on January 21, 2020, 5:23 amsame thing happens to me every time i pick up my toddler. my lower back just locks up. i usually just lie down on the floor with a hot water bottle on it for like 15 mins. also try not to bend from the waist, squat down instead. it helps a bit but honestly just need rest. sending love mama.

Quote from Rainbowchild1984 on January 9, 2020, 1:48 amhonestly just grab coffee. keeps it low pressure and cheap. i text that i’m heading to starbucks and if they wanna join cool. if not whatever. no big fancy dinners where you’re stuck for hours if it’s a vibe mismatch. keeps it simple. don’t overthink it bro.

Quote from Copperanalogy on September 19, 2020, 12:41 amhmm i mean my bf is the same. we just sit in diff rooms scrolling phones but he sends me memes or texts u up. feels like enough for him. i get anxious tho bc i want more verbal stuff. dont think ur crazy though. maybe he just feels connected without talking. u could ask him directly if that works for him. im still figuring it out myself lol.
