mommy brain hitting hard after 3 kids is it normal
Quote from Dorothy1990 on January 11, 2019, 5:35 amman i am so tired. just had my third baby six months ago and my brain feels like mush. yesterday at Kmart i paid for diapers with the wrong card and stood there for five minutes like an idiot. i forgot to turn off the stove twice this week. my mom says it gets better but i just feel scattered. i am trying to be a good mom to my three littles but sometimes i forget why i walked into a room. is this normal? i feel like i used to be sharper before kids. my sister said i am just stressed but it feels permanent right now. i just want to remember my own phone number sometimes. does the fog ever really lift or am i stuck like this forever?

Quote from kathleen1999 on December 28, 2020, 3:11 amDear girl let me tell you something i been doing this same thing since my children started school. I just keep my extra sweater in the car and drink tons of tea. My husband always says i catch colds like crazy. Just rest up dear. Dont push yourself too hard. I learned that the hard way years ago. Sending you big hugs.

Quote from blueharp on April 23, 2020, 7:24 amI stopped sleeping next to someone who did that years ago. The noise kept me up all night and frankly the hygiene was gross. I am not interested in debating why he does it or trying to fix it with mouth tape. I need rest so I pack my pillow and take a nap elsewhere. If he cant snore quietly then he sleeps in the guest room. Simple as that.

Quote from Sarah1999 on August 5, 2020, 1:28 pmugh seriously my husband did the exact same thing last week after we moved to germany. Lol, i told him to take a hike because his mum lives three time zones away and i am not her. i cook what i want what happens and if he doesnt like it he can figure it out himself. honestly the constant moving makes me too tired to stress over replicating some random meal his brain is fixated on anyway. just keep doing you.

Quote from Michelle1966 on October 31, 2020, 5:09 pmhonestly it makes me so mad because i did all the planning last year and he just got a gift card. i don’t care about the date itself but the lack of effort stings. i usually just make a big mess in the kitchen to remind him. it’s stupid but i need that acknowledgment. also semicolons are fun

Quote from Sandra1999 on June 22, 2021, 3:52 pmLook I stopped trying to be spiritual all the time. Lol, It felt like work. Now I just drink water and walk outside. If I need to reset I sit quietly for five mins. No chanting no crystals. Just breathing. My peace comes from boundaries not rituals. Keep it simple. Rest when tired. Ignore the pressure to be enlightened. You dont owe anyone your energy.

Quote from Wild2005 on March 2, 2021, 10:34 amLord have mercy girl. Ngl, I been trying to quit caffeine since 1998 and its a losing battle. I just cut the amount. Start with half a cup of coffee instead of a big mug. Then switch to decaf. Takes forever but hey at least you sleep better. My husband says I dont need it but i disagree lol. Just take it slow yall.

Quote from Ruth1982 on April 13, 2021, 6:38 amSame here. I skip the meditation apps. Just take ibuprofen, put on compression socks, and lie flat for 20 mins. Hot shower helps too. Dont try to fix it instantly. Just rest properly. My lower back is killing me from coding all week so I know the pain. Keep pushin through but dont ignore the ache. Eat something salty too.

Quote from Nina2002 on January 16, 2021, 2:40 amit is 11 pm and the house is dead quiet. my husband fell asleep on the couch at 930 pm with the tv still on. i just did laundry for the fourth time this week because the kids spill juice everywhere. i went to target today for a $2 cereal box and spent $80 on stuff i do not need. now i am sitting here drinking rooibos tea but i cannot relax. the air feels heavy. why does my home feel so cold and empty when my whole family is literally in the other room? i tried lighting a candle from ulta but it did not help. i just feel so drained. is this normal or am i just crazy?
