tired with this mom thing
Quote from Jademelody on April 28, 2019, 10:46 amI am so tired. It’s 9pm and I just finished cleaning the kitchen again. My youngest is still up, I can hear him banging toys. The oldest needs help with homework, but I’m too drained. I skipped yoga this morning to go to Target, got the milk and bread, spent $75. I thought I’d have ten minutes to myself after dinner but then laundry piled up. It feels like this every single day. I just want to sit down for an hour and not think about anything. Is this normal?

Quote from Boldleaf1994 on April 28, 2019, 9:11 pm@Jademelody Oh honey, I feel this so hard. It's 9pm here too and I'm still doing laundry. My youngest is watching cartoons and the oldest is glued to her phone. Totally drained.

Quote from Sunny2004 on May 2, 2019, 5:47 pmI hear you on being too drained. Sometimes I just sit on the floor and stare at the wall for a bit before tackling the next thing. My dog is sleeping at my feet.

Quote from Kind19 on May 5, 2019, 8:40 amI feel you on the homework. Mine is only in 4th grade and already it's a struggle. I just handed her a snack and told her to take a break, I need one too.

Quote from bloomticket on May 6, 2019, 7:08 am@Jademelody That wall staring thing is SO real. Sometimes I just need to zone out for five minutes before I can even think about laundry. My cat usually joins me on the floor.
