I just need to vent...

No need to respond, I just need to vent and have no one to vent to.

-yes sleeping when the baby sleeps is a wonderful idea. But when you’re the only person to clean/do errands/do chores/cook, it’s very hard to sleep when the baby sleeps. Because when the baby sleeps is when those things are getting done.

-the days I really need help, SO either goes out drinking after work, or goes hang out with friends on the weekend when I need help or need a break or even just catch up on chores and have someone else watch the baby.

-(sidenote): yes I understand that there are single parents out there and I applaud you for that. But when I have a SO I expect to be able to rely on them for things so I don’t have to do everything myself. If I wanted to do everything myself, I wouldn’t be in a relationship.

-baby has literally not taken any naps the past 2 days and is now sleeping today away (she still sleeps good at night), but I’m so exhausted and I’d love to nap too but I just can’t because I’m in pain and uncomfortable and my brain is going 1000 miles a minute.

-I love my SO’s family, but I want one damn weekend to myself. We’ve been going over there the past few weekends. We’re now going over tomorrow for Father’s Day (without asking me, it was just something decided without me), and we’ll be there next weekend for a little bbq so extended family can meet the baby since she’ll have her shots, plus 4th of July. I’m a person who needs to have some weekends at home with my own tiny family and not go out and be social.

-I don’t need other people giving me parenting advice without being asked, especially since their baby advice is from 25 years ago, things are very different now.

-I will never ever ever let my baby cio. It is something I do not believe in at all and I’ve seen the results of both ways of thinking and I much prefer attending to the child and being there for rhem. Because guess what? Every child I have babysat/nannied in the past 10 years, the ones who were attended to and loved and their parents didn’t let them cry it out, they are very independent secure children now. The ones who dealt with cio, have some attachment issues and go on to having issues elsewhere. (AND MY BABY IS ONLY GOING TO BE A BABY ONCE AND WHEN SHE CRIES ITS BECAUSE SHE NEEDS SOMETHING AND IM NOT GOING TO IGNORE THAT)

-and lastly, I’m very close to ending things with my SO. Things just keep getting worse. He won’t help. He badmouths me to his parents while there saying I’m a bitch and his mother then texts me being very rude and snarky. I’m not spending Father’s Day with them because I don’t want to be around that. He also won’t stop calling me names and threatening to go be with other girls. I cannot take it anymore and I’m going to be figuring out how I can end it because I don’t want my daughter growing up in this and I need to do what’s best for her. (No I can’t just get up and walk out because I’m currently not working).

-ok that’s all. Again, please don’t respond or leave rude comments. I just needed to vent/rant and that’s what this page is for.
