Solo trip with toddler
First time visiting family in another state with my 16 month old. It’s been rough. Could be so much worse but I’ve been super sick and 18 weeks pregnant currently. I am freaking exhausted. We flew down and that wasn’t too bad but as soon as we got here we realized it wasn’t gonna be what we thought. No one had a working vehicle, bed wasn’t set up, the dogs took over the house, and it’s snowing this week of course. After a few days we’re able to get around and have a bed to sleep on. I went and got some more of her essentials and thought we’d be good. Except she won’t sleep! Takes hours to get her down just to sleep a few and be right back up. I haven’t slept since I got here. No one is offering to help and I’m not one to ask for someone to change her diaper. They’ve had kids and see me struggling. I guess I’m surprised they’re not trying to help more. I feel like they just wanted to ooh and awe at her at least once a day and be done with it. Really didn’t think they’d be those type of people. It’s my dad and his wife and they’re always kind but seem stuck up this time about having a kid around. I just tried to do right and get my daughter some time with her pawpaw. He’s disabled so I understand he can’t do much but there are others around.. I’m just so exhausted and off my meds so extra depressed and guilty for neglecting her. I wanted to be here and was excited but now I’m looking for flights home like I even have the money for it
