im having a hard time with everything
time management is killing me and im too tired by like 6 pm to do anything more.
im working everyday and totalling about 40 hours a week. i have school for 5 hours 3 days a week and i miss my baby. its like my mom has to pick her up almost every day from daycare for me then i go pick her up at like 7 and get to see her for like an hour. i miss spending time with sam and our relationship just SUCKS right now. i feel like we are constantly just arguing because we dont have time to talk. I mean we arent breaking up or anything its just difficult. I really need to study too. I want to go to the gym too and workout. I want to be able to actually see my friends before they forget about me.
i dont know. i feel like i suck at being a mom because im not making enough time for her
i dont know how to balance everything that needs to be done and she is the most important thing to me..
I hear you girl, it can be SO hard to balance all of the many areas of our busy lives. It gets so overwhelming when you just have to go go go and you have no time to relax or hang out with your kid/boyfriend.
Something that I like to do when my plate is way too full is schedule days off from work. I need to work, but I need to keep my sanity even more so when I know it will be a busy month, I'll request off a few days, maybe once every two weeks or so. It gives you something to look forward to. Or just find a day in the week, I choose Mondays, and don't work/go to school/have any set plans. I dont know if that's possible for you, but it's nice having a day when you dont HAVE to do anything, I will end up doing the things I dont have time for all week, but I dont have to.
If that doesnt help, could you cut down on work hours so you can study/hang out with the kid & bf more?
I agree. I have days where I have nothing but Xander. No work and no school. It really helps. Plus if your friends know your off on lets say tuesday and thursdays you can make plans or they will know to call you those days. Also maybe making one night a week a date night for you and sam might help. With or without Em.
good luck mama. if you need to talk call me. i love you.
I agree with the other posters.
Almost every day, I feel like I'm going insane with kids, job stuff, and school.
What SAVES me is just taking an occasional "Mental Health Day". It's painful to take time off, but it's so worth it for me. I get things that I didn't have time to do previously or just sleep in. I've found that those days are so worth it for me, and because of them, I'm able to lessen my depression and keep on functioning.
