I'm not doing well today. I don't know what's wrong. I feel like everytime I turn around there's a trigger. I feel like I'm pushing my husband away with all of the complaining that I do. I'm so overwhelmed. I have no one else to turn to

You have every right to complain - vent away!!!

I don't know how you do it - you are my hero! I could barely manage with two kids! It's exhausting to be a mom, and throw in lots of kids and pets and a husband and you just have a whole lot of needy living things to take care of. It IS exhausting.

Could you ask your husband to help more with cleaning to take some of the load off of you? Maybe give you a night off by taking care of the kids and the dog for an evening?

You need a break girl or you are going to burn out. ((hugs to you))

Thanks. I associate someone telling me I'm not crazy. I feel so much pressure right now.

I just got out Friday when I went shopping. I dont understand why I'm feeling this way already.

I agree with Bookgurrl...this is a place to vent, where people understand what you are going through as a wife and a mother. I was overwhelmed by my two when they were young and your load is HUGE. I think it is important that you have regular, scheduled ME time. You can't just keep going at that pace, with all those duties and responsibilities without regular breaks from it all. Do you have 6 kids?
Feel free to vent here anytime. We will never tire of listening to you and will offer what support we can from cyberspace.
PS...have the same dog issue. It's totally filthy out there on the roads and sidewalks right now and I have to towel her off for a few minutes otherwise my carpets would be trashed.
Take good care. I hope you have some restful enjoyment tonight.

I have five kids. Older ones exhaust me emotionally and little ones exhaust me physically. I was getting to the point that I had regular me time, even If at home. Then we for the dog. Ugh. I had been feeling so stable I thought I could handle it. I now think I was wrong.

We are going to try a towel. Wish me luck haha
