I feel so burnt out right now. I absolutely love, love, LOVE being a mom but recently it's become super draining (more than usual). I feel like every day is a constant struggle with the recent onset of THE TANTRUM. Seriously, these aren't little fits anymore, they last long and involve yelling, crying, hitting, toy throwing, and rolling on the floor. Oh, not to mention I'm on my own for this because his dads in LA LA land and I don't mean Los Angeles.
I don't even want to blog because I can't hear myself think. I'm also pretty sure that's why I've been hardcore about losing weight and getting in shape. It's something I can do to burn off stress and feel more in control of life. You know instead of planning life around naptimes and mealtimes and levels of crankiness.
So here is to 14 months...which according to babycenter says a toddler will take joy in making others yell and cry.

Parenting alone can be stressful. I recommend getting a support team. We all need people to vent to and go to for advice. Also, I discovered Moo's tantrums were cry for more social interaction with kids her own age.
ReplyDeleteMeeting.com is a great place to find playgroups. Plus it will be a chance to meet other young moms who are single parents or pretty much handle all the parenting. Hang in there and remember to be firm.
