Being a mom is hard sometimes

you're a good woman

Hope your cousin is ok. Well I did get more sleep than you. About 4 and a half hours. My family is leaving on a trip today and getting up at 5am. I woke at 3 something, went to the bathroom and of course couldn't go back to sleep. They left the house at 6, but I knew I couldn't go back to sleep, so I'll just have a long day. At least I don't have little kids to care for. Just me for the next week.

In my religion, we have a saying "Heaven is beneath a mother's feet" which basically explains how important a mother's role is in building a nation. I truly believe that women have the gift of being mothers, not just to their own children but in turn to the entire world. We really do not appreciate everything our mothers went through to hold us in their bellies, to give birth to us and then to raise us to be the people that we are now a days.We have to experience motherhood ourselves to truly appreciate what our mothers were put through! I know I am going to need all the help I can get when I become a mother so props to you, and every mother out there working hard to take care of a family! Esp. with triplets, that seems like so much work having three little ones all the same age and in need of the same care and attention! Do you have relatives nearby that could help out by baby sitting or something like that?! Or have you considered hiring a baby sitter so you could have some time for yourself to relax a bit? I wish you the best of luck, because you have the best job in the world and all the energy and time you put into raising those little munchkins will pay off one day ;)

Keep strong Momma! We have all had those days with no sleep and of coarse the kids always seem to be that much more energetic on those days...lol.. keep your head up and if you can get everyone to take a nap!

I know exactly what you mean!! I have a 9 month old and im 14 weeks pregnant as well and its hard to keep up with my daughter and be sick at the same time. On top of that, my older sister has 3 children, ages 4, 2 and also 9 months, and sometimes she'll drop them off with me while she runs out for the weekend. I feel like im going crazyy then! Her older children fight and break things, and her youngest and my youngest are 2 days apart, and hate each other, so they kick each other and scream. And i try to sleep when my daughter does but she goes to see her father on the weekends and he always messes up her sleep schedule, so when she gets home im getting up 5, 6 times a night. Dont you wish there was a place moms could get away for a day and just relax? but we've got 18 years before thatll happen. haha.

Wow, triplets! I have a very energetic 2 year old and am about 20 weeks pregnant. My 2 year old decided Wednesday night that he wasn't going to sleep. I'm pretty sure it was a stomach ache he was suffering from. Anyhow, yesterday dragged on forever. I hope that when your husband gets home that you will get a break!

Thats great of you .Moms are a real gift and they do have strength in themselves. I had my cousins at home last week as there parents were out somewhere I had to face many problems they are 2 and 4 years old , I get scared for the very idea if they were my kids lol.

I think it's really not easy to be a mom, especially a full-time mom. You need to take care of your husband, take care of the kids, take care of the household, and also sometimes you still need to take care of your own family or relatives. I always respect those full time mothers, where they really dedicated themselves to the families. But, as a mother, you'll just be there always whenever your kids need you, isn't it? That's mom.

yup i know what you mean! i remember after i had a miscarriage, i was chasing around a very busy two year old and it was all i could do was to lay on the couch and play with a balloon with her. i couldnt wait til her afternoon naps. (it really took me about 6 months to get back to normal and right after that, i got pregnant again!)

Hope you get some rest soon. It can be really tough, I know. I remember when my kids were small, there were times that I barely got any rest and that makes chasing them, keeping patient ....just everything so much tougher. Maybe you can get a nap in when the hubby gets home. Hope your cousin is feeling better!

Oh my goodness! You got triplets? Wow, im always wanted to have twins but it never happened maybe oneday hehee. I really agree with you! Being a mum is so hard sometimes. You can't have a time for yourself and can't have a good nigth sleep but our kids are precious and priceless they make us happy! When they get bigger, theygonna look after you too. Cheers

Hi! Yes being a mom is hard sometimes. It often can be thankless also. But when the children get older, and you can see how you have helped them to be the people that they are it is all worth it.

I agree with you. I understand you.I think being a mom is hard until they grow to teenage. I and my spouse had been took care my son, i known it was so tried, i must exchanged to see my son.My son was a baby,he didn't like to sleep allday,he woke up every 2 hours.You are great to treat your kids alone.

You are right, being mom is challenging. We had to stay awake no matter what, and no matter how sleepy, we are only allow to rest when the kids are resting. Sometimes, even they are asleep, we will still need to be awake and take care of the household chores, cooking, and so forth. But, we do enjoy motherhood!

Hats off to you. Its really tough on you. Every mom has their share, but I guess you have more than your share. I really admire and respect you for the way you are handling it all.

I can't agree with you more,even though I don't have baby now. To be a mom,you can have many joys, also hard time. On May 23 this year, I went back my hometown and stayed at home for a week.I met my 10-month-old niece for the first time. She is pretty,lovely. She doesn't ususlly cry, but others must play with her when she is awake. I often played with her without a siesta.
