Do you feel tired?

Hi May2008, i know it's very tiring doing household chores, taking care of the baby and cooking at the same time without helping by the husband, my sister and you has the same situation. Most of the time she is complaining to me via phone but I have nothing to do since I am faraway from her. I am married too we don't have yet a child but both my husband and I helping each other in doing household chores as per our agreement before our wedding day. i think you should talk to your husband regarding household chores or taking care of the baby so that it will give you time to rest for even for a few hours.

That would be the job of wife either and most sweetest to do it may not noticed by your husband but in the way you do and work at home and your job would be the most special way for me, just like my mother do for us, she doesn't complain or say but do and act those cooking cleaning for us and our father eventually I need to move and help her for all household shores. continue with it even if tiring sooner nothing could pay for what you've done to your family.

Thank God for given us women extra ingredients call love, compassion and strength to move on in our lives when we see our love ones happy. Yes, I have to cook, take care of my son, do housework, manage my part time business, work etc..it seems we need more than 24 hours in a day. My hubby once he reads newspaper or watch television, other things are oblivious(invisible). Even if the world collapse besides him also no reaction . Endurance and God will see your love and He will rewards you in His time. Rest and you will be energised again, hope for the best and keep smiling

Well it's understandable that you feel so tired having to do all of that and your hubby doesn't do much else but sleep and eat at home. It would be helpful if he would start to help you somewhat too. But I know how some men are. Beleive me, there's not getting him to help if he doesn't want to. It's not right, I agree. But I guess if you left some of it up to him then maybe he would do some of it too, such as things like some of the vacumning and such?

Well I must be the exception to the rule. I'm tired all the time myself as well. I am a stay at home dad and do most of the house work. I care for 3 kids, a 3,7 and 10 year old. We also have a lot of pets for the kids that I clean up after. It is a chore to keep up with things especially when you run out of energy. I usually drink tea or coffee all day and when that doesn't work. I have to resort to an energy drink to pick me up.

What you are reporting is a common in many women. Our roles are stretched so far and there just isn't enough of us to go around. I could give you all kinds of suggestions but frankly, at times, I do not think any of them are of much help. The best I can offer, is a gentle reminder that this stage of your life will pass, and you may even long for it back. Try to carve out some time for yourself and don't give it up. Take care, this too shall pass.

I can imagine it is difficult and tiring for you because you need to work besides taking care of the kids and doing housework... When I first had my son, I told my husband I couldn't imagine what if I had to work, I would go resign immediately and only stayed home. I think some women is very strong that they can handle work and family but I bet it is not easy at all... I hope you can mange your time and get some rest when you can..

You're like my Mom, and I'm proud of her, I must say that I'm proud of you as well May2008. Maybe you need to talk to your husband about how are you going to cater housework whenever his free at work. About the tiresome you feel all this time being a Mom is just natural because that's what a MOM is C: Mothers who are always On the Move You sometimes need to go to a spa or body massage together with husband after going to church on a Sunday :D Good Luck and Stay STRONG MOM!
