I Get Tired Too!

I think that is the reason I'm not a mom or a wife! I saw my mom do everything for me and my dad and when I was 7 I thought I could Never do for a child and by 13 I said I would never do that for a husband either. So I am just a me and when I need some me time I can take it! I hope you can get that mommy time.

it is normal for us to get tired and feel that way my friend.. i have those days too..what i do is really ask for a break, me and hubby would go out alone or i would go out alone with friends.

Our church used to have a mother's night out. You could bring your children to the church from 5pm to 9pm and there would be people there to watch the kids while the mothers had some time for themselves. Mothers have the hardest job in the world. No offense dads, but it's true.

I know it's tiring. You can ask for some help. When I was married, my husband had me waiting on him hand and foot. I was tired. Another mother took me aside and told me to tell my husband that his legs and arms aren't broken. They can work just like mine did, so he can get his own coffee or pick up his own dirty clothes and put them in the hamper. He complained a bit, but it was only fair when I worked as hard or harder than he did.

I dont have kids nor do I want them for this reason. I see people coming into work, adn I seriously wonder how they dont snap and kill their kids (no seriously). I wouldnt have the patients, when I am tired I am a biatch. When I am overworked, and exhausted the last thing I want is someone falling me around and irritating me more.

Hi, i know what you say and i understand very well how much is hard with babbyes. Mine are big now, but all my life i was tired, all time i was so no relaxing, and now when i am relax, i want to be tired again. Is funny, but i want back in time when my kids was just babbyes, all time we want what can t have. Right? My God was so hard, 2 small babbyes, my job too, a extra job, i was single mother and all time i work hardly to make my kids happy. And now they are happy...and i am relax...but.

"Calgon take me away!" ..right? I know exactly how you feel! Wasn't I just last week, kept saying to myself "there's not enough room in my life for me!" Why even the dog and cat order me around! I've been raising kids since I was about 12 years old! Was the oldest sibling of five.. then had my babies.. now I'm gramma, taking care of two every week day and then some as my grandkids and their mom live with us! But, I try to get up a bit early and beat the morning rush with a little quiet time with the Lord. But some days, I get up early only to find a little one has gotten up early too and wants breakfast, something to eat and what not. The thing is though, I know how fleeting these years are when children are small. But yes a mother (and wife, we mustn't forget!)has many demands and expectations upon her. And to me it's those times of solitude and quietness which recharges the batteries! Even more than having a day off and with friends or doing something with the husband. And when all of those are lacking then I'm like extra tired and get frustrated!

motherhood is truly challenging and could get the best of any mother at one point. it can even be more. i remembered i burst in anger when i was so tired of the house chores and visitors came and woke the baby up crying. i did not vent my anger to the visitors, no. the victim was my husband. i was not even like that. it happens. don't you worry and you deserve to have a ME time.

This is actually the reason why I stay up so late at night. I'd let the kids go to sleep first. And when the dishes have been put away, and other chores are done, and things for the next day have been prepared, I'd sit myself on the couch and vege-out for a couple of hours. Just mindless TV with my favorite snack(junkfood) in the dark living room for some ME time.

everyone needs to get tired so that their body gets rejuvenated and its quite common,take a nice break always

There is nothing wrong in admitting that you need a little 'you' time at the end of the day we all need a little relaxation time. I live alone with mygirlfriend but i tend to do a lot of the housework and cooking because my girlfriend works longer hours than i do and sometimes i feel i need a break. So i can totally see what you mean.

Of course we all get tired! And it's part of being a human. :)

I understand you pretty well, i am a married man, i have 2 kids both of them are boys, and they are so playfull, everytime i get home, i always take care of my kids so i can give my wife a break for about 1 or 2 hours or more, i take them out for a ride to the park so that my wife can have her break, and when we got home, dinner's ready and we eat, we sleep early too so we can have a good night's rest and have a lot of energy for another day.

It's okay to ask for a break sometimes. It's not really easy to be a mom and a wife. Even if you love your job, sometimes you really need a break. I think you can tell your husband about it. To have just a day break :)

I have no wife nor kids yet but I believe I have an idea how you feel. Even at this status there are times I, too would just want a time for myself, away from every and any responsibility at all.

This is one reason I always try to assist my wife and help her in almost all chores I can so that she has some spare time for being the "Me" in her. It is so very essential. And this also keeps the love alive. Personally, as we both stay at different cities (it has been since January this year), I guess we dont get things too complicated between us. But definitely, the space need exists and should be encouraged for a healthy and long lasting relationship.

Hi friend, my wife is also in your sort, she is doing all the house chores and child caring process by her self, it is really hard to do all the things by alone. Surely you are deserved for rest. There is nothing wrong in taking a break, just take a break in the upcoming weekend and go for some vacation with your family members to get refreshment

Hi As per natures law , day is made for work and night for sleep.Its nothing but rest or a break after 16 hours activities of our body.I guess you are looking for mental relaxation. Fine , you really deserve that,coz monotonous schedule always leads to boredom in life. Not only you but also everybody require that in life.

i felt like that too sometimes.. there are times were i just wanna go out by myself to unwind or go shopping to release my tension and stress from being a mother and a wife... there are also times were i miss the days where i can go anywhere with my friends.. partying and strolling... but those days are gone i have a baby now to take care and a husband.. so i just embrace the reality of it... but at the end of the day i realize that my life with my own family is now more worthy than partying in those old days...

You neeome time off and girls out. I dont feel this because I have no busband and kids and I live alone, so I am free and free of everything. Go have fun with girlfriends, mall, salon, spa everything you think you will enjoy doing. It is just a day off and all the breaks you need has been paid off.
