Really stressed out today

Comment Published at 18:1618:166 comments6 comments19 Visits19 VisitsReport

I have had a horrible morning. I told my husband to put our washing into our bedroom, but he obviously thought opening the door was too much of a hassle so he left it all just outside. I had asked him to put it inside and shut the door because our kitten has a habit of peeing all over the clothes lying around. So what did I smell when I went down the hallway? Cat wee. Where was it? All throughout the clothes. So this means not only do I have to wash them again, I will probably have to wash them twice cos the smell is still there after one. I'm so angry!! Because I am pregnant, I can't change the kitty litter. So that job is now up to Richard. I went downstairs this morning to put some of the cat wee frangranced washing on and has he changed the litter like I asked him to do last night? NOPE.

Trying to potty train Ava... STILL! She's 2.5yrs old and still too scared to wee on the potty. I don't know why she's so afraid, I have tried everything from making it a fun thing to do, to bribes, to begging! She chucked a bit of a tanty this morning so I put her into her room. After a couple of minutes I go to get her and she's wee'd all over the bedroom floor. She hasn't had a nappy on all morning, I just had the potty in the lounge room and she decided it was better to wee on the floor than in the potty (even though she gets rewarded when she wee's in the potty ).

There are crumbs all over the floor. Yes, I can use  a broom (as hubby tells me to do, like I have nothing else better to do in a day). But I have been using a broom for a month now because our vacuum died, so have had to sweep almost every floor, every day, then sweep it into a dustpan. Hubby told me he would get the vacuum fixed. A month has gone by and still no sign of it being taken to get fixed. MEN! You can't get them to do anything unless you nag, and they wonder why we do?!

I have a major headache today to top it all off and Liam is constantly begging for attention and Ava is chasing the cat around the house, screaming and yelling at the top of her lungs. Geez, I don't know how I'm going to cope with 3!!!!

Thats my vent, and I actually feel a bit better about things now, amazing the therapy of writing down your feelings huh!

Re: Really stressed out today

Hi honey,

Oh dear you seem so very stressed . . .  I really hope that tomorrow is a better day for you!!

As for toilet training - Honey it seems to me that perhaps your little cherub just isn't quite ready so I would back off for a month of two and then then try again . . Believe me when I say that when she is ready it will not be as stressful. . .  If you do back off for a while then also make sure you talk about ALL the fun things that little ones get to do when they use the big toilet like BIG girls . . .

I had a gf who's daughter screamed the house down every time they tried to toilet train her. Eventually she took my advice and a few months later she accepted the change with open arms . . . 

Good luck honey and I really hope that tomoz is a BETTER day for you all around . .

Cheers Kellz

Re: Really stressed out today

Sounds like you have had a shocker of a day sweetie, i do hope tomorrow is a better day. Doesn't help when you get no help frim hubby, sometimes men just hear what they want to...maybe a gentle whisper in his ear, that you having trouble coping with everything at the momment and his help would be appreciated.

I agree with Izzy you need some me time.....just to shut off from everything for awhile and do what ever you wish or do just nothing.

And yeah it does help writing how you feel....that was a good vent.

Cheers Janice

Re: Really stressed out today

Yes i agree with Izzy, you need a break with some YOU time. Just you relaxing doing whatever you choose too!
Sounds like a terrible morning, and dont forget to add the preganancy hormones into the mix! I really feel for you darling, some days it does just seem to pile up.
Oh I KNOW! Why cant husbands just do as they are asked, I tell Daniel that I wouldnt have to nag if he just did it the first or second time I asked, cause then I wouldnt be able to ask again, but he still doesnt actually do as I ask either! Crwzy men!

If not tonight, soon then. Make sure you go ahead and tell the hubby in advance that way he doesn't schedule anything else.   Breaks would only be harder to come by once you have #3.
