Please tell me im not the only one!!!

Comment Published at 01:1201:1217 comments17 comments47 Visits47 VisitsReport

Please tell me i am not the only one:

whose baby STILL doesnt sleep thru the night...
whose baby spends half of his/her time whinging at you because he/she is over tired, and yet wont go for a sleep!
whose baby likes to get 2 teeth at a time, you know, coz getting 1 at a time would be too easy
whose baby thinks that is it funny when you break down and cry
whose baby wont eat what you have given them but loves to spit it in your face

Please, oh please...

Tell me im not the only one!!!

Today has been so difficult for me!!! All of the above mentioned have happened and i just dont know what i am going to do if he doesnt settle soon. I still dont know why he is whinging. Teeth? Frustration from not being able to walk yet? I dont know, but oh god i hope it ends soon!!

Well thats my whinge for the day. I think i deserve 1 after all the sooking he has done today!

Re: Please tell me im not the only one!!!

Oh Cass, I've had those days, and sadly they have not gone after almost 3 years.  My daughter loves to whine about everything!  So you are not the only one hunni.  If you can hang it, take a day off, get out and do something for yourself!  You deserve it and you need it!  I take one every so often, though I usually have only a few hours, but still its a nice break to take time for just me.  Hang in there it will pass, at some point.  Though my mom says it does not until they are about 18, lol.  But seriously, you are not the only one, and you are doing a great job!!!  Take a day off or a few hours if you can and do something just for you!  No babies, just you.  You will feel much better. 

And something that I fall into is when I'm tired or stressed everything my babies do make me upset, I remember, they are just trying to learn life and are just trying to have fun.  And if you could video tape that moment, and watched it when you were relaxed, you would be laughing your head off, I promise.  So many times I have watched what was at that moment stressfull or upsetting only to laugh with my hubby at just how silly and cute it was.

And again, hang in there you are not alone!!!!

Oh Cass, I hope the rest of the week has been a bit better?

Well, you're not the only one. Sleeping thru - nope; whinging but wont sleep - some days, yep; teething in groups - my DD2 does 3s & 4s. The crying, I cant remember for sure, but I do recall that when I looked sad or hurt myself when she was Austins age, she must have laughed, but I interpretted it as her trying the only way she knew to cheer me up. Spitting food at me - thankfully no, tho she does enjoy spitting at herself in the mirror - yuk!

Whinge away - Minti is great when we've had a bad day. There's comfort in company, I think!

Okay, you're not the only one.

Been there, done that with all of mine at some point in time. Aidan was the shocking one for teething, he would get two or even four at a time. I don't think the kids ever saw me break down and cry until about two years ago, and they were old enough to realise the seriousness of it and they didn't think it was funny at all; however, getting hurt was a whole different matter, that was hilarious apparently.

I'm sure this will all pass and when he's 1 or 2 you'll wish he was 9 mths again.  Cath is right, keep going with the routine.

Re: Please tell me im not the only one!!!

Hey Cass, I feel for you, I really do.  It must be so hard trying to cope with this all on your own.  You need Shannon back to help you out and take over when necessary!

Well if it is any constilation my bubs dosen't sleep throught the night either.  He kind of wakes up and grizzles and then we have to settle him back down again this can happen 3-4 times a night. 

Austin looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.  I hope you find some peace soon!

Chin up, thinking of you - Angie

Thanks Angie

I know i need him here. He knows too, it's just hard, he has to go where the work is, and unfortunately his company has no work in my town at the moment. Hopefully they will get the 14 month job they put in for. That would be great!!

H is the same as Austin, he will grizzle 3 or 4 times thru the night. I actually got worried the other night coz he only woke up once !!!!

I know he looks innocent.. but he is the devil in disguise at the moment!!

Re: Please tell me im not the only one!!!

Oh sweety, I know days like that!  When it all seems too much, I would put them in a stroller and go for a walk. I'd pray they'd sleep then and they usually did. I'd have a coffee and between that and the fresh air, I'd feel a bit better.

Keep going with the routine. He'll get there! They all grow up and then we wish these days back again. Hard to believe right now!!!

Right this minute I have all three going off and can't wait 'til it passes either LOL

Aww Cass,

Sound slike Austin is giving you such a hard time, and it must be extra hard cos its only you that can help him. I hope he settles for you soon, and these teeth stop coming for awhile.

Thanks Dannii

Im sure he will be fine in a couple of weeks, once the teeth are right thru. It is extra hard when i am alone. I actually feel sometimes like i throw alot on Shannon when he comes home on the weekend, but then i think, na bugger it, i have done it all week, you can cop it for a day! LOL

Re: Please tell me im not the only one!!!

oh lol

the hardest time is when they are teething yes they could have more than one tooth breaking through and yes they will have sleepless nights.

i had a lot of sleepless nights with my second child then i would have to get up early get both of them ready for creche and go to work and then it would happen all over.

they are now grown and even though you wont believe this now but your problems grow as they grow

if he is teething that could be another reason why he is spitting his food

nothing wrong with having a whinge

i hope things pick up

cheers annie

Re: Please tell me im not the only one!!!

Oh dear, i wonder if i will have another one at the moment. God knows i want 2 or 3, but right at this moment, NO WAY!!

I know i will be wishing this time back one day. But at the moment, i cant wait for this stage to end!!

I never knew they spit their food if they are teething, he has never done it before, so thanks for that!!
