So stressed

[sweetangelmum]

I am so stressed today. Very tired no sleep in about a week. Husband is being not very much help. Feel overwhelmed and just like giving up.

I feel like a rubbish mum and wife. I mean I ended up giving the kids a samwich for dinner as I was too tired to do anything else. I screamed at my husband which made me feel worse and I am here nearly crying.

I just want today to be over as soon as the kids are asleep I am hitting the sack. I am so tired.

Sorry for my whinge.

1 - what's wrong with samwiches for dinner?

2 - you are 24 with 4 kids - of course you are tired.

3 - you are a wonderful mother - being tired just goes with the territory

4 - calmly tell DH that you need his help - and appologize for yelling
5 - HUGS!!!!!!!

6 - I just saw your other post that your babies are sick - yet another reason for DH to step-in and help some more; and another reason for you to be exhausted

SAM... some days are just write offs! The best thing we can do is pick ourselves up and move on!

Poor thing! Of course you're exhausted! It's so hard when children are sick, they all need your attention, like, all the time. That's tough on you.

Have you got your mum, a sister or an in law nearby who could come and help you out for a day or two? Someone you feel comfortable enough not to have to be a hostess to while they're there? Can you ask one of the ladies at church if a group of them could band together and make a few meals for your family?

Feeling like this doesn't make you a failure, it means you really care about your family and you want to be able to give them your best. But the only way you will be able to give of yourselves is if you have something to give. You need a sitter so you can have a sleep, eat something and come back refreshed. Christ asks us to give our all, but He never asks more than we have. It just sounds like your a little low on your supplies.

Praying for the quick recovery of your kids, and a replenishment of your energy.

Thanks girls it was so nice to login just now and see your responses. My dh was very sorry we both ended up admitting that we were both sick last night. I did say sorry for yelling.

I am sick this morning but he has been a lot of help and we both are muddling through.

Thanks again means a lot.
