[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to motherhood. I find it incredibly hard to believe you can't get anything done during the day. Do you play all day long ?  I had 3 in diapers and still managed to cook, clean, go out shopping, do laundry. The machines today are great, they do the work now, all you have to do is put it in and take it out.

Correction, you don't watch your kid. You parent. He's not a pet.

As for your husband, he's got a legitimate gripe. You are a lazy wife, self absorbed while he works non stop. Grow up Princess. Why did you have a kid if you didn't want to be a mother ?  [/quote]

Wow! PP, you have a real bitchy attitude.

OP, parenthood should be joyful, however, if a parent does not get any break from work and childcare, they feel rundown and exhausted.  Both you and your hubby work very hard. I would outsource some of the work and also get some paid babysitter or mother's helper for a couple of hours - to give yourself and your husband some break.

I am a SAHM and I left my high paying job to take care of my kids. I outsourced a lot of housework and some child care as well. It cost us some money (and we are not rich), but saved our sanity and resulted in a happy household.

Is outsourcing some work a possibility for your household?
