[quote=Anonymous]I don't think a babysitter or your husband to step in on XYZ will help you long term. I think you need to change your perspective.

It's as simple as training your brain to stop dwelling on the bad parts and start focusing on what you're grateful for.

When I had my first baby, I was so overwhelmed and exhausted, and probably even resented him. I remember yelling out in frustration during 3 a.m. crying. But I followed this blogger who really was so sweet with her baby, always talking about how proud of him she was for learning to sleep in longer stretches, things like that. And it really shifted things for me. I started to really focus on gratitude and it helped a lot.

I DO have sympathy and agree it can be a slog, especially playing with them and the messes they make from one second of playing before they're onto the next. I'm not trying to minimize your feelings but I really do think mental exercises can help us. It's worth a try.

And FWIW I think it's awesome that you're becoming Catholic. Good for you. [/quote]
