Not feeling like mother of the year...

Cms102

I'm pregnant with my second and just can't keep up with my 2 1/2 year old son. Or the housework. As I'm writing this, I am ignoring a sink full of dishes and about a weeks worth of laundry just so I can lay on the couch and veg out for a bit. My husband and son will be back shortly but I just have no motivation to do anything!! I'm 35 wks and I know I should rest but the guilt is killing me! Anyone else dealing with this? How do you cope?

Nope. I slack off and don't feel the least but bad about it. Why are you trying to do so much yourself? Assign tasks to your husband and your son when they get back and put your feet up for a bit. Not everything has to be perfect and most things aren't worth feeling overwhelmed by.

I have a friend who actually covers her dirty dishes with a bath towel. I've though about doing it a thousand times bit usually just leave them naked in the sink and look at them disgustedly. You aren't alone. Plus when u start nesting it will all get done in 2 days. I was nesting a few days ago and now im bored because I feel like there's no more work to do

Don't feel bad I'm only 25 weeks and I've been using my dishwasher lately for the smallest amount of dishes...I really feel like a bum some days!

At 35 weeks I can tell you now I'm not gonna be doing much lol I'm 17 weeks and had to take about 4 breaks sweeping thr floors cuz my back would hurt. Don't feel guilty or bad..remember you'll be getting up with baby all night with little sleep so conserve your energy now

I'm 36w, I use the dishwasher alot, and the kids are getting used to the not soo upkept house I once ruled over. don't feel guilty! My ex husband dropped our daughter off and actually asked me if I needed help with anything. Lol I was stunned!

I can't help. I'm the same way. I feel so guilty that I just go full steam ahead, and burn myself out.

Jamie77 when are you due? Girl or boy?

I know....it's just hard with my husband working so much and it's just my son and I, I feel like nothing ever gets done! But some days it just gets to me more than others....I guess.
