Overwhelmed!!
So I'm now 23 weeks pregnant with my 4th child my kids are 8,6,& 4. My older 2 are usually at school from 8-3 everyday and I stay home with my youngest. Well,last day of school was Tuesday! My kids are well behaved but they do have normal sibling fights. So I was already overwhelmed with my hormones going crazy. Then my step mom says she won't be putting my little brother (8) in summer camp so she needs me to keep him from 6:30am-6:00pm! Ahhh. I love my brother but he is an only child and pretty stuck up and annoying. He only eats chicken nuggets and pizza and I don't feed my kids junk like that daily and don't feel like I should have to cater to his pickiness. My kids eat what I give them or nothing! Now today my sister in law calls and says she needs me to keep my 2 year old godson from today till Sunday night so she can gi on a last minute vacation. I have a major problem telling people no even though I can't get her or my step mom to help me with more than one of my kids at a time on the rare occasion that I need a sitter.And my step mom will only babysit at all if her 8 year old is okay with having one of the kids at his house!!! Id love to see her face if I told her"sorry I can't help you with your son this summer because my kids would rather him not come over" wtf. I feel so taken advantage of right now I could scream! Sorry so long my anxiety is kicking my butt right now and I needed to vent.

@mommakk88 Im going to let him talk to them I would hate to get into it with my step mom especially so is rather avoid it lol. And you are getting pretty close...maybe just tell them I mean what are you supposed to do if you go into sudden labor with other peoples kids?! People don't think sometimes geeze!
@USMCwifemommy101107 thank you
@lil_buggie_3 thanks I will its hard but it would be harder to deal with this all summer when I have to take care of my 3 and get ready for the new baby
btw.. I'm gonna text ya in July for post baby body secrets..u do look great!
@mom60511 I agree! And i find it very unfair to my kids to sit there and watch another kid get different rules then they do...they would love to chug soda all day too lol. It also really irritates me that they have to know how hard i work to have a house hold of 3 young kids and a husband who works long hours and usually gets home when the kids are ready for bed,if they dont think I'm "busy" or work hard then why will they only offer to help me with one of my kids at a time(who are very well behaved) if I happen to need a sitter?? Because they are both mothers of one child and they cant handle it...why because its hard work! I get that not everyone is cut out for what i do but its so annoying! I've had to get baby sitters for not only my kids but also these two extra kids about a month ago because school was out that day and i had all 5 of them while I was sick with a stomach virus and started having contractions! My step mom couldnt leave work so it was either take them all with me to my doctor or beg my mother to keep them all...thank goodness she did lol.Sorry for more venting lol. I'm glad you understand that its hard work and I dont just sit home and hang out lol. My husband will be talking to the both of them later because he is more upset than I am over this and I just cant handle any more drama right now.
@mandac10 Hahaha,no!! I know you would think that people would appreciate a free sitter and not take advantage of a good thing. I feel bad asking anyone to babysit for me even just to go to my doctor once a month because it seems to be an inconvenience to all of my family,so my husband has been taking a half day of work on the days i have to go in
