Ha yeah right. Everyday is to different i dont know about you but it would never work for me. My boyfriend is taking on extra shifts to get money caught up for the week he is going to take off when we have the baby. so its pretty much just me here. i cant handle dirty dishes they drive me insane, mind you i have no dishwasher. So what i do is buy paper plates. and juice boxes it cuts the dishes in half. as for laundry if i dont leave the house i shower and put on pjs. same with my little girl who actually rather be naked for the most part anyways so it cuts laundry in half too. I dunno if you are trying potty training or if you already masterd that, i havent!! it is so hard when you have no energy! that one i havent came up with any help..got any ideas? LOL let me know. Oh also, i have 2 birds, a rabbit, a cat, a god and 2 betta fish, so as far as keeping the house clean ha. It is the hardest thing ever. and i am a neat freak. you are not alone i am a complete mess. Sometime you just have to go in the bathroom ar where ever you can go to get away from the toddler and cry your eyes out until you realize it will all be over soon. and then you will have 2 kids to take care of instead of one.... Ahhhhhhh..

Have every minute of your day planned into what time you get up, have brekky, get your little one dressed and then strict playtime, outdoor time and music time etc, also creative play, visiting, sleeping, cooking and cleaning. People seem to really improve with a bit of structure to their lives. I have a 9, 12 and 13 year old and no sooner do I clean than they mess it up but it is a good/better feeling to know that the house is clean every few days or whatever. You could also get stuck into a project like cleaning out the garage or linen closet or going through your drawers and organising. This will give you some satisfaction. also schedule in sometime that your hubby plays with your boy so you can have some private time for a bath or visit a friend or a walk around the block. What you are describing once is how I felt when I went on the pill; I knew I needed to clean and do things but I just couldnt and I couldnt be bothered. I didnt even want to get out of the shower or talk to anyone. I felt trapped inside myself. i went off it and went back to normal but I am just giving you that to consider. Anyway I hope things improve and go to the super nanny website for details on how to structure things. Take some control back over your life.

Its-Chelle - 1264 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i know how you feel..im not prego but i have 4 kids! im a sahm and my youngest is 21 mo! i have days where i just want everyone to leave me alone,i get frustrated and upset, like every little thing pisses me off.but when that happens its because im in need of a break and i probably didnt get enough help to have that..my house is clean, but im always doing cleaning every day, of course theres always gonna be dishes, laundry toys to clean up..but i get bothered when my older kids cannot do their fair share and im constantly having to remind them to do chores.but sometimes it helps to just step back, let it go..i find going to my room(when hubby is home to help) and just taking a break,read a book, watch tv or lay in bed and enjoy quietness..lol..pick up the phone and talk to a friend, or go outside for fresh air etc..

dawnispregz - 1264 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I know exactly what you mean,and i dont even have a child yet! But i have found that the best thing to do is to tidy the main rooms,living room and kitchen, even if its just stuffing things in a cupboard till you can be bothered to sort it properly. Then ya can chill in a 'tidy' home and that automatically boosts ya, i can leave the house for a few days and then it gets to me big style, so i attack it, with ym fave tunes on and go for it. It rewarding afterwards! Also tell ya hubby to help and if ya boy is playing with toys that are messy and all over-like bricks etc and he goes to ge something else, ask him to help u tidy the bricks away before playing with the new toy- im not an experienced mum at all,as this is my first pregz,but if you can do that with a 2yr old and they understand then try that method too to help ya. And when ya hubby comes home, go for long bath/shower and pamper yourself x x x x

I have a 9 yr old and a 4 yr old and we are homeschoolers, my house looks like a tornado hit it, the baby boys room is still pink, the list goes on and on...I am so aggravated and so out of patience, and so don't have the energy to clean/paint. Will screaming help?? LOL
