| Stand up and be a mom, you can't run from your problems, they'll still be there when you get back. You need to come at them straight on and deal with them. Have you considered a time out for your toddler? Take a favorite toy from them when they are being bad and don't give it back until they listen. My little one loves cars and when he doesn't listen, I take them and a few moments later he starts to listen. Also, he's old enough to give him the talk when you know you'll be doing something. An example....Ok, we're going to have some lunch now....are you hungry? and then after lunch it will be time for your nap. We've all been in stressful situations, but each situation is different. You can do, you need to be able to do it for the sake of both your children. ↑ |
| I know how you feel, I have a two year old, who well...acts like he is two :) and I'm nine months pregnant. Bills are overdue as well, but when arent they when you have children? I would let your husband worry about work, and you take care of you and the children first. Try going for a drive by yourself once in awhile or getting a really good book to escape from reality once in awhile. ↑ |
| yeah i have a 3yr old, a 2yr old, and just had a baby boy 6wks ago. every bill we have is high and behind. we get repo notices for our car all the time and i'm always worried that we will get up in the morning and our only running car will be gone. my husband and i have been on the brink of divorce for months due to gambling and drug addiction......i making it through and my kids are great and dont have any idea anything is wrong. suck it up and deal. this is life. i mean sorry to sound harsh but really, what else can you do but just deal? life is what it is. ↑ |
| you need a time out!!!!! yes take one for your self. even if its only 5 minutes. If you 've been doing time outs for him then he'll get it well maybe not but its worth a try. if your so over whelemed get some support from the church or outreach in your area. let me know how it goes. ↑ |
