maybe someone feel like me sometimes:
I’m trying to do everything best for my baby but I’m unsatisfied, my son is so act/active then I’m only tired now. I have to pass all day: from 8-9 to 20 oclock when his father’s backs home…he go to bed about 23-24…
I’m trying to prepare some activities for a next day but often I’m so sleepy and unhappy.
You sound like you need a break or maybe more sleep. What are you doing for your program? Is there anyway you could rely more on the resources here for a break from making resources so that you could take time to nap or for yourself when your son is sleeping or for yourself after he goes to bed? Remember if it’s not joyous you shouldn’t be doing it so if nothing else maybe you should take a break for a few days or a week to rest and allow yourself to come back feeling fresh and excited.
Is there any way that you can have someone watch your son for a few hours a week? Do you have a friend or relative that would be willing to do that so you could have some free time to do something for yourself? Having a few hours by yourself a week to take a long bath or a nap, or do whatever you like, might really do you some good. Like Linzy said, if you are stressed and tired, then your son is going to feel it.
It sound like you are burning candle at both ends.I’m sure you are a wonderfull mother but you have to slow down.Have somebody help you with the baby .Or if there is no one around, do something different ones in a while-go to the Zoo or a park or anything else that’s available in your place.It happens to all of us ,just find a way that you can relax and maybe change your daily schedule to allow more breathing space just for you.That will allow you to step back and see your situation in a different light.Maybe your babys sleeping can be adjusted to give you more rest.Whatever you do don’t give up.
I’ll try…
the problem is that we haven’t got any parents here where are we living now, any friends - it is new place and the people aren’t very friendly
so I’m all time alone with Flavio,
now I’ve found something like “tagesmutter”, but it should be open since 10 january, I hope,
and I’m not sure that Flavio will be glad to leave me and stay without me a few ours a day, he was always with me,
thanks for all

im not sure if you have something like this where you are. we have something called a moms and tots. its a two hour lesson for mom and baby. it would be nice to look out for as you get a break with your child.
but hey. all us moms go through a rough patch. i know how u feel coz my parents live 5 hours away too. so does my husbands parents.
just remember this too shall pass
You mentioned that he is very active.How old is your baby? i know how you feel. I am a stay home 24 hour mum, taking care of my baby alone. Thought my mum just live a blk away from me, she never bother to chip in to care for my baby. Never get to have some time for myself or with my husband. Sometimes i get so depressed that i cried. You must hang on! Everyone have their tought moments. Maybe you should start to befriend with your neighbour so that at least you have someone to chat to…Doesnt your baby nap? if he does, then nap with him…you will be able to get rest in this way. When he is up playing, you can then do your stuff. This way you wont be too tired
my son is 21 months now, he is playing all day when he is sleeping I’m sleeping with him but later I havn’t got any time to cleaning, washing, cooking, and sometimes I’m so nervous bs when I’m trying to do something (make rapid soup) he gets on the table…and can fall down.Maybe I’m not operative enough to connect (relate) care and control and housekeeping…Here where we leave people are not very friendly, I don’t see my neighbours for a months…and we are living in apartment house where are three families with small children which may have been playing together…
thanks for your post
