I'm in one of those moods

MyBabeMaddie wrote: Where every little thing makes me mad, My good friends from high school are home and keep calling me constantly to go out to the bars or do this or that and they don't understand that I dont have a babysitter and I cant do something every second of the day because I'm trying to keep Madison on a schedule - I'm tired of sitting at home by myself every night when Madison goes to sleep its so lonely - I still have a ton of Christmas shopping to do, but its nearly impossible because Madison is only good for about 20 minutes at the mall. My mom is babysitting tomorrow night so I can go out to the bars with some of my girl friends, but I don't even have fun because all I can think about is Madison and what shes doing... I hate going out because that requires getting dressed up and I feel so fat. I feel like I wear a sign on my forehead that says "Don't bother talking to me I'm a b*tch" It seems like no one likes me or that I can't carry on a conversation when someone shows interest. I'm just so bitter that I picked the King of F*** ups to have a child with, this is supposed to be a family time being 2 days before Christmas and I've been sitting home alone all week (theres only so much company a 16 month old can give you).
Sorry for the rant, it seems like I only come on here to vent but I don't have anyone else who understands.

mckayleesmom replied: Sorry your feeling that way. I have the opposite...my husband is Army and we don't live near friends and family. I get lonely alot and I feel like my old friends are just moving along without me...I get jealous sometimes because they have each other. And lets not get me started on the feeling fat thing.

Maybe you can invite some girlfriends over for a little movie get together or something....something that doesn't make you uncomfortable.

Jackie012007 replied: Oh Sarah, BOY do I know how you feel. I'm 23 and all my friends are still in college - they call and want to come over at midnight to see Carly - because they don't have kids, they don't understand that we can't just drop everything, let alone get Carly up so they can see her. Because of that reason, most of my friends have never seen Carly other than in picture format. It's hard when we are moms at this age - I feel lucky to at least have Carl. I am so sorry you are feeling lonely, but you have to keep congratulating yourself for doing what is best for you and your beautiful daughter, by getting rid of that jerk. I know its hard, but if you ever need a friend, I hope you know I am here and I think of you and maddie often!

TheOaf66 replied: I feel for ya, a lot of times when Jennie is working and I get the boys to bed, there is nothing to do but sit there. Friends are out doing this or that and I can't since we are the only ones with kids. It will get better, you just have to find something to release for yourself. I play my playstation or whatever...get caught up on something you been puttin off, have a glass of wine or whatever...but I feel for ya

Boo&BugsMom replied: Yeah Sarah, aside from our friends at church, we are the ONLY ones in our circle of friends who have kids. And we're in our 30's!!! I know how you feel, to a point. Our friends do understand though, but it can be exhausting always having the same excuse..."we don't have a sitter"...or the "we don't have the money". UGH! BUT...I would never take back my kids in a heartbeat. Once they are older and self-sufficient and our friends start having kids, we can relax and laugh because we'll be past all that when they are all starting. Hang in there. I don't know what it's like to be in your shoes, but just thank God that you have a beautiful healthy and happy girl that loves her mommy.
