Raging Hormones.... - I feel like the worst mommy


MyLuvBugs wrote: I'm SOOOOOOOO touchy lately with hormones. Every little thing just gets on my nerves, and by the end of the day...I'm just soooo tired that I just yell... A lot sometimes. Poor DH takes the brunt of it, but tonight...a Sippy Cup died in a fit of raging hormones. sad.gif

DH went upstairs to "work" and left me down stairs with a screaming 1 year old that was screaming b/c she wanted to spend time with him. dry.gif

nothing I could do would make her stop, so I picked up her little sippy cup and hurled it across the room and it broke. oops. unsure.gif It shut her up, but at the same time made me start crying. bawling.gif

I feel like the worst mommy in the world. bawling.gif I'm so tired, and I don't feel like playing with my own daughter. All I want to do is SLEEP. But I can't b/c of the screaming child and the DH that doesn't seem to understand. bawling.gif

Have any of you ever gotten to this point? Where hormones just go nuts on you and you can't control your self?

Freckled Momma replied: Oh, hon...I sure have...many times blush.gif Stop beating yourself up about it, walk upstairs, hand DH your DD and go to the bathroom and lock yourself in for about an hour (bubblebath time) or get out of the house for a bit...tell him you need something...shampoo? soap? Then drive around with the radio really loud and sing with it! biggrin.gif


Sends ya lotsa hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif

luvmykids replied: At least you have hormones for an excuse! We've all been there and feel bad about it. Don't be so hard on yourself, ask for help from DH and do something for you!

CantWait replied: I did when I was pregnant and after......I was going through PPD, my dh who was at work all day, decided to come home and pick up his gym clothes and leave again for 2 hours instead of taking everything with him in the morning, or better yet coming home and giving me a break. Anyway it was a really bad day, Anthony was crying all day, either that or stuck to me like superglue. I put him in his crib after Ron left and ended up kicking in one of my cupboard doors and then sitting in a corner crying, how's that for hormones. I'm so with ya... hug.gif

Do exactly that, go hand dh your dd, and tell him you got stuff to do that you can't do with her. Then get out or escape to a candlelit bubblebath paradise.

Insanemomof3 replied: I go through that alot, but I am not pregnant. sad.gif So I can't use my hormones as an excuse. bawling.gif I get out of control at times though, and do stupid things. blush.gif

CAMSMOM1 replied: I was a hormonal wreck when I was pg, and would cry or scream for no reason at all. I felt bad about it, but I really felt like I was losing my mind...and something had taken over my body!

I still get that way. When Cam's been crying and I have just been taken to the point of no return...DH walks through the door...and it's OFF WITH HIS HEAD! rolling_smile.gif

First of all, men will never know how it feels to be a Mom, raising a toddler, and being pregnant. So getting sympathy from him probalby won't happen. So take the advice from the other ladies, hand him your child, and say "HAVE FUN BUDDY! I'M OUTTA HERE BEFORE I GO POSTAL ON BOTH OF YOU!"

And do something soothing for yourself.

I know the 1st trimester was the worst for me with my hormones. It did get a little better.

We've all have felt possessed when we were pregnant. Hopefully your DH lightens up and gives you a helping hand.

Have you thought of putting your daughter in daycare P/T for a couple days a week? I know that sounds bad, but you need a break. And it would be good for your daughter to have interaction with other kids, and you can get some rest and feel rejuvenated....and you'll be able to handle your daughter better, and your DH. Don't feel bad for taking some time for yourself.

We're here for you. We've all been crazy-hormonal pregnant monsters before!
You're not a bad Mommy, you're just adjusting! wink.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Oh YES! Too many times as a matter of fact! I broke the tray of Wil's highchair once because I was so angry that DH did something to it the night before that it wouldn't go back on. I was fiddling with it for ten minutes and Wil was fussing because he wanted his food on the tray...so I finally threw it down on the floor really hard and I started bawling! Totally scared poor Wil. I felt awful.

I don't have much advice except just try and take time for yourself. When Lorelei naps, nap yourself or take a bath. Or just put on a good movie and veg out on the couch. I know it's hard to ignore housework, but sometimes you have to IMO. I fell asleep on the couch this morning while Wil was watching cartoons. I feel like a bad mommy for this, but I look at it this way, I'm being a better mommy to my unborn child for taking care of myself. The older children will be fine!

mom2carsonandhannah replied: I completely understand what you are talking about. I have raging hormones like crazy right now. I am 10 weeks pregnant and lately I hate the world and seem to take it out on my poor kids and dh. I yell at them daily but can't stop myself. Hopefull it will pass soon for both of us. well just have to stick together!

A&A'smommy replied: OMG you poor thing I remember those harmones UGH awful!!! hug.gif hug.gif

coasterqueen replied: Yep. Course I was at work with my raging hormones and so I just am thankful my boss didn't fire me for he had to put up with. rolleyes.gif I also did have it at home but I was very lucky that my husband would take Kylie while he let me sleep the night away. I felt like a bad mommy because I rarely spent time w/her during the week because I was always so tired. sad.gif

hug.gif

Heather replied: Hormones can really take control of you. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have never been such a HUGE HORMONAL RAGING woman. Seriously. Especially in the beginning. That is how I knew I was pregnant. I was just NOT myself. The day before I tested, I had a HUGE FIT for nothing. I can't even remember what set me off, but I stormed up the steps and THREW Holly's highchair across the room. I will never ever forget that. it is amazing how much control they have over you.

Don't feel bad, it happens to almost everyone! THey are evil evil things.

MyLuvBugs replied:
I did that the other day too! I just sat down.That's all I really remember. She was watching the Backyardigans and I woke up with a little finger up my nose and hour later to Dora the Explorer. UGH. Talk about feeling bad. sad.gif But she was fine. All my kitchen towels were in the living room,but she was fine. laugh.gif

MyLuvBugs replied: Thank you all so very very much. It really helps to know that it's all normal. Mentally I knew it was normal, but it helps to hear it from others. smile.gif The funniest part about these hormones is the feeling sooooo bad after having the fit. DH thinks I'm bi-polar right now b/c I'll just go from SCREAMING to balling in seconds or less. biggrin.gif But it will get better. I just have to keep telling myself that. Just 6 more weeks and the tiredness will feel better. rolleyes.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
laugh.gif That's cute. Don't feel bad! You obviously needed some rest. wink.gif I remember how completely exhausted I was when I was pg, and I didn't have another kid to take care of. I remember the hormones too. wacko.gif Lots of hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif

CosmetologyMommy replied: Awww sorry about that. Give your DH a lil tap in the rear lol ohmy.gif
