I want to live somewhere that doesn't have bipolar weather. 70s one day and 115 two days later. Eff. You. See. Kay. Can it just be a nice 75° year round?
I feel like a shitty mom. DD is absolutely making me crazy the last couple of days. She just wants to be in the baby's face, won't stop doing something when I ask her to, and argues about everything. I am chalking it up to her adjusting to the new baby. I feel bad for getting so frustrated so quickly. She is going to daycare so she's home 4- bedtime. I feel like I shouldn't be this way in a small time frame.
I am in the same boat, she is only home for like 3-4 hours before bedtime, but can create total chaos in that time. In the baby's face, waking her up, not listening, doing things she knows she shouldn't. I know this is am adjustment and I am trying to be compassionate, but she is making it tough.
kaeguri I understand. I don't think I'm cut out to be a SAHM. Financially I need to stay home for the year of mat leave (which I know lots of people would kill for) to delay double daycare costs. I really don't think I could do it more than a year though. It is so so so hard. I seriously tip my hat to those that are SAHMs.
We intend to move next summer so there's really no point in me searching for a job, going to interviews, and accepting a position when I plan on leaving in a few months so I have at least a year too. People think SAHMs have it so much easier. Hahahahhaaaa if they only knew. And I only have a 7 week old. It hasn't even started yet.
runningmommy519 don't you live where there's snow? Move to where there's no snow and we'll talk. I don't so cold. Does anyone here live in Portland? It's at the top of our list. Also, San Diego.

That sounds like Missouri weather...we would literally be using the swimming pool one day it would be so hot and the next it would snow!
So I moved to southern California...problem solved Except now I have to deal with earthquakes.
C is sleeping and I'm not... I might actually attempt to have a drink?
Yea, as soon as I cracked a beer...she woke up. So, I thought I'd feed her quick and put her back down. Well, she ate for 25-30 mins, and by the time she was back in bed my neighbors- who were out socializing with H- were heading home and I gave up on having my drink. Story of my life.

I'm here too. At first, DS was great with the baby. He still is great with her, but his attitude towards me has changed big time in the last week or so. I miss my sweet, obedient little boy. Who is this rebellious 6 year old?
I'm hoping it's just him adjusting yet. Plus he has school and soccer to worry about now instead of the care-free summer days he was used to.

This is us too. SD is 6 and she's great with the baby, but suddenly she's in full on brat mode. If you ask her to do something or even suggest that she's done something wrong, she goes nuts and accuses us of yelling at her. Her tantrums are out of control. I've been trying to spend more time with her doing fun things, but it's hard to divide my time between DH, three kids, and a baby. Hoping we find a good groove soon.

Exactly...are you me? I could have written your post word for word. You have my sympathies, hopefully both of our 6 year olds come around soon.
