That's momming like a pro, right there. It's really hard even in the best of times. Like super hard. Then they do that cute thing and your heart melts all over again. This new world is so scary. Its scary needing to be so strong and tough and well balanced to get through this. Its ok to lose it once in a while. We are ...

I feel this so much. I love my kids with all my heart and cherish all this time together but dang the no alone time is tough! I know my son is struggling with this isolation thing too so I try to keep that in mind with the tantrums but dang it gets to you. Nice to know I’m not alone.
7,313,303
mommit
I needed to know I’m not alone. Omg thank you. I was losing it today with my kid. He’s in a full on freak out phase and it driving me insane.

Ooof, I definitely would have cried, too!! It’s great to recognize that it’s not important in the long run, but damn, it’s absolutely ok to cry about the short term. That’s a bummer. I gotta ask... how did the smashing happen?
7,313,308
mommit
As I read this, I kept saying “ umm yes, this sounds about right, oh yes of course that happened, definitely the kid had to do that, oh yeah if there was half a gallon of water, that definitely had to happen! Oh the food in the trash well that was expected “ I swear living with a toddler and a dog is like everything ...

Oh no! I just made this face all over again reading your story. Hope you have a bottle of wine on hand. Cheers, mama, hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Oh, that suspicious giggle.
7,313,311

I have a feeling it’s going to keep feeing like this until after they move out!
7,313,312
mommit
Absolutely. It’s beautiful to see that the struggle and the love go together. If we didn’t all care, it wouldn’t feel hard.
7,313,313

Congrats, Karen. Go do a few more home-made sensory crafts while the rest of us lay on the couch and try to survive while we cry
7,313,314

Thank you.

Man, I know. Mine had a very busy social life before, I’m sure she’s feeling it too. It’s tough on everyone. And no, you’re definitely not alone. Hang in there, sister.
7,313,316
mommit
I'm not entirely sure. I was in the other room while he was watching cartoons and I heard a crash and a scream. I'm guessing he tried climbing onto the entertainment center. Thankfully he was okay.
7,313,317
mommit
You as well! We will make it through this crazy time. BTW if you drew this picture you’re an amazing artist!
7,313,318
mommit
Thanks, I did! I went to my alone spot and cranked this out to cool down. Successful catharsis, 10/10, will do again. Because, let’s be real, I’ll fee this way again soon. HA!
7,313,319
mommit
"..a blowjob" haha!
7,313,320
mommit
OH MY GLOB. That's why I do that. I was wondering why I burn 3 minutes of my day just sitting in the car when I get home. Good to know I'm not crazy
7,313,321
mommit
I do this everywhere I go. It's nice not worrying about anything for a few minutes before everything goes back to crazy.
7,313,322
mommit
I do this at the grocery store. I usually go by myself in the evening when my husband is home. Once I'm done, sometimes I sit in my car for a few minutes (or 20, lol) and just enjoy the quiet...it's like a vacation!

Oh my god. This answer is going to stay with me for a long time.
7,313,327
mommit
I really hope the blowjob is part of the 'home' responsibilities.
7,313,328
mommit
I always do that. I am also a nanny and the parents I work for do this all the time. :) Specially if they get home sooner than my regular leaving time.
7,313,329
mommit
YES.
7,313,330

Every time.

My child would tell me if my cookies were burned..after he ate all of them.

I’ve been feeling bad about not getting my son as much this year as I did last year, but he’s 4. He’s happy to get anything. He just wants to go see grandma and grandpa again. (We’ve been sick the past few weeks and haven’t been able to make our usual weekly visit.) We didn’t decorate as much this year. He LOVES the C...

Thanks! I have a nasty stomach bug right now and we are getting a blizzard outside. We have watched Christmas movies all day. I was feeling a little bad about myself, but I think the kids are having a lot of fun.
7,313,339
mommit
Yes!! Thank you, no gifts this year, but I did take off a day to stay home and decorate and bake today. Merry Christmas Everyone

I sure did, thank you for posting this!

Popped up as I was wrapping presents and definitely needed it. Every time I wrap one, I turn around and the pile looks like it’s untouched. Which I’m slowly becoming more and more grateful for. I was stressed this year because I quit my job to be a SAHM, but our family is happy and healthy and we’ve been able to put th...

I have to remember this one. I'm 35 weeks pregnant, 40 years old, having some health issues. I can't be super mom this year, no matter how much I want to. I haven't bought anything for the stockings or sent cards out. Still have a few odd gifts to wrap. But my 4yo will still have the best Xmas ever, because Gabbys Doll...

I’m now messy crying. . Always feel like what I’m doing is not enough. Always feel like I have no patience

7,313,345
mommit
I had a talk with my mom a few years ago about Christmas, and she said she always felt bad about how few gifts she was able to get for us. But I remember getting SO MANY gifts. I think it's just a difference between child and adult perspective. I try to remember that at Christmas time
7,313,346
mommit
I don’t know if my parents did Christmas crafts with me. We lived in a flat so we just a few decorations. I remember a few toys as well What I remember was going to my grandparents place and watching special Christmas shows on Christmas Eve and stealing chocolates off the tree. And the food! And the company and laughs...

I needed this today. Thank you!
7,313,354
mommit
Thanks for making me tear up!
7,313,355

I really did need this today. I’ve been working some much overtime just to stay afloat on bills and groceries.
7,313,356
mommit
I was wrapping presents last night feeling super upset that I couldn’t get them more and then someone shared this with me and it really helped change my perspective.
7,313,357
mommit
My kids are just now asking for an elf and I have no idea how to find the energy to add that to holiday stuff
7,313,358
mommit
A lot of us need this right now! I'm sure your kiddo will love the presents you bought!
7,313,359
mommit
For some extra perspective, there isn’t a single wrapped gift under our tree because we can’t afford any. Not even simple stocking stuffers.
7,313,360
mommit
We only do the elf for 1 week leading up to Christmas, which makes it sooo manageable (IMO).
7,313,361
mommit
Are there any charities you could reach out to today? Or stop at Salvation Army and ask if there's anything they can donate to your family? I know you said you can't afford gifts, but if you had a few dollars in change that you could find around your house or car, even a $1 coloring book at Dollar General and some new ...

Wow it rare to find a McDonald’s with a working ice cream machine. Sorry it was a long looong day.
7,313,364
mommit
hey you do what you gotta do to get through the day! can we talk for a second about how mcdonald’s has THE best caramel sauce? like why is it so good??! what do they put in it????
7,313,365
mommit
One of my favorite things to do after having an really rough day is picking up some food and eating it in my car in complete silence. Lol. Is this just me?
7,313,366
mommit
Why does that look so good right now. I feel you though I was so exhausted this morning I gave my son eggo waffles.. I usually cook for him but after yesterday I'm just..over it.
7,313,367
mommit
At least I hope your day is good to be better than yesterday! Much love

Their ice cream just hits right. Every time.

Oh my god! That looks sooooo good... Om that's it. I'm having ice cream for dinner tonight!
7,313,370
mommit
Ha! I was right there with you! Dinner last night was a handful of jelly beans and a half a bottle of wine (please don’t judge me!).
7,313,371
mommit
It's all good. I had a Mint Chocolate Chip Klondike bar for breakfast this morning
7,313,372

That looks amazing. Sometimes ice cream for dinner is the answer.
7,313,373

No nuts?!?
7,313,374

Oh I miss the McDonald’s sundaes, gutted they’ve been discontinued here.
7,313,375
mommit
I got a burger and some cheese curds.... we are in the thick of the 4 month regression. I’m losing my mind.
7,313,376
mommit
i live on my own and sometimes you just don’t wanna cook so i’ve eaten terrible things for dinner like cheesecake, chips, ice cream, etc…
7,313,377
mommit
Next time get a warm apple pie to go with it from there and dip it in the caramel sundae SOOOO GOOOOD.
7,313,378
mommit
Best thing about it is you didn’t have to plan it, grocery shop for it, cook it, and clean up. You don’t even have to wash that cup!
7,313,379
mommit
Only one?
7,313,380
mommit
As a father of four, I would say this is a great option and I commend you on eating dinner!
7,313,381
mommit
Ugh I would kill for a mcsundae right now!! Did you eat anything else today? Take care of yourself, mommy, so you can keep taking care of your LO! I really hope your night will be better, enjoy some peace and quiet!
7,313,382
mommit
Don't worry! I am eating a Mc Flurry with Smarties, Granola Choc and Lion at the moment. That's my dinner, too!
7,313,383

Don't apologize for being an amazing, hardworking mom! And as others have said, I'm shock you found a working McDonald's ice cream machine.

Feeling this so hard today. Thanks for the inspo
7,313,385

I’ve had ice cream for breakfast more often than I should admit.
7,313,386
mommit
On a different note, what in the world happened to the price of this? I thought it was $1. Got one the other day for $2.50! Is that typical?
