what was I so worried about?
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Saturday Oct 14, 2006Having 4 kids isnt much different than having 3. I’m still doing the same things over and over again. The only difference is that time is pretty much LIMITED and maxed out to zero tme left over. I’m a bit more tired.. okay A LOT more tired. Dh is just as much non existant as he was with the other 3. So i’m still doing pretty much everything on my own.. Whats new?
I think 2 kids were harder than 4! Maybe tis because 3 of them are older now.. Before I had toddlers and a newborn.. Now i’ve got 2 school age kiddos and then during the day its just me, wyatt, and sugar..
hardest part about that is keeping her away from him..
I’ve got to tell you guys though. I’ve been so lucky so far.. He is a really good baby.. The new born stage and first year were hell with sugar.. She screamed non stop.. Wyatt is so good.. He doesnt cry much at all and when he does he isnt very loud.. He loves to be loved and hugged and snuggled.. He has started smiling at me which I cant seem to get a pic of. Everytime I turn on the camera i get him giving me a very dull look or his tongue hanging otu of his mouth..LOL.. but he really is a very good baby..
Dh and I are still arguing alot.. but now that hunting season is upon us.. I wont see him much.. At all.
Bug is having trouble in school. Or rather the school is having trouble with bug being in school. He has been into trouble every week.. Im really at a loss to what to do with him next.. Diva got her first report card and it was better than any of the report cards she got last year.. She is doing really good!
Well, I’m glad to hear that Wyatt’s good behavior is at least one thing that’s good for you. I’m so sorry to hear about your issues with your husband and that you’re all alone.
Girl, I worry about you being alone all the time. It sucks that your other half is the way he is. Maybe it is time to stop having babies and getting yourself back as these precious ones you already have grow up. I know I don’t comment very often but I do drop in evey once in a while just to make sure you are ok. Please, if you ever need someone to talk to drop me a line in an e-mail. I will respond and lend you my shoulder anytime sweety!
I am so happy that your beautiful baby is doing so wonderfully, and so are your other 3 children! As far as Bug…everything will be okay - I went through a stage in school where I was in trouble a lot because of talking, and I got over it by junior high and never got in trouble again.
I’m so sorry that you don’t have more help! I can’t imagine having 4 kids “on my own” basically. It’s too bad that you can’t go to the spa on your own while he watches the kids like the way he goes hunting and you hold the fort down. Maybe he just thinks this is how it’s supposed to be? Is this what his mother did?
