I'm so tired of being tired and crabby. Mom to 2 boys 2 1/2 and 5 months. everyday is so monotonous.?

i don't even want to play with my kids. i work 3 days a week 4 hr shifts. i'm just sick of feeling crappy. any suggestions.

Answer:
Do you have any time for yourself?

Get away! Leave the kids with grandma for a day and pamper yourself. Everyone needs a break.
Do something for yourself..
Do you still remember what you like to do? Find a hobby or dig up an old one. It's normal to want to have some alone time, just set up a 'me day' and do what makes you happy...
Yes,Take some time for yourself and you know they say fatigue has a lot to do with what you eat.So if your eating a lot of junk food that could be the cause of it.Empty calories only give you temporary fuel.(Good Luck)
yeah sit back, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you are going to be a better mom. You should be ashamed of yourself.Dont treat your kids like that they didnt ask to be brought into this world and they deserve your attention and love. I am a mom of 4 little ones they are 10, 9, 8, and 3 and
I work fulltime and I still take time for my kids, I dont want to wake up one day to my kids being all grown up. I am not saying its easy but, you should have thought about that before you had them. Now Cowgirl up and become a mom..Otherwise, sign your kids over to someone who will give them the attention and love that they deserve. Harsh maybe but, its honest.
It sounds like you have postpartum depression. There are some meds. the Dr. can prescribe for you, or if you don't want to take meds. talk to your Dr. about different options of relieving stress and depression. Get your husband to watch the kids for a while and take a nap or get out of the house by yourself for alone time.

Although it doesn't feel like it now, it will get better, I went through it my self with my kids and felt hopeless, but I tried anti-depressants and started to get better within weeks.

Hope things get better for you soon.
I think every woman goes through this a little, every once in a while. So I would suggest getting away for a day. Go have a manicure and a facial. But if it is more serious you may want to consult a Dr.
Maybe you should find some time for yourself so you could have some fun.
mom_single_sexy is obviously single for a reason. Don't listen to her!!

Do not feel bad. We all feel that way. I'm guess you are over stressed. That's when it hits me anyway. I usually drop my son off at my mom's or leave him with hubby. Then, I go out to Borders or Starbucks. Sometimes to the mall just to be alone.

I've also got my hair done, been to the spa for a pedicure, go out with the girls.
You work 3 days a week for a 4 hour shift?? Are you kidding? I had a 3 year old and a 8 month old. I worked 5 to 6 days a week for 9 hours. Those are your kids. They didn't ask to be brought into this world. You aren't working that many hours. You still have time to play with them. You work 3 out of 7 days. What are you doing on those 4 days you have off? You only work for 4 hours. There are 24 hours in a day. You don't sleep that other 20.

Give the kids up of you can't handle them.
Are there any type of playgroups in your area, where the kids can interact with other kids/babies while the caregivers talk with each other. If there is something like that where you live, you & the kids might join it. By doing this, not only would you get a little time to enjoy adult conversation but the kids would learn about playing with others I know that the baby is still a little young to really play w/others but he would be around other children besides just "Big" brother. The parents/caregivers might even have times where some of them watch the kids while the other adults do something else~movies, shopping, or whatever.
Check into it, if there is one in your area it might help break up the monotany. Hope that this helps you and I sincerely hope that there is something available in your area. Best of luck to all of you. God Bless!
leave the kids with someone you trust and spend some quality time with yourself.
Yeah...its all about you..grow up...this is the real world
Welcome to motherhood.

It's time to get a baby sitter and head to the day spa and get a good massage!
If giving up your job is an option do it.Your kids need you.
You should find a sitter and join a new mom group. You could also find a hobby or go to the gym a few times a week. I know sitters cost money, but a few bucks every week will BE WORHT your sanity. Hang in there, you should also check with a psycologist and your Docotor too just to make sure that you are not suffering from Depression. Good luck! P.S. Don't listen to that "single and sexy" biatch, she obviously needs to walk in some other shoes before she can give her "advice"!!
