I just found this website, and I'm not really sure what I would like to say. I looked for a website like this because I tend to feel terribly stressed or depressed from time to time. I'm a stay at home mom and I guess the best word to describe my feelings would be overwhelmed. It's easy to feel guilty or inadequate as a mom. My 5 year old has a very short fuse and is taking it out on me a lot lately. Time outs don't seem to work very well. (Yes, I am pretty consistent, but I am also getting worn out.) Her father and I tend to disagree on discipline, etc., thus adding to my stress. He tends to blame me for a lot of things that go wrong with the kids and so do I. I don't have many adults to talk to or spend time with, so I am sure that doesn't help either. Well, I have never posted anything anywhere, but I guess I thought I'd give it a try. Thanks to anyone listening.
