With the kids out of school, and my brother living with us since Nov. He has a son that is 1 1/2 years old which he has about 90% of the time its been hectic. The house is always loud, crowded and crazy must of the time. It would help if he was working but he can't find a job and don't have a car anymore. My feince works 3rd shift so i try to keep everyone quite. That's a job in its self.
So dealing with my own mental things I've found its easier to be outside doing things. Most of the time the kids follow me out, its not so bad. But its been soo Hot!!! I can deal with the heat but this is bad. So we're stuck in the house till evening most days. The heat is not giving up either, there calling for the 100s for the next 3 days.

My stress levels r rising along with my anxieties. My oldest (13) everyday has to make it alot worse, everyday its something. I want to go here, i want to do this, i want to hang out with my friends. She's not understanding that everything takes money. So its always a fight.

I guess all that i needed to do is vent. Its life and a mothers life. Just daily things to deal with.

Thank for reading

I totally get that!! the young ones and the teens also just want to have fun and they don't get how stressful it is for mom to try to make sure there are enough resources to go around, that everyone is taken care of and gets enough sleep, etc....it is so hard sometimes. it is a beautiful thing when the kids have a mature moment and do something to help, or show that they understand that other people need stuff too!! it does happen now and then I hope things will ease up on you soon!! hang in there

I am not a mother but I can relate to things never quieting down. I am a caregiver to my dad who has mid stage alzheimer's and luckily, it's been so hot that neither one of us want to go anywhere. As long as we have food in the house, we are good to go. I also have disc pain and am taking tramadol around the clock so it's probably wise to stick close to home. I'm used to the high humid temps where I live but not everyone is. Hope it cools down a little over the next few days.

Thanks for reading. And im sure i did all that when i was young too, just getting me back,lol. I hope it cools down too.
We went on vacation to Florida a few years back and it was really humid, more than what it was here,i don't blame ya for not wanting to go anywhere.I
That really good of to take care of your dad, it takes a really strong person to be a caregiver. Kudos to you. And im sure it means alot to him to have you do it instead of being in a home.
Sorry your hurting. I hope it gets better for ya for:-)
