co sleeping sounds like such a good idea when you have one baby. After 4 years of it, I am tired and pissed off. Karl has taken to sleeping in the basement. I have been up since 2 AM, nursed the babe, then got des back to sleep, then Ozzy coughed, then I had to nurse again, then Des had to pee which made Ozzy get up..and then I had to nurse again..I wish I could escape to basement to sleep but alas I am the mom and we don't get breaks.
I haven't bought clothes or had a haircut in years now. Once in a while Karl will pick me up a pair of pants while he is out getting groceries but they are usually ill fitting and ugly, but I have to wear them anyway becasue I am too cold to go naked. I want to go out to shop this weekend but I can't figure out a time where I can escape as Ev will not take anything but boob.
And according to the mommy groups on here co sleeping is the way to go ...god forbid I need sleep like humans do, being a mother means being above human.... and heaven would just fucking burst if someone else fed the baby..I mean she's almost 9 months old and we have only been apart once for an hour ...she is a cute ball and chain but I am tired and overworked, isolated and alone in all this...AP is just not sustainable over years...its seemed doable when it was one or two kids but for 4 years straight? I am at my limit. I need sleep, clothes, a break...
In my next life I want to be a dad....they seem to have it made, no one has the unattainable standards for them

As for what the parenting groups say, you make the decisions that are best for you not them.
