My sis tone today annoyed me. I'm pg with #3 and just got back from making 2 diff. pick ups from summer camp. I just mentioned how I was tired and she said (in a smart ass tone) well it's just gonna get worse when the baby comes. She also kept saying WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?? HUH?? (she repeated this like 4 times) YES I KNOW I told her but not every sahm is lucky like you and could afford a live in. Seriously I know it will be hard and yes I can't afford help but I don't need anyone reminding me what my reality will be a few months down the line. I'm a big girl..Just venting [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Call her on it. It's a little late in the game for her to criticize your choice to have a third. [ Reply | More

You don't work, your kids are in camp all day, but you find it tiring to pick them up and think you're "unlucky" because you don't have a live-in sitter who could pick them up? [ Reply | More

Of course I have been, but OP wasn't--they were in camp all day. Just picking them up was too tiring for her. [ Reply | More

op: excuse me?? Who said I don't work. I do work from home AND I have a DISABILITY..AND I drop off and pick up all by myself. Could I use a 2nd pair of hands to help on the days that I'm really feeling ill? YES I CAN..but we cannot afford it. So why not stop making idiotic assumptions about me [ Reply | More

I'm not making assumptions--you're changing the story. In your original post, you were a SAHM who was tired because you had pickup at 2 camps--now you worked all day, and are disabled, and are feeling really ill. If all that is true, of course you could use help--but that's not what you said originally. [ Reply | More

op: yes I do sahm but I have to work from home. I don't have to use explanations when talking to my sister. I posted what the conversation was btwn us. She knows I stay home but work from here. BTW I don't think that I have to put all of the detail you said I should since the post was about a conversation btwn my sis and myself. She knows my disability, she knows I work, she knows exactly what I go through...that is why her tone was so annoying to me. [ Reply | More

np: I don't know about you, but we got a lot of "concern" from people when we decided to have a second because I also have a disability. Really annoying. [ Reply | More

just as an aside, it won't be worse when #3 arrives. I found pregnancy to be much more tiring than the actual new baby #3. The baby will just go where you go, older kids will be in school (I'm assuming) and you can chill w/ baby at home until 2pm. It's not so bad. [ Reply | More
