We are trying for another baby and I’m exhausted. Fitting in seggs whilst being a parent is so much harder and tiring than before (so same as everything basically).

Good luck man. Never knew having a child was such an exhausting and humbling experience, I love my kid but god it’s lot of work

Sorry to hear that man. All I can offer is that it gets better. Not sure how old your first is, but I found that once my first was regularly sleeping through the night, mostly stopped breast feeding, and was in his own room (~1.5 years), it gets much easier. During the brief period of time between that and getting my wife pregnant the second time, my gosh it was like being college students again. We’re only 6 months into number two, and I keep telling myself our normal s-life is just around the corner. I may be exhausted but quite frankly the hormones don’t care 😆

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me? When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how much it wasn’t about me, how he chose to end it, and that’s what crushed me. Who I thought I knew was wrong. I want to know how close he was to loving me.

I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

Any other lonely social workers in here? I mean a lot to some of the people on my caseload but that's about it. Don't have any family near me and it's hard to make friends with non-SW's mostly just because I'm too tired after work to want to do much. Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.
