Just venting, no votes or comments expected.Just had our 3rd kid and life is miserable. The kid never stops crying. Never. The other two (4 and 2) are behavioral monsters and we're about to begin physical discipline as we're out of ideas in how to control them. They don't listen, they don't eat, they break everything and literally do the worst thing in every possible situation.My wife has been out of work in maternity leave (unpaid of course) and our savings are gone and our credit cards are maxed. We'll have trouble breaking even for years, never mind ever saving anything so being comfortable or retirement are completely out of the question.This kid was a huge mistake for us and we're absolutely ruined for it. Dare I say I hate my life and family now. There is no peace and the endless stress and struggle is killing me. I want to leave them all but they'd be even more fucked than we are now. There is no help available, no support network, and I don't know what else to do. I lock myself in the bathroom and turn on the fan to drown out the endless screaming just so I have a few minutes to cry.And the worst part is, we don't even have any real problems either. People out there are dealing with truly terrible situations and been dealt awful hands and here we are just not wanting to lie in the bed we've made. So I feel guilty for being miserable on top of it all. Nice huh? Well, pit party over, I got a screaming baby to deal with for the next 10 hours. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HpJZB3
