2 working parents, and a mother who NEEDS HELP.

Let me start off by saying, my fiancé is wonderful, and our daughter and I love him very much. BUT I work 40 hours a week as a medical assistant, running a while medical records department by myself. I’m also our daughter’s primary caretaker. Meaning I do EVERYTHING. Here’s what I mean... Daily weekday schedule: - Wake up, and TRY to get ready for work before the our 15 month old wakes up. (Chances are, I get up, and 10 minutes later she’ll wake up, which means I either take her to the bathroom with me, and try to get in a quick shower while watching her, making sure that she doesn’t get into anything she isn’t supposed to. OR I skip showing completely, and get her ready before I get myself ready. DRY SHAMPOO IS LIFE.) -Get daughter ready for daycare. •Give baby her seizure medication, and her beta blocker for her hemangioma •Get her dressed •Make sure her hair is fixed, and out of her face •Socks and Shoes -Pass daughter off to grandmother so I can ATTEMPT to look somewhat to put together for work, 10 minutes tops. -Load baby in car -Daycare Drop off (Try not to cry when she starts crying while you’re walking out the door) -Go to work for 8 hours or more depending on the day. (I won’t get into all that, there’s too much ) -Get off work, pick up daughter from daycare, drive home. -Try to calm baby while preparing her dinner, while she is having an after daycare meltdown. -Feed baby dinner. -30 minutes of play -Bath time •Wash body •Wash hair •Play, sing songs, try to learn word • dry baby, apply lotion •brush teeth and hair -Bed time •Read story •Watch boss baby •give seizure medicine, and beta blocker -Daughter is sleeping, time to clean and make sure that we ALL have clean clothes for the next day. -Try and figure out how to balance all of my daughter’s specialty appointments with work, daycare, physical therapy, AND early intervention. -Balance bills, and daily expenses. -Down time, means no sleep. Sometimes I stay up until midnight just trying to get some alone time.5 DAYS A WEEK. This is what I do. Me and me alone. It’s starting to feel like I’m a single parent. My fiancé has Tuesdays, and Saturdays off. Daughter started daycare a month ago. What does he do on Tuesdays? He sleeps in until 10, and lays around watching TV. I hope that putting the baby in daycare would enable him to help around the house some. Nope. Then on Saturday he get upset if I wake him up before 9am, and tells me I never let him sleep in.When do I get to sleep in? When do I get to sit down, and eat a meal all to myself? When do I get to shower? (Currently on day 4 of not having a REAL shower, just spot cleaning and dry shampoo, while he’s in the shower for 30+ minutes for his DAILY SHOWER.) I’m exhausted. I’m at my limit. I’m fed up. I feel like a single parent every day of my life. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2oXJAi3
