Mom burn out with toddler


I am writing this at my wit's end. I am just so tired of being around my son. His voice is so high pitched and he wants everything. He's also very bad at sharing, so I get petty when I attempt to play with him and he says I can't have a certain toy.It's not the fact he isn't potty trained, it's not that he gets hungry, or tired, or any of those basic needs. It's that he's always there. And he's so vocal. And he demands attention. And he temper tantrums.I've had enough of it for months now and I'm feeling the guilt of it pretty hard. When I get irritated with him, I tell him "I'm irritated. Can you go cool off in your room for a bit." And that's been our daily routine several times a day. Him alone in his room for 30 minutes or so while I cope with the burn out and prepare for the next several hours that I don't want to do.Btw. I'm a stay at home mom. The husband gets home after 7 pm everyday except Sunday. And on Sunday it's unfair to not spend time as a family imo so I just don't really get time to myself.For his entire life, he's been baby sat about 4 times. And each of those times was date night. So, I just need a day to myself. So bad.No. A day won't cut it. I need a vacation. By myself. Just get a hotel room and watch Netflix for a week straight. Honestly. That's all I'm asking for. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/31tM0SQ
