I'm a little better now, but was really disappointed in myself last night. It was the end of a long day and Joey is out of town. I was talking with him on the phone and lost my patience (S1 spilled water all over as I was trying to clean him up). I just kind of needed Joey to be supportive and empathetic. It would help SOO much if he would just acknowledge that he would be feeling frustrated at times just the same, but I feel like instead he kind of reels back, eyes bugged out and acts like I'm mental. He just said, "I love you," which I certainly appreciate, but it's not specifically what I need right then. I know that those are weak moments for me and it's not "fair" to expect him to help me, but that's what having a partner is for, right? My two best girlfriends, one with kids, one without, ALWAYS makes me feel better, totally supportive and empathetic. I guess I should just drop it and not expect him to be able to be that for me. He actually started berating ME, tellig me that I needed to respond when he said ILY, (I was just trying to regain my cool for a minute).
Anyhow, I'm rambling and Sam is fussing trying to get in my lap. I need to try and get him down for a nap so I can go take a shower. I just tried to make coffee and set Sam on the counter in front of me. I turned around for half a second and he pulled the coffee filter and got coffee EVERYWHERE. Am I the only one who gets frustrated by these types of situations? Have I been a stay-at-home mom too long? Cadesmom, I know you can relate, but you always seem so strong. What's wrong with me?
