I feel tired being a mother and want to get rest fr a while...

I can totally relate to what you are feeling. I am a mother of 3 children myself and I am so tired. Sometimes I just would like a day of. But since I chose to be a mother I have my responsibility towards them, to take care of them. The most important thing that you must try to do, is make time for yourself. Even if it is just a half and hour. For instance get up earlier in the morning before you get the kids out of bed. And just use that time for yourself. Or maybe in the evening when the kids are already up in their beds. Go do something with your friends. Good luck, the most important thing is finding the right balance between yourself and your children.

I can understand your feeling of tireness. Sometimes, I am also expericing it. I try to do other thing like yaga, listening to music of worship songs, attend a short course and writing my tweet in twitter, writing my journal, book and articles. I can identify myself as a freelance writer and trainer in prenatal training. Develop your hobbies. Do something you like at your spare time that you enjoy most. It may be 5-15 mins a day. Find your identity and role beside a mother. Give assurance to yourself for you have accomplished. Positive affirmation for ourselves. We deserve it.

It is very normal dear. Being a mom is a 24/7 job, and a thankless one. Everyone needs some time for themselves to relax.

Being a mother is very tired, even you feel very happy with your child. There are too many things for a mother to do, and most importantly, being a mother makes you feel under a lot of mental stress. And stress may cause other diseases. So if you have the opportunity, I think it is better for you to take a rest.

I have kids of my own 4 and up and they keep me on the go all the time trust me i know what your going threw just hang in there being a mom can be great

I think that it is so important for mothers to take time everyday for themselves; whether it be giving yourself a mini manicure, going shopping by yourself, or planning a weekend spa get-away. Wanting some time to yourself does not mean that you are a bad mother or that you don't like your kids. I think that when mothers don't take time for themselves, they say and do things they don't mean because they are tired and frustrated. Taking time can serve as a "refresher" so that mothers can feel that they are at their best. So make a schedule and set aside a time that works for you and your family, get the support of other family members so that you can make it happen :)

well..you need a vacation and if your children are older as long as they know to do household chores they could be left with you as nothing worry. If your child is younger that you are being left exhausted with the repetitive household chores doing it every day and serving both your children and husband could be a monotonous tasks. I think you need to slow down a bit and ask for a maid or if you have no maid then ask for your sister to help you for awhile or plan a vacation or leisure activities like taking a spa massage or take a moment where you could be back to your self again.

I believe this is a completely reasonable feeling to have, because I have it from time to time and so do all of my friends. That is the reason that someone from my mother's group hosts a mother's night out about once a week on average. That gives us as mothers the opportunity to get out of the house and have some time to ourselves. Being a mother is the most demanding job that a woman can have because it is a job that requires our attention every day of our lives. You need as a woman to have a little bit of time off occasionally.

It is very natural... I have to every so often tell my husband that i need time off so that i don't get frazzled and go off on him and the children.

I undrestand you feel. I have a son,he is only one years old .Every day,he need looked after all the time .so we are exhausted.but we still love him very well. It need you patience,The little kid need you ,you must be sacrifice sometimes ,put all to him.when he grow up,your time will be return,you can do anything what you want.so please take pains.

Oh.. my sympathy to you.. But you know, if only being a mother is just like any other ordinary jobs, where we can take a leave of absence in times when we get tired and we get pissed off, we would like to do so. Or if only we could retire when we get older we could have made it too. but then again, being a mother is like a life sentence ^-^...hahaha... this is the only role where we can not even excuse ourselves to go to the bathroom and do our private thing. It is a 24/7 duty. And the worst thing is, we don't get paid..^-^ ... But anyway, maybe you are just pissed off this time. Don't worry... it will just pass by. It's not gonna stay long... Relax.. Take a deep breath... inhale ^-^ exhale^-^... Do it maybe 20 times... then you would feel relieved... Okay?

Hi! I am also a mom, yes! sometimes we feel tired doing all the activities of being a mom. The changing diapers, long hours without sleep, crying baby and so on... very tiring but HaPPY:). We cannot really escape our role as mom, our children depend on us. So we have to carry ourselves very well, not showing them that we are tired of taking care of them.We love them. We can have time for our own while: -the baby is sleeping, we can read our favorite books, write our daily journal,visiting tweeter account. we can also put on our facial masks or facial spa so in that way we feel fresh. - put on some make up while at home! in that way you feel pretty while taking care of them. -walk it out! bring your children to the park in that way you can also have time around. -talk it out, with your husband, friends, tell them how you feel. that is the best way. -SMILE:) coz you are not alone.. cheer up mommy! you can do it!

i understand what you feel... i felt it too. i have a 1 year old daughter and a 3 months old son. i need to work in the day and nurse my baby at night. Sometimes, when i get so tired, i entertain myself with a slice of cake and do some window shopping in the mall. Cheers to all mothers!

I definitely can relate to you.. There are times that the burden of the responsibilities of a mother is too much. I have two daughters and there are times that I want a break, even for 15 minutes. Just a little time for myself.

..Yeah.. I do understand how you feel because i felt that before too.. What I did is, I joined my friends when they had a get together party and we went swimming.. It's not bad to do this because sometimes, we really need a break.. You're right.. it doesn't mean we hate our kids or our family.. It's just that, sometimes in our lives, we want to relax and breath.. And we actually need that type of recreation where we don't bother ourselves about our kids or family.. we just be ourselves and enjoy the time being away from our family.. I myself sometimes wanted to be alone.. walk alone in the park and enjoy sight seeing.. Psychologists say that this is natural and normal.. It breaks the routine of our daily life.. Of course we are just human who can feel tired and stressed.. so everybody needs to breath once in a while.. I would encourage you to make a plan for your own self and enjoy being alone or being with your friend.. I do believe your husband will understand you.. My husband spends time with his friends so I asked him also to let me have time with my friends once in a while.. Happy mylotting..

Guess that would be two of us..Sometimes i feel that I don't have enough time for myself anymore..no more social life..It would be really nice and relaxing to unwind by myself once in awhile..But it doesn't mean that I'm resenting motherhood.. absolutely not!!I love being a mother...but sometimes moms do need a little break..don't you think?
