extremely tired
by MEL72764, Jul 16, 2008 01:07PM
I am about 17 weeks pregnant and am a single mom of two already. I am extremely exhausted all of the time. I work eight hour days and when I get home to the kids all I want to do is sleep. I think my 10 year old daughter is getting depressed and my 4 year old is bored and I feel neglectful. What can I do? I feel so guilty!!

What about extended family/friends?
Unfortunately, you may be tired the whole pregnancy, especially since you have to work 8 hour days. I know how that is.
I am feeling so bad for you sweetheart. It sounds very rough.
So the baby you are pregnant with has the same father as the other 2 children?
What about your family....can they come help out a few nights during the week....or hire a babysitter for a few hrs in the evening.
I really feel for you. I only had 1 child (2 yr old) when I was pregnant with my son and I could barely stay awake the 2 hrs it took my hubby to get home.
Can you take naps at work. Maybe in a break room or even your car.
