I have been crying all day...there is something wrong with me..(sorry, long)
I have no idea what is going on with me. Since DH's cousin informed us Lauren could not go to the wedding which made me have to stay home because there is no one to watch her i have done nothing but get upset. DH and i were both looking forward to this wedding and also to dance together for the first time in 3 years since we have no money to go out anymore.
I feel constantly left out. Im am always the one that stays home and can't go out and never gets imvited to anything because i have a baby and people assume i automatically won't bew able to go.
I missed my BFF's wedding because she had no kids, i missed DH's sister's wedding because they got married in hawaii and we couldn't not fly with a baby that far and now I am missing DH's cousins wedding. Makes no sense because DD is 9 months old and wouldn't need a plate, she would just physically be thereb with me. I am so sick and tired of being "left out" and constantly forgotten about.
I have done nothing but cry all day long, i don't normally get this upset or let something get to me like this, i just brush it off and don't let it get to me and now i have done nothing but cry all day....what the hell is wrong with me??

There is nothing wrong with you, it's normal to feel left out. It's so hard when you have kids and your friends don't. That being said, I've never been to a wedding where children were invited or allowed, so I understand where your DH's cousin is coming from.
Is there anyway you can hire a babysitter? It might be worth it to get out for a few hours. Or do you have any family at all that can watch her? Even if you have to leave early.

Re: I have been crying all day...there is something wrong with me..(sorry, long)
where is the wedding and can't u find a sitter for the night?
JMO, but your little peanut is def. old enough to be left alone with a sitter and personally, I enjoy nights out with my DH without Liam.

I hope you start feeling yourself soon.It stinks that you don't have a sitter and can't go.
This may sound corny to you but to make light of it maybe you can make a candlelite dinner for you and DH, make a CD of slow songs and dance with your DH. I know it's not the same but...

There must be a babysitting service or something like that, that you can call? It sounds like you really want to go to that wedding....can you keep looking for other babysitting options?

There is nothing wrong with you, you're human.
That said, if I can bring up something you mentioned in your last post about the wedding that could solve your problems. Find someone you trust to babysit. I know you said DH will not do it, but honestly, this is going to be how it is (with you missing out) forever if he doesn't become comfortable with the idea of a babysitter. Why don't you interview people together? Have them interact with DD while you're there as part of the interview process? Maybe even have one that you like be a helper (paid) for a few hours while he is home so he can see them in action?
If he doesn't become comfortable with the idea of a non-familial sitter then I'm afraid you're going to miss out on a lot more to come.

I agree. I think you need to sit down with DH and talk about your feelings. If I recall from previous threads, he was the one who was not comfortable with a babysitter. Maybe if he understands how upset you are, he will reconsider.

awww I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I would be upset too. I've only been to one wedding where children were not allowed, but I didn't have kids yet.

Ohhh...I didn't realize your DH was uncomfortable with a non-family member babysitter. You should definitely talk to him then, its not fair to miss out on everything!

me either. If your DH gives you grip about hiring a babysitter, than my response would be "you stay home, I'm going".

Sit down and tell DH your feelings.
We have a "non kid wedding" in Sept. and to be 100% honest, I am sooooo looking forward to it.
My DH and I bowl on a weeknight league.
My inlaws watch the kids Sept--Dec.
Then, we were stuck. We agreed to ask around and found someone local.
She's GREAT!
Tell your DH your feelings and Keep your options open.

You guys need to work something out so that you can get some time to yourselves every once in a while.

Re: I have been crying all day...there is something wrong with me..(sorry, long)
its perfectly normal to feel upset... i would definitely speak with your DH about a non-familial sitter. unless he is willing to take one night so YOU can do something and feel human again, then something needs to be done.
motherhood is the best feeling ever. but its tiresome and we need a break. i know when i shower its the best 5-10mins because its actual free alone time for me.
take a deep breath and get ready for that conversation. its a MUST HAVE for your sanity.
GL!

I am sorry you feel this way, that stinks.
Honestly I think your dh is being unfair. You have to stay home because he does not want a babysitter? That is not right. I bet if he gets left home a few times, he will change is tune. If he continues to reject the idea of a babysitter, you sould start going out with your friends & family and leave him watching the kids. I think you will feel much better if you get out there again.

ITA. I don't disagree with the idea of kid-less weddings, because I actually prefer them (even now as a parent--I like that time away from DS), but I think your DH needs to reconsider a babysitter, for your own sanity!
ETA: Do you have any LIF friends who you could trade sitting services with? I think that would be a great idea, especially for SAHMs!

I second that. That is complete BS. You should not have to miss out on all of these events if you can find a trusted babysitter.

give the baby and bath, put her in pjs, and say goodnight to baby and dh.
there is no way i would stay home. i go out without dh all the time. he doesn't want an outside sitter because of josh's asthma, money...no problem, stay home.

ITA with this.
She is old enough for a sitter and IMO, if you live no where near family then a non-family sitter is something you need to tackle!
You have a few weeks, interview a few girls and do a little trial run, go for ice cream with DH and see how it goes
