Confession#1 : No More Colic!
Posted on | September 24, 2009 | 3 Comments
When Jack cries nonstop for apparently no reason it makes me second guess myself and wonder why I ever became a mother. To listen to this shit nonstop? I have to because he has no one else. I knew this when I decided to become a single mother, but then it seemed it would be easier to stand. It makes me nervous. It makes me stressed. It makes me crave a treehouse, a joint and a cheeseburger.
I love him to death but I just wish he would quit for one day. No, one week. Please? PLEASE!

Oh the dreaded Colic. Hang in there, it will get better i promise, but your right, I can’t imgine how difficult it must be not having someone to give the baby to for a few minutes to get your head back together. All i can suggest is put him down in a safe place, and walk away from him to a different room for a few minutes. Letting him cry for a few minutes alone is far better than feeling like your going to lose the plot, and turing to drugs to help you feel in control.

He will.
Which doesn’t really make it easier now, I know.
Hang in there.

The hardest part is that we live in a studio apartment right now so I really can’t escape it. I’m pretty good at leaving him alone and zoning him out for a little while but since he’s gotten older he will cry longer and harder than when he was a wee baby. He’d give up and fall asleep after 5 min, now he will cry as long as he needs to! It drives me crazy!
I was just joking about the weed and cheeseburgers because I’ve quit both of them .. but when I’m stressed the idea of the comfort that the both of them bring sounds great lol.
