Default Hi Fixmeup11

I moved in with my parents so they could help with my son(lucky me! Just what I've always dreamed!). I hate it here because they live in a tiny town in kansas where I grew up. The second I graduated I moved to Dallas so to have to come back here was a real drag. But I had no other choice and I'm glad I did it. I couldn't imagine trying to care for a toddler on my own when I can hardly care for myself. Oh the sacrifices we make for our children. What makes it worse is that my sweet little boy asks me "mommy feel better now?" And it breaks my heart. I also feel like the worst parent ever because I can't take him outside or to the park or even sit on the floor and play toys for longer than 5 minutes. Grandpa is in charge of outdoor activities. On my good days I do as much as possible with him and its awesome! Call me selfish but I want more good days.

Hi Fixmeup11, No you are not being selfish to want to feel better & do things like any mom with her children & not have this restriction placed upon you, pain is extremely exhausting, I'm sure the Grandparents are glad to help out & you are doing your best for your little one.
I too would like my Dr to live with my pain & experience the day to day struggles, I have said I would never wish this pain on anyone but if it would give him some insight to living with pain & how to treat someone like us, like you I would gladly let him deal with it. Take Care & be gentle on yourself.
