Hi everyone
Is anyone else scared of how they are going to cope with all the domestic duties etc once the baby arrives....
We are in the middle of moving and i am going from a new house:
(This if your interested: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-15568181.rsp?pa_n=1&tr_t=buy )
to a really old house (1900)... well it old to me anyway :
http://212.50.188.108/cgi-win/vebra.cgi?details1?src=agent&PropertyCode=1235004/WESTE/10452/4
and although i love the house we are buying, as its a really 'family home' feeling house and its in a lovely area (where me and oh grew up) and the schools are fab etc etc . I'm now starting to freak out!!
It need a bit of updating and decoration in areas on top of the nursery needing to be done which i'm stressing about... and...
I'm a bit of a Monica when it comes to cleaning and i'm hoping the baby forces me to chill out a bit. But i'm worried i just won't be able to cope with all the washing and the ironing, feeds looking after bubs, cooking tea, AND clean and maintain an OLD bigger house........ I'm scared it all gets on top of me and i that i start to feel like i'm a failer cos i cannot do it all and start to get depressed.....
we're not even in yet and last night i was laid in bed thinking ... OMG
- the skirting bourts all need glossing
- the picture rails in everyroom will collect dust
- the white doors will show every mark
- there's so many wall lights to clean....
- the windows are so big how will i reach them....
- I don't even what to think about the carpets
- the list goes on and on
i just imagine people calling and me looking warn out and the house in a state and everyone thinking "mmmm she just cannot cope with all"
I know it probably sounds pathetic to a lot of you but is anyone else having this "how will i cope" freak outs like me or am i the only one...
