Today, my 9 month-old son realized he is just as tired as I am. His solution is to cry loudly. My solution was to cry along with him. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I'm so tired from constantly soothing my crying 2 month-old baby that I've started trying to soothe inanimate objects with baby talk whenever they make a noise. My fridge started beeping and I began an involuntary chorus of, "It's OK darling, shhhhhh, it's alright." FML
Today, while breast feeding my 7 month-old before his nap, I hummed his favorite song as I rocked. He pulled away, stared at me, and cried til I shut up. FML
Today, I realized it isn’t my 5 month-old son who has the issue sleeping without me, it's me who can't sleep without him. This is his first night in his crib and I can’t fall asleep. FML
Today, it's 3:42 a.m. and my son is crying because I won't let him play with his dirty diaper. FML
Today, I told to my son that I'm pregnant. After I'd told him, he looked up and yelled, "Fuck this shit!" and walked out of the room. My son is nine years-old. FML
Today, at 2:30am, I heard my baby crying on the monitor. As I got out of bed, she stopped crying and started laughing. There's nobody else in the house. FML
Today, my son climbed into our bed because he'd had a nightmare. He and my wife spent hours whispering and giggling like they were at a slumber party. Cute, until the next morning, when they were both tired, grumpy, and uncooperative. FML
Today, my energetic 10-month-old decided to stay up four hours past bedtime. After I FINALLY got him to sleep, I tried to go to bed. My husband is now snoring, farting and taking up my side of the bed. I desperately need some sleep. FML
Today, I found out our newborn snores worse than his father. FML
Today, I realized every time I go to take a poop, my 9 month old crawls into the bathroom and sobs at my feet. I now have to let my 9 month old sit on my lap while I shit, because I can't do it any other way. The end to all privacy has now come. FML

Uh, when you are raising a young baby who cries and needs constant attention (and probably experience some post natal depression) I think it's okay to have a little cry when you're over tired and stressed.

Maybe you should send him to the grandparents so you can get some sleep

I don't know why your comment would receive a thumbs down; it's a completely logical solution. My mother has offered numerous times to come over to watch my son so I can get some peaceful sleep. But my situation is a little different ... with a baby on oxygen who needs constant monitoring. I've been sleeping (not so peacefully) on the couch now for 5 months! But I'm not complaining...best 5 months of my life with him home with me!! :)

See a counsellor or psychiatrist. Post natal depression sucks.

It gets better. Try letting someone else put him to sleep. My son always fell right to sleep when someone else had him. Try a special blanket or reading as you rock him. He may be colicky. Chop up part of an onion boil it in some water. Add a little bit of sugar. Strain the water into a bottle. Let it cool down to bottle temp and give it to him. Old home remedy. Worked like a charm for my son. He absolutely loves onions now.
