I’ve been working on this a long time. Alex has been wonderful helping us think through how to divest in Musk properties. I want Musk out of my retirement fund, 401k and portfolio**. (**if I had one.)

Update: she is exhausted. She fell asleep holding my hand but the second I got up hysterics started, and she threw everything out of her bed. We are down again, but she’s been waking up every hour or so and is apopletic if I’m not there.

Lots of you have had similar experiences. Any tips? Gods to sacrifice to? Demons, even?

I talked to her about converting her crib into a bed, but she oddly declined. She sounds like she wants a whole new bed but I cannot imagine the issue is the crib. She screamed in my ear on Thursday and now I have a wicked earache and am gonna go to urgent care tomorrow.

I am really fucking frayed around the edges. I don’t really know where to go with this, but I need to put it somewhere or else I am going to break. Three weeks ago, my well-adjusted 2.5 year old decided that she would violently resist sleep. And by violently, I mean it.

The problem isn’t the lack of sleep, it’s the lack of time for myself to, say, shower or eat or pee or all three at once. I took her to the doctor who was like, “she is healthy and I don’t have a magic wand” and then I googled “melatonin for babies” before hating myself.

It all comes from me working too much and long hours, etc. along with additional “co-parent” context no one needs to hear but I am so totally empty, her terrible, awful cries are just becoming static. I saw the Jessica Chastain “Other Mommy” trailer and was like, “lucky bitch.”

While this happens, she just bloody screams. She gets tired, but she doesn’t give up. She literally fell asleep lifting herself out of the bed last night. My day is: wake up, child to daycare, work, get child home, fight for 3 hours, sleep for 20-30, fight for 2 more, sleep until 2 am, repeat.

I am a single parent who is the CMO of functionally two companies, though one is much more nascent than the other. I take her to daycare, work, come home and spend time with her and once she is in bed, I need to decompress and rest. I don’t think I have entered REM sleep so far in September.
