Where is the sanity

In Reply to: Spears released?! - Me
I like you just don't get it. We are constantly bombarded with news of Spears and other Hollyweird people getting away with drugs, drunk driving, reckless endangerment of other people, and the list goes on and on and on. Then you have people like Lindsay Lohan saying she won't have to go to jail because she's famous. Or like Paris Hilton they get very little time in jail then get out and its back to the same ol same ol. I think I read that the night of Paris' release from jail she was out partying. My husband and I actually watched about 2 hours of celebrity rehab the other night. How sad that was. However, if they are not breaking a law I can't see it being legal to force you to stay in rehab. People need to take responsibility for what they're doing with their own life (think it's that free will thing). What I think is worse is the people who all they do is idolize the celebs and want to watch every move they make (shame on me for watching two hours of celebrity rehab). And we sat there disgusted that it was being televised but there I sat too lazy to get off my fat butt to get the remote to change the channel.
If your ready for some comedy about the celebs you should watch the Soup. That is a very funny show and makes fun of all the stupid celebs and reality shows.
Personally I don't think its the city's responsibility to take care of Brittany, however, maybe putting her under house arrest with limited supervised visitations. Her parents should be treating her like the child she is. I say act like a child and you should be treated as one. She should be grounded with a 24 hour guard paid for by her parents to make sure she doesn't leave the house. Get a nurse there to help her through the withdrawals of the drugs, but punish her like we used to get punished when we were children. It doesn't matter if she is an adult, she is not acting like one. I do feel bad for her and she really needs help (no, not Dr. Phil - excuse me while I wretch) and I hope for her sake she gets it otherwise she is going to end up like Heath Ledger.
The real kicker is here we sit struggling to make ends meet, pay our bills and we are decent hard working, don't take drugs and we get diddly while they have all the money in the world and are not happy. Maybe it should be the other way around and force a little "actuality" into their lives.
However, I got so sick of listening to the info on Brittany and all the other hollyweird people I now focus more of my time on the travel channel planning my dream vacation :-) and the food channel looking for new dishes to cook. Makes me more sane this way.

new baby is making me lose my sanity
I just need a place to let out my stress. I just had my first baby May 5, and she is just beautiful. But I am about to lose my mind. I have chosen to breastfeed her, and everything takes so much longer than I thought it would. Thankfully she has switched to a "normal" day and night schedule so I can catch a few precious hours of sleep at night in between feedings.
Did anyone else find motherhood as hard as I think it is? I don't hate it or anything but it sort of makes me not want to have any more kids if just one is this stressful. Oh, and I have already returned to my IC job (part time) so that adds to my day. I also have become extremely bipolar in my moods. Yes, it is probably postpartum depression. I am happy one minute and bursting into tears over nothing the next. Did anyone take antidepressants for postpartum depression and how did that work out? I have never had depression issues until now, so I don't have any experience with that. Any kind words or insight would be helpful. Thanks.
