OT-went to Yoga...came out stressed...sigh

For years I have been wanting to do yoga. Last year and the year before I spent way too much time sick...the stress of homeschooling, the ex, an autistic kiddo and having to work so that we can eat took a great toll on me. DH is always in front of people telling me how "I should do something for myself". I finally said "yes I will!" I was so excited to go to Yoga today. I got my outfit yesterday, DH was nice about it...claimed he was so happy I was doing something for me. I told him to please walk the mall with our son, so that I wouldn't feel weird with them watching, etc...So, about 30 minutes into the class, all I can freaking hear is MY SON! Talking to himself, making all kinds of weird noises, playing around...I could not freaking focus...the doing Yoga to relieve stress went out the freaking window! When I came out DH just said "so, how did you like it?" I said, I love the class, but I couldn't focus listening to OUR SON!!! He instead of saying sorry, said "yeah, right!" I almost freaking flipped. No, I did flip. He was just having a good time watching another class there of old men dancing while our son ran around making all these noises...Once again, f#$%#$% me! He hasn't even apologized. Ahole! Instead, he's mad at ME!! Ahole! We just got home and he said "I'm going to bed"...I swear, right now I feel like telling him to f#$%#$5 off and leaving. I have no friends to go out and go shopping with, I barely even go to do my hair...and if I do, sure as shit, he has to go and with our kiddo and while I get my haircut, the kid just runs around. Mind you, my son does NOT behave this way when I am in charge. But not much I can do while I'm taking a class or getting my haircut. How freeE%$#$ing inconsiderate.

PS - I am with OUR son 24/7...yes, you heard that correctly...he is homeschooled and we have no family to take care of him...and I have no car to do anything between 630AM-630PM every freaking day...except stay home, homeschool, work...that's it.

oh no! Im sorry was that your first class?? I teach yoga twice a week and concentration is key to a successful experience, im sorry your DH couldn't even give you that time to yourself. I would have been so freaking mad! Don't give up, I strongly reccomend going to another class, if done properly it is definitly a stress releiver! And by properly I mean with no distraction or worrying about your kid ya know? Good luck next time! Smile

I think you need to CHILL out! Your dh was trying to do something for you, by supporting you with the yoga. Yes, he should have taken your son away from earshot, but was it his intention to piss you off? NO! Just talk to him calmly (not pissed), and explain that while you appreciate his support, you need this time completely to yourself and that he and your son should stay home while you are doing yoga.

I'm so sorry! I hope you give it another chance...far, far away from your family! Wish I lived near you and I would go get drinks or go shopping with you! Keep doing stuff for yourself until you make some friends so you can get some YOU time.

Ah, where I live it's sadly not safe to go out at night alone. He knows I don't even want to be here. Heck, last year I saw in a two month period 3 dead guys on the street! He knows I am terrified of going out alone and we can't move until he finishes his freaking CS.

On the other hand, BEFORE the class I told him to please go to the mall, walk around with our son for just one hour...eat, etc...and not be there so that I could relax. Nope. Instead they ate in 20 minutes and showed up at the class instead. My son loves going to that mall. There are plenty of things they could have done there, including play video games, etc...instead, he just shows up and no, he's not even sitting there with my son...my son is running wild while he watches another class and could care less that our son was running around.

And they also went because we were to go out to dinner afterwards...Funny, but when he played tennis I watched my son and gave him the time...when he played golf, I did the same.

geez, what city do you live in. I meant do stuff during the day to meet friends. Maybe more yoga, or a book club, or a crafting group..any interest you might have.

I moved to a really bad neighborhood last fall too. Cops were on my block 3 times for different incidents all in 90 minutes of me getting home from work tonight!!

You can do yoga at home too, there are lots of good dvds on Amazon. Try it when your baby is taking a nap or something?

Ugh that sucks!! I would not have been happy at all. I'm sure the other people in the class werent too happy either. I actually bought a yoga dvd to try at home before I make an ass out of myself in front of other people but you do need to get out of the house and have some time just for you. I understand that!!! Its hard being home all day.

Give the yoga another try. Just leave DH and kid at home. I love Yoga...Works great for my stress when I can make the classes.

Thanks for your post. Yoga is a practice that uses posture and breathing techniques to induce relaxation and improve strength, and its health benefits may surpass those of any other activity.
