Mom guilt

Today I was venting with a friend and stated how frustrated I am. My son is teething and has just been crying non stop. Trust me we do e everything we can to soothe him he's just uncomfortable. It's just been a week straight of him teething and it's been a lot. After I was venting about being frustrated I felt so so guilty. I love my son and didn't mean to make it sound like I didn't. Mind you my friend was so so sweet and non judgemental. I'm just looking for support and wondering if anyone else feels like this sometimes as well.

@Kate Hilvers I get it! It’s hard! Our babes are at two different stages right now yet when i can’t soothe him I beat myself up about getting frustrated, but I used to work with other kiddos who were teething and it was hard!! You’ve got this Mama!!

I’m in the exact same boat! When things are hard with my son like teething, I remind myself that this isn’t forever; before I know it he’ll be grown and I’ll want this moment back. I sing “you’re gonna miss this” by Trace Adkins. All you can do is comfort him and love on him, which it sounds like you’re doing. I swear I bought everything for my sons teeth and he was still upset. I nursed A LOT. Mom guilt is heavy to carry. I still have guilt about letting my son cry it out one night.
