Am I a horrible mum?! 😭

Of course you're not an awful person! Parenting is bloody difficult. It sounds though ad if you're at the end of your tether and could use a break so if there's anyone that could help for a few hours / a day I'd ask them if they could take the baby and see if you can do something nice for yourself. Am sure you will feel much better when you get a break

Oh goodness you’re not an awful person, parenting is hard. The fact you’re feeling remorseful shows that you definitely aren’t an awful person. I probably wouldn’t be wrong to say, we’ve all been there. We get overwhelmed stimulated too it’s natural when you are the primary/default parent.
Schedule a day off, literally even an hour to yourself - it helps so much.

You're not at all an awful person!
I've also shouted a little (I screamed Ow! when he bit my nipple and he got scared and started to cry) but honestly your baby will not remember this at all!!
If it was a once off then you're totally not a bad parent.

thank you, your comment has made me feel so much better. I shocked myself more than anything, the thought of her being upset because of me just broke me. Over a month of sleep regression certainly doesn’t help things 🙃
I could definitely do with a break.

Thank you again 🤍

Don't worry, I have screamed at my two not once but countless times! We're only human. Babies are fine. I remember my mum shouting at me when I was little (obviously not a baby) and it hasn't caused me trauma, nor has it made me resent my mum.

I needed to hear this- thank you 🥹🤍

I feel so bloody horrible. But you’re right, being the default parent is so hard. My partner has condensed hours Monday- Thursday so has every Friday off, but he’s never once offered to look after her so I can have a little break. I shouldn’t have to ask. Maybe I need to put my foot down!

Honey..we all had that ! I many times had enough and scream, even wanted Throw the baby into pillows...its so hard...its very inportant to have break when u feel like that! And to ask about help !! Baby feel ur emotions ..and then u both are not well. Only when u are happy, calm and rest then baby can feel safe and good. Really ..trust me we all going thrue this! And its nothing wrong that u doing that. That not mean that u dont love ur baby!!! We all lobe our babys! But we need help and rest aswell! So being Exhausted in my opinion IS GOOD Excuse
Don't worry love. Ur baby love u too even u scream...and remember baby not doing anything on purpose or to make you angry. He just can't communicate any other way

Definitely not a horrible mom! I've done it afew times now, I've had one decent night sleep in 6 months, it's hard! Your keeping a little human alive! Be proud! We're all proud of you! Wait till dad's got a day off, tell him your going out and go have a walk or shop on your own! You deserve it❤️

thank you ♥️ I’ve not heard of that- I’ll look it up! Seems I could do with some insight into overstimulation as my god, some nights I’m that wired from the day, I cannot switch off for hours. And then when I finally do, baby is waking 🙃
I find it so bloody hard some days, especially after having barely slept, trying to remain upbeat is THE hardest thing. Being a mum is THE hardest thing I’ve ever done. I don’t feel any of us get the credit that we deserve sometimes, so it’s nice that there’s people like yourself and others that can offer support at times like this. I appreciate it 🥰 x

hehe this is true, I remember my mum always shouting at me and my brothers! 😅 it’s only now after having a child myself that I actually realise how bloody hard it is to look after a tiny human! It’s a wonder how any of us keep going some days. Thank you for your comment, I feel less bad now 🥹

thank you 🤍 some days are extremely difficult. I think out of the whole 5 and a half months, I’ve been out on my own maybe once or twice to see friends. Usually it’s supermarket trips with baby in tow, or I get a “break” in the evenings when dad has finished work so I can cook and clean- lucky me! I definitely agree- I do need to ask for help. There’s only so much any of us can take, and I really feel we don’t get the credit we deserve some days. It takes effort to get up each day when you’re running on fumes, to keep going 24/7. Being the default parent is hard 😓
Your comment has made me feel better about today, thank you 🥰🤍

I needed to hear this ♥️ I feel like such an idiot after my meltdown, but honestly, running on fumes, being overtired and overstimulated as hell is starting to take its toll now. We’re all bloody brilliant- maybe I need to remind myself of that too occasionally.
Thank you 🥰

Yea. I know what u feel. We are full time food service etc. So we dont have much time for our selfs. I have deal with my husband that every two days, he taking our baby for trip in car or walk when weather is fine and then I have 1-1.5h just for myself. To do nothing or to do anything what I want. Try that! Its life safer. U both are parents even if we mothers have more on head. Still dads can do a lot aswell!

You are not ! You are going through a PP depression! It’s happening! If you need to talk inbox me! I can help you! Just know it’s temporary and said that to yourself whenever you feel it’s too much! It will pass eventually!

Oh I can feel your pain. I have been there myself, in the car with my Little one screaming and yelling and have lost it and shouted at her. She has then stared at me for ages before falling a sleep and I couldn't stop crying and feeling like the worse mum for ages. Kept kissing her and apologising to her. I was tired and it got to me but just like everyone else has said, you are absolutely not a bad mum, we have not got it easy and things are going to get to us every now and then. Don't be hard on yourself! Xxx
