Frustrated at times and that should be ok right?
Anyone else told how to feel? I’m told that when I’m frustrated, I shouldn’t be and just think of each moment as a blessing with the LO. It feels unfair to say that to someone who’s a new mom and trying to do their best, that it’s not ok for you to have feelings.
I’m normally calm and don’t sweat things but sometimes something will bother me and yeah I’ll be frustrated and let someone know but for them to say ‘no just don’t be’ seems to dismiss that I’m human and feels like I’m being a inconvenience.
I sometimes feel like there’s no point in sharing how I feel when my feelings aren’t being considered. I’m not looking for validation but just an outlet to get something off my chest.
Does that resonate with anyone?

thanks so much - I’ll have choose wisely knowing this 🫶🏼
It’s great when you don’t really have friends to talk to but you try to at least tell your mom about major things like PTSD and traumatic incidents and she tells you to get over it and she tells you to get over it and move on 🙈
ugh…that’s awful. I’m in the same boat where I don’t have a lot of friends and family. The ones I do find open to talk to end up either turning into about themselves or at get over it and move on. So now I’m looking more carefully before opening up.
There is also a type of training in one of my parenting programs that I take classes it’s about having a “listening partner” each person talks about what they want for a certain amount of time, the other person just listens so it doesn’t turn into anyone trying to compare things etc. you just listen. It’s strange at first at least for me but it is good too
