Am i a bad mom?

You're not alone. I worked full time with my boys in daycare before we moved. Now I'm a sahm and the house is starting to feel like a prison

I have two under 3 and I felt this! I feel like I’m going insane sometimes but stepping away (as long as they’re safe) helps even just for a few minutes

You are not a bad mom! You are human and being a mom is ALOT for anyone sweetheart! Sometime we lose our cool, sometimes we can’t always be happy, but they know you love them. It’s ok to have hard days! But, you got this momma!! I have learned taking to kiddos like they are adults and explaining how you feel in their words sometimes helps them understand a bit better so maybe try that. Or maybe daycare for the other 2 when the other little is in school so you have a moment to breath. You deserve a moment too mom!

You are definitely not alone. Those are the feelings in motherhood no one likes to talk about and we feel so unprepared and unsupported for. I’m not a SAHM mom but I hate feeling trapped inside on the weekends. Do you live in a house with a yard? Creating options for play outside has helped us tremendously! I feel better about wasting the day outside than inside lol and he will play out there solo and give me some space to breathe

You are definitely not alone! And not a bad mom. You need a break! You need adult company. It is normal. Also, you are still young. Take moments. I go through the same thing, and I know moms who have gone through it as well. Also, reading these other comments tells you that you are NOT alone. Hopefully, what we all said can and will be reassuring for you!

You are not a bad mom for struggling with something that is hard! You are human and spending so much time and energy for kiddos is draining! They usually won’t tell you how much they appreciate everything you are doing. Feeling like your efforts go unnoticed can build up and take its toll. It helps to have some mantras. In my toddler classroom I tell myself “this isn’t personal” because toddlers do not do things to purposefully bother or annoy you. That one helped. I’m in the process of labeling my own feelings to myself and saying “it’s okay to feel x, it won’t last forever.” I’m starting a short gratitude journal to highlight parts of the day/week that bring me joy. It’s so easy to lose sight of those moments when the days and nights are long and fussy. During my pregnancy I made a list of things I would like to do that would bring me joy. Sometimes it was as simple as make some tea; other times it was about working on a puzzle. You are not a bad mom bc you are trying! 💕

You are not a bad mom at all, and you are definitely not alone. I am one woman in a house of 2 adult males and 2 boys, 14 and 11 years old. Plus, my son. With my vehicle and license situation being messed up, I get tired of being stuck at the house all the time. It gets overwhelming, I already have depression and after having my son, it got worse for me. I'm always struggling, but I try to be better and stay positive for my son. I keep pushing through somehow. I am here if you ever want to talk.

You’re not a bad mom. It’s hard to remember that we are doing the most important job sometimes. We are raising the next generation.
