Believe me, I feel the same. I don't know any baby song or story, I don't read or talk much to my baby, not because I don't want to, I just do it automatically,not even smile often. But I love him so much, and I feel like I will be the worst mother ever. But doctors said I'm doing great ,feeding, changing, and taking care of the baby's health. So, hopefully, it will come over time.
And all my family in Russia, I'm by myself, tired also. So you are not alone! There is no need for therapy, I didn't do it. I'm just getting better on my own. You will also
Good moms have bad days! The bad days don't define you, and definitely don't predetermine your actions. If you want to read to your kid more, start first thing in the morning and count the books you read together then try to add one more the next day. If you want to get out more, look up 3 parks near you and choose one to go to this week. If you want therapy around parenting, listen to a podcast made by a therapist that aligns with how you want to raise your child. The words will sink in. Good parenting doesn't happen overnight, it's built brick by brick with plenty of stumbles and tears along the way. Today is hard, but every day is a new day that you get to make a difference in your child's life. Hug them more, tell them you love them. That's what they will remember. ❤️
I don't really have advice, but more here to sympathize. Parenting is hard and exhausting, even in ideal situations!! I have an amazing husband, but I always want a break from being a SAHM. I can pray for you!
