Does anyone ever get days where it all feels like too much? I love my LG with all my being but today I just don't want to be around anyone. I've snapped at my partner for just trying to help me, our dogs annoying me and I've shouted at him.
My LG has also been on and off crying all morning and I feel like I'm gonna have a breakdown. But then I feel guilty for feeling the way that I am, mum guilt goes hard.

Honestly that mum guilt is crazy too, i feel selfish for having these feelings but we need to make sure we’re in a good head space for our little ones!
You’re not alone in this 🤍
You’re not alone! I’ve felt this way a lot recently, not even having moments to go to the toilet quietly and alone. Mum guilt is so difficult. I have no answer for you. All I can share is sympathy and understanding and to tell you that you’re not wrong in how you feel. Sending hugs x
You aren't alone. I'm sure everyone feels this way. Some hide it some say it out loud. Just know you can do this! If you ever get a little time for yourself- do something for you. Read a book, cook your fav food, enjoy a cup of coffee, take a drive, get your nails or hair done. And keep a same time aside everyday for yourself so you dont snap as much the rest of the time and will look forward to enjoying the time you have yourself.
Thank you all so much 🥰 my partner has taken over for a little while so I can get some colouring done and unwind a bit ❤️
We got this mamas 🥰
This was me today! Sometimes unless we say to our partner we need time to ourselves they just don’t realise.
Don’t forget your doing an amazing job mumma 🥰
(I think my meltdown comes from being sexually frustrated 🤣)
All the time!! It’s not easy especially when they are unsettled. I try get outside on those days and go to family just for a change of environment or a park and walk. Whatever works to destress. I’ve only just realised how nice it was to leave my LO for few hours with family for me and my partner to go for lunch. Really works wonders.
On the days I especially can't take it, my boy feels it and whines, causes trouble, and really really tests me 😑 we both can't get over it. I won't be calm till he stops freaking out, and he won't be calm till I stop freaking out. I really need help in those moments to break out of it
@Shannon yeah I think they definitely don't realise sometimes that we need time to ourselves unless asked.
Hahah, i wish that was my reason 😭
@Frankie we still haven't given her to the family for an afternoon or anything like that. She has a heart problem so we're too worried to not be with her in case something happens 🤦🏼♀️ we will one day though cos 7 months of just us has been hard!
@Hannah completely agree, I get like this too and I feel so overwhelmed when she's like that and get so upset but then i feel bad for being like that around her. Definitely a hard situation 🤦🏼♀️
