Bad mother

Today I lost it. She cried and cried all morning, we went out for the day she was fine. Got home and cried and cried and cried.
It got too much, I walked out for a breather. Came back in and lost my shit. I didn’t shout, I didn’t become aggressive but I did throw a punnet of berries which scared her
Queue me falling apart because I’ve scared my own daughter. What kind of mother am I for scaring my baby girl. I feel beyond disgusted with myself.
I don’t even know why I’m writing this. I guess a chance to say it out loud? I hugged her so tight at bedtime but I’m still so cross with myself

YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOTHER ❤️
My daughter used to cry so much when she was a baby , I would spend more time outdoor then at home just so she wouldn't cry.
All moms have been in the same situation as some point in their journey.
Be kind to yourself 🌹

We're all only human. My mum says to always apologise to your children when you make a mistake (which will happen to us all), that's all you can do. New start tomorrow xx

There’s a reason they use children screaming and crying as an interrogation tactic. It’s bloody intense!
I’m not sure how old your daughter is, but I doubt she’s going to remember that time you lobbed strawberries across the room.
It certainly doesn’t make you a bad mum.

Girl I’ve been there. My little one had stomach issues from birth so she had days where if she wasn’t asleep she was shrieking. I wanted to put her on the floor and just leave the house.
I screamed at her once and immediately started weeping because I felt like I was the worst mom in the world because I am supposed to be able to make her feel better and I’m failing.

Take some deep breaths. You got this momma!

Is a rockit worth it?

Baby will immediately wake up as soon as I stop walking/moving the pram. Does the rockit really work? Just want some opinions as they’re so expensive!

I’m not ok…

I’m one week postpartum and I’m not ok.
I’ve been crying for days now.
I have so much on my plate rn.
I’m just mentally not ok. I wanna do what’s best for my boys but it seems like to everyone else I’m not doing enough. I feel guilty cuz my twins are in NICU. I’m on leave from my job with no pay. I know my house is a mess since I was in the hospital for almost 3 months. Trying to find somewhere to live to as there is no space in my apartment anymore. Trying to find a work from home job so I can be with my babies. I also have BPD which is not helping at all…
I just…
I’m just not ok and just keep it to myself.

Does your spouse or partner…

Hi. So this might sound dumb to some, idk. I’m not here to argue.
Anyways, my partner got me a sex toy, he said it’s an early Mother’s Day present. He has always been against me having toys, in fact he broke one! So he said this is because you think I broke yours.
So me being shocked figured there was more to the story. I asked him what he got. First answer he said nothing, then I asked him again, he said he got something. So once we got back to the house I was curious. It was what I think is a pocket p.
So it could flip to a vagina or a butthole. Anyways, the reviews I read on them says they feel real. Obviously I’m not a guy so I’m not 100% sure if it does or not to a guy. Anyways, I’m wondering if we will have less sex now since he’s content doing things to himself? No I’m not trying to control his masterbation, I’m trying to figure out if my life will be affected sexual wise by his choices. Been with him over 5 years so I’m sure it does feel amazing to him.

Anyone have any experience dealing with this type of thing?

Breastfeeding or Bottle

Im only 17 weeks pregnant (first baby) and just come back from seeing the midwife. Shes given me loads of booklets and information on breastfeeding and talked about it alot in our catch-up.

I can see the health benefits for baby & me, but i still dont feel its something i want to do? They made me feel like if i dont breastfeed i wont bond with my baby and like i’m going to be a bad mum right from the start!

How many of you have bottle fed formula from birth and do you have any reassurance this is perfectly ok to do?!
