Constantly feel like im parenting wrong

There is no wrong or right way to parent. If you love and cherish your baby then you are doing the right thing.
My son is content baby. He sleeps well and eats well. He usually wakes up in the morning at 4/5am for a feed and goes back to sleep straight away. Then when its night time he goes to sleep well at 9/10pm and wakes up at 4/5 or even 6am if i bath him at 9pm.
Bathing baby at night makes it better for sleep for you and for your baby plus listening to mozart, beethoven or rain sounf at night

Why is there an issue of you being a SAHM, and what would your child be missing out on?

If you mean the social interactions that children get in nursery, then I would tell them that before the age of 3, children do not really benefit in being in groups. In fact, a lot of the research shows that children benefit massively being at home with a parent/carer with whom they can bond and create a lifelong and healthy attachment.

I would tell whoever is critical of you being a SAHM to mind their f*****g business 🙂 xx

Sorry just to add in terms of what our week looks like.

We get up at about 7-7.30am.
We have breakfast, brush teeth, get ready for the day, etc.
We got out about 3-4 times a week (a wall, a bike ride, playground or play date etc)
On the days we stay in, we play something indoors or go out in the garden.
Then, I let them play independently and get on with my jobs.
Lunch is about 12pm.
Then I put the youngest for a nap. Sometimes the eldest takes a nap too.
After nap, there's more play and cooking for dinner.
Then it's dinner time.
Bathtime for the LOs and getting ready for bed (reading a book etc).
Bedtime is about 7-8pm.

I'm a SAHM and my eldest only recently stated nursery. He's over 3yo. Trust me when I say that he's one of the most confident and social kids in his class 🙂


Hope this helps xx

I never thought that I would become a sahm before my lo came, but now it's a totally different story. My priorities have changed and after a lot of stress about going back to work and leaving her too soon, I decided to quit. But, as it turns out, most people around me have been supportive of my decision. So I'm not saying quit your friends (assuming it's your friends saying these things?), but maybe it's worth thinking about the kind of people you have around if you don't feel like they can respect your decision? Don't get me wrong, I've had lots of unsolicited advice since I became a mother (I think it still comes with the territory of motherhood these days, as unfortunate and annoying as it is), which is why I'm not saying give up on your friends. But worth sticking up for what you believe in - you made the best decision for you and your child and nobody should make it for you, don't be afraid to defend it. I guarantee you - they have not put in the time into their advice that you have into this decision!
