Am I overreacting?

I am a part of a mom group that it's called stay at home moms unfiltered. I posted about how I was tired of my baby yelling at me and they assumed it was me saying I'm tired of my baby. If I was why is that wrong? Being tired of them and loving them are two different things. I wouldn't normally share that but this is a supposedly unfiltered group....I don't get it.

You can be tired of your kids and still love them. You’re fine mom. People are judgmental.

My ex mother in-law literally told me, "I love my son, but geez, I do Not like the man he's become!"
Same thing different stage of life.
I love my stepdaughter to death, I cried when she asked if she could call me mom. But sweet Jesus is she a spoiled brat sometimes! 😅
It's like every one else in the family lets her do whatever, and walk all over them, (she's been the only grand kid for 9 years) but he father and I have rules and expect better of her bc she's almost 10.
I'd die for that little girl but she's got some SAS. 😂

I feel it's pretty normal to sometimes be tired of your child. You still love them, but kids can be a huge handful sometimes. I dont think you said anything wrong.

Head smacking

My 13 month old has started smacking himself on the head. It’s usually when he’s frustrated but he’s never done it before. Anyone else’s doing this and any possible idea why?!

Does it get easier?

My husband is high functioning Asperger’s and everytime our LO cries, he gets overwhelmed and can never attend to her - meaning I have to rush and come back home or run to her.

He shuts down and stares rather than call my help to stop it getting to this point.

I appreciate he thinks he’s giving me a break but makes it worse as I now have to regulate them both 🫠

Any tips as I just want to enjoy 5 mins to myself without having to always jump in because the times I show him my tricks - he’d rather play video games or be on his phone!

He is also having difficulty bonding due to postpartum depression

He keeps saying when she’s older it’ll help him as “what does she have to cry about, you do everything for her”😳 he forgets she’s a baby at times and natural to cry (trauma from his parents)

Walking

My 16 month old has just started confidently walking recently and I’ve noticed that he walks on the insides of his feet but on his right foot it’s much more noticeable like his ankle rolls in more.

Is that just normal when little ones first start walking and as they get more confident they flatten out their foot more or should I take him to see someone about about it?

Have I been going through postpartum

I’ve always assumed that I haven’t gone through postpartum because I haven’t had any super emotional experiences, at least not different from moments I’ve had pre-baby😂. My boyfriend is very helpful towards me with things I (heavy emphasis on I) need, snacks, making sure I have what I need for the house/baby, but he doesn’t help with diapers or feeding/bathing our son. He doesn’t brush his teeth or change his clothes and I’ve been understanding because he works and I’m always home with the baby. It’s very tiring though and I feel like I’m never off the clock. I wouldn’t say it makes me sad but I’ve always kind of felt defeated in that aspect because when we talk about it he says he’ll help out more but I don’t think he knows how to truly help me with the baby in ways that will be relieving for me. It makes me like very angry but because I’m not confrontational I’ll normally just swallow it and let it go. Idk if this could be a form of postpartum or just trails and tribulations of first time parents, what yall think?
