Do you find being a mother so hard on the daily

Mine are 7 months and 3.5. Pre shchooler is my biggest stress I’ve never known anything like it. She’s relentless and it’s like being bullied 😂 7 months is a stage 5 clinger and cries when I do anything except holding her. Anyway I spend most my days in high levels of stress so much I can feel it in my chest. Partners like don’t understand why your so stressed!

Husband and I argue all the time since having a baby

FTM and been married for 4 years. Lately, my husband and I are arguing ALOT. And for the whole 4 years of marriage we NEVER argued. Disagreements here and there but nothing that made us sleep angry. He was so kind and patient with me during postpartum but ever since the baby became one years old, it’s been BRUTAL. Every conversation turns into an argument and it’s as if we are speaking different languages. I try to communicate and use all those tactics like not blaming him for anything and saying “I feel like..xyz happens” instead of “ you always do ..xyz” but it doesn’t work. Anyone else experience this after having a baby? Or have any advice on what I can do?? I hate it here 😭

Partner getting angry over baby not settling

My baby is 12 weeks old and has always been a good sleeper, we’ve never really had many issues with her sleep. But this morning she has been so fussy and crying all morning from 3am till now (7am) but she’s finally settled. I’m 99% sure she has trapped wind or just has a sore tummy from not pooping for about 24hrs now. ANYWAYS. At about 4:30am my partner woke up and tried to settle her, obviously it didn’t work, he then had the nerve to shout at the baby telling her to “sort herself out”. I had to try my hardest not to snap but I told him to not dare talk to her like that as it’s not her fault she’s upset, my girl loves her sleep and I know that’s what she’d rather be doing than screaming her head off. The extra annoying part is I have never woken him up for help through the night when she’s fussy, I’m always in another room with her until I know she’s definitely settled, he always tells me before he goes to bed “wake me up if you need me” but I never do, and now I guess I know why.

It’s just annoyed me how I deal with her whenever she’s upset 24/7, he’s at work 6am-4/5pm all week and even weekends some days, not to mention the sports he does 3 days a week and the times his friends ask him to go out. The times he does see her she’s happy. He hasn’t had her 1:1 since she was about 6 weeks old if not earlier than that. Everytime I offer him to feed her a bottle of expressed milk he has an excuse, whenever I try to get him to even just spend time with her he has an excuse. But because he doesn’t spend enough time with her he doesn’t recognise her different cues for what she needs and then he gets frustrated when he can’t settle her. It’s a vicious cycle.

But the short of the rant is, I’m so angry that he had the nerve to shout at the baby for crying when he’d only been awake 30 minutes and she was clearly in some kind of pain. Instead of trying to be her comfort person and her safe space he decided no, I’ll shout at her, which in turn scared her and upset her more.

I’ve never been so angry. How would anyone else approach this situation?

17 months is HARD

can someone please tell I’m not alone in feeling like the 17 month old mark is so hard or am I just going crazy.
On lack of sleep still aswell as he isn’t sleeping through, everyday is a challenge and sometimes I find myself losing my patience by early evening because the constant tantrums, nothings ever right, one second somethings fun the literal next second it’s the worst idea ever and he screams over nothing.
He can’t tell me with words what it is he wants so this makes him frustrated and rightly so. But I’m just finding this whole age range so so difficult and challenging

Okay am I crazy or is this spooky?? My daughter keeps saying her imaginary friend is her daughter

So ever since I was a little girl, I’ve known I was going to have a daughter. When I got pregnant, I knew immediately I was going to have a girl. My daughter even looks like the little girl I imagined. I have a medical condition so I’m lucky to have her and wont have any more kids.

Over the last few months, my daughter has been talking to an imaginary friend and she calls this imaginary friend her daughter. Example: today she said “stop, stay in the shade, wait for me her” then she got the sun screen and said to me “I’ve just got to put this on my daughter so she can play in the sun” then they played outside for a while.

Am I crazy or is she having a premonition of her future kid???
