AITA

I don’t think you meant this in a negative way, but I think the wording comes across a little mom-shamey. Having PPD, struggling with your marriage, or admitting that motherhood is hard doesn’t mean someone has a “bad outlook on being a mom.” You can absolutely love your baby and love being a mom while still struggling. It’s wonderful that your experience has been so positive, but listing all the ways you haven’t struggled in comparison to the other moms makes it sound a little like you view their experiences as something negative. You might actually connect with them more than you think if you stopped looking at the differences as reasons to keep your distance. We're all just out here doing our best. ❤️

We all have different experiences and that's totally ok 🩷 I'm sorry you feel like you need to keep your distance. Your feelings and experiences are also valid and matter even though they may differ from someone else's. If you ever wanna chat feel free to message me.

Hi there👋🏼 I don’t think you should feel bad about that but I assume your very emphatic and I get that 🥰 excuse my english its 4am and its my second language haha anyways I have had a very similar experience I think 😊 if you‘d like to chat just send me a dm 😇
Ps: how amazing for you that everything’s going so well! 😍🥰

Maybe its an online thing where ppl mostly post when they look for advice from the crowd, have you tried in person?

I kinda get what you mean I found myself in a similar group chat and I found it very hard to connect or even respond because I could not relate. I also breastfeed and co-sleep and it’s a life saver!! I wouldn’t get any sleep anyway other way. I won’t say I haven’t experienced any sadness because being a mom can be lonely sometimes but overall my experience has been great.

Wow you are doing amazing! Why do you feel that people will be against you? There’s many mamas out there just like you. Me for example. I cosleep as well especially in the morning but I do get anxiety so I always put my bbabies back in bassinet. I stay up all night with my kids since i don’t like to force sleep on nobody.. I would feel guilty. My partner oppose and says I need to put them on schedule knowing I’m too mentally drained to. It’s really hard being a mother. I’m pregnant while taking care of 2 toddlers.

Are you only looking for friends who have the exact same experiences as you?
