Yesterday......was such a bad day. Every time my daughter cried I would start crying. My one friend said I was having a "mommy melt-down". Whatever it was it sucked because I just was so upset and then my poor boyfriend I was being mean to him for no reason. But its like he wasnt understanding me when i was trying to say that something was wrong. Today i feel ok when i got up and she was crying i kinda felt like crying. I just feel odd and have been for a few days. Has this ever happened to any of you?
I helped raise my nephews from birth to 4 years old and when i would wake up in the middle of the night i would start to cry or when they would have their naps and start to cry i would as well. Its motherly instinct;-) I myself don't have children, but i do have step kids and even now when my 8 y/o starts getting upset and starts tearing little tears start coming down. She reassures not 1 not 2 but three times Are you okay MOM? no seriously mom are you? HAHA. I'll have to tell her i just want to make sure you are. Yes i am .
I'm sure all mums have days like that. Being a mum's a stressful job!! Maybe you just need a rest, maybe a bit of time to yourself. See if your boyfriend can look after bubs for a few hours and go do something you want to do, even if it's just read uninterrupted or sleep.
raising a child from what ive experienced is pretty emotional, but pretty worth it...and i used to get pretty choked up and teary eyed listening to my ex's son cry, its just heart wrenching sometimes, especially somedays, when the moons full or the cops pull us over... .... i didnt have any of the motherly hormones affecting me, but i still was a teen, and didnt have too much of a beard yet... so i knew days like that, and i saw her go thought so much more than i could have even imagined dealing with.... back when i was about 16 and in high school i had started dating a girl from my sophmore science class that just had her first child at 16, and it was a rough ride the whole time, the father was an asshole who never deviated from that description for a moment.....custody battles when you've got exams the same week, was pretty hectic. .i only dated her for about year but i do remember it to be the most incredibly rewarding experience of my life....and so worth all the trouble and dirty diapers, and shopping trips for formula and mashed pears... i wish best of luck to you and your baby girl.... and by the way, shes adorable... be excellent...
