Sometimes...

[UmmInayah]

Sometimes I get so sick of looking after her. Sometimes I wish I never had a baby. Sometimes I wish SO bad she could talk and tell me if she is in pain or needs something and sometimes I REALLY hate being alone with her when DH goes to work. Sometimes I just need REAL company instead of a crying baby who won't sleep or eat, the TV, and a computer.

Ugh I just want to cry!

i hear ya there, i've had moments like that
:hugs:
motherhood is the hardest job for the least pay in the known universe, dh's don;t know how good they have it, they get to knock off at least at some stage each day or night
:hair: makes me jealous of him sometimes

Big :hugs: marna, a bubs with reflux is not an easy job, as I have now learnt. If you feel like a chat pm anytime or if you have msn we can chat that way when you need to let off some steam. Otherwise if your in perth would be happy to catch up for a coffee.

Big, big, big :hugs:

:hugs: I feel like that all time! It sucks! I live on my own with the two kids cause dp lives 4hrs away and i really only get to see him every 2 or 3 weeks. Im surprised im not going crazy! I have a 4yr old and a 5mth old to talk to! Doesn't make for good convo. I hope it gets better for you and it should. Sometimes its best to let yourself have a really good cry, its surprising how good you will feel afterwards. :hugs:

Oh I could have written your post! Being a mum can be very lonely at times - that was something I wasn't prepared for, the sense of isolation.

What really, really helped me - apart from chatting on the hub of course! - was going along to playgroup - It's a lifesaver for me. I get to have a cuppa and chat to some grown ups!

I hope that your day improves:hugs:

Im very sorry and dont mean to offend anyone but i dont understand this at all :no: "motherhood is the hardest job for the least pay in the known universe":no: I think the pay is unreal for being a mother i never dreamed before i had ds that being a mother could be so rewarding, everyone has bad days yes but the good outweigh that bad soooo much!!Chins up ladies can only get better right?:)

You haven't offended me, that's for sure.

I don't think that any of us don't love and adore our kids, but I know for me personally, when DD was feeding constantly and didn't sleep for weeks on end (She's nearly 2 and still wakes up for a few hours each night) and cried and cried, it felt like there was no end in sight....especially with a DH working long hours and no family support.

I think that as mums, we need to support each other through the tough periods and celebrate each others joys.

i could have written that too :(

:fingerscrossed: we all feel better soon!

:hugs: to all! Thank you so much for the replies. It is good to hear that I am not the only one out there.

I do love my baby, I adore her so much especially when I wake up in the morning and she is lying next to me and the HUGE smile she gives me when she sees my face. And when she responds and wants to talk to me.

I know it is difficult to put her to sleep and to feed her, but you know what? She TOO wants to sleep and she TOO doesn't want to feel hungry, she is just too young to know how to do these things. She NEEDS me to help her get through it all and to teach her. I guess this is what I just have to keep telling myself.

She's my little angel :angel: And I know all mothers feel like this at some stage.

Thanks again for ALL the support.:hugs:

i think we all have days like these when we see no break in sight... the weight of being a constant carer 24/7 and having to be EVERYTHING for someone else can get us all down in those dark hours... my only adivce is drag her along to some 'grown up' conversation if u cant have a total break from bubs... keep ur chin up.

:hugs: :hugs:

[UmmInayah]

You know i think the thing that sucks most is that DH thinks that I should be able to clean the house etc when he is at work while she is asleep - but as in another post - i don't want to wake her while she is asleep because it is such a pain to put her back to sleep.

[blessedmummy]

tell me about it! i have those days too, when the girls go mad or something... but im SO glad i had them cause life wouldnt be the same without them!:D

[danik]

I pm-ed you

[BlakeNatsMum]

I reckon I am there with you today! I have a grizzly 4 month old, and she is driving me insane! Wanting constant attention, wont sleep during the day and I am generally getting very exhausted from it all.. On top of that I have a 3.5 year old to look after. DF is at work full time, so I dont have anyone here to talk to either, that is an adult....

I love my kids more than anything on this earth, but sometimes I would dearly love an hour or so break!..

[missmaisy]

hi Marna,hang in there!I used to feel that like with my first baby sometimes (....and second......and third!). You just do what ever it is you have to to get through the day!It's not easy,and the little buggers are lucky they give those gummy little smiles in the morning that mealts your heart(even if it is at 5 in the morning!!!!!)Keep your chin up-you're not alone by any streatch of the imagination!

[greengables]

I HATED the first 3 months. (There were moments of happiness, enjoyment etc)...but really the first 3 months with a newborn (Esp. after being in a busy rewarding career) was hellish!

The crying, the feeding, the changing. It was so demanding and for what felt like only small snippets of reward.

However - I just want to say - after about the 3-4 month mark things just got easier and better. Now my daughter is 21months old and it is really fun! Still not an easy job, but SO much easier than when she was born!!

I'm glad I know this now - with another baby v soon on the way. I will keep telling myself: 'it's early days yet...' and 'it will get better!'
