Struggling
Show your support
@Bethany it just sucks that people say "I'll be there Anytime you need help" but don't really mean it 😞 I've tried asking for help from a couple of people but they never can come through for me. The main person I know I could call is my grandma but everyone is always asking her for favors so I feel bad asking more of her when she's already doing so much. It is good advice to reach out first though, thank you! I know I just need to keep at it
I bet your grandma would love to help with her great grandchild. And people like that either love to help or have trouble saying no to people. I’m sure holding a baby is the most pleasant favor anyone can ask of her.
@Bethany thank you that puts me at ease ❤️
I feel you it’s the same for me mines has become a Velcro baby so i have to clean with her in a baby carrier
Unfortunately, people won’t call or offer help after the birth. Either they forget or get busy or think they could be intruding. Contact some of the people who where excited about baby. And either flat out ask for help. Or say “things are okay. Babies adorable but I’m so exhausted. I wish I could get some or do______. Hey would you mind sitting with baby while i______?” Or say your babies so active and fun now and you want to introduce baby to all your people. I have to do all the contacting people in my life. 🤷♀️. I’ve gone back to work and have asked people if they would visit on Sunday after my last shift of the week and help entertain my 7 month old twins just in case I pass out tired.
