Try not to beat yourself up, they’re might be some things we all need to work on. You can only take it one day at a time. Try looking at life from their perspective and think about what you needed at their age. I’m sure you’re doing great and you’re being to hard on yourself. It’ll get easier!
Being a mom doesn’t come with experience. There is no book on what Mom ‘s life really like. We are gonna screw up at times. And that’s OK but that’s how we learn. Some days are more overwhelming than others, at that time Try to rely on the people who can support you or Family, friends, partner, etc. And don’t be so tough on yourself. You are doing a great job and you should be proud of yourself. Now it’s time to sit down and talk to your partner about how you feel and how your partner can help.
Go back to the basics. And you have to take care of yourself. Even if that means doing less so you have some time or energy for yourself. Taking care of your mental and physical health is part of being a good mom. ♥️ Hang in there. It is hard! I always have to remember when it’s overwhelming, dial it back.
@Bonny we have "yours/mine" kids but both raised our kids. I feel we have a very great communication system. But some times I just feel so stuck in my head, I'm scared to bother anyone with my own feelings until it all just comes out. I just had a break down last night because my youngest favorite thing to do when he's upset is say I want to go live with grandma and that he doesn't love us. And that's what set me over the edge and I ended up getting this app to vent and or find help😅
Thank you all, reading all these comments last night had me in tears 😅😭
Is your husband also downing? These are his kids too, it's time for some real talk. You're not screwing up, you're fighting the good fight. It's not you, it really is hard. Lead with love, seek professional help when needed, and keep going. 🙂
