Don’t want to be a mother anymore

My LO is nearly 9 months old and the last few weeks have just took a huge toll on me. I’ve struggled with bonding and feeling like a parent throughout. He adores his grandparents, I live with my mother still & I just feel like they would do a much better job than me. I love my LO but just feel like they would be better off with someone else & I am just feeling overwhelmed and done with being a parent. Does anyone else feel like this

I’m a first time mom to twin boys .. I feel this way more often than not .. it’s a lot but I know they were sent to me for a reason and all the struggles will soon have a higher purpose seek therapy .. stick to a routine it will get better

Sorry you feel that way. The only way you can deal with it is, try take some time for yourself, self care is important. Have a day where your mum or someone can watch over your little one just for a few hours take some time and maybe do something nice. Then come back and you will feel better. 😊 xo

The first year is pretty rough and difficult. People/social media often paint a picture of how we should feel as “new parents” and honestly it’s quite an adjustment. So that being said don’t be hard on yourself. There’s no one more qualified than you for your baby no matter how other people seem to have connected with him. He was made for you and you for him! It will get better. Don’t suffer in silence get help and do what you need to carry on. It feels lonely but you’re not alone in how you feel. You won’t be the first mum or the last to say this ❤️ but don’t make it your truth because it’s not true. Every time you think something like this give yourself reasons why it’s not true. I bet he cuddles you, I bet he cries for you, I bet he smiles at you. He loves you more than you know he just can’t say it xxx

Definitely went through this exact thing. My LO is 14 months now, but let me tell you it was a struggle to get here. I’m a single parent after her trash father abandoned us, but luckily I had and still have family and friends in my corner. For about almost a month, I felt like I should just give my kid up. I felt like I was doing everything wrong and I felt like a failure as a parent. But you push through! It’s way easier said than done, but every day you wake up, knowing you’re there to be better for your kid and yourself. I know nine months already seems like it’s doing so much but I’m gonna be honest it will get easier…. then it will get harder and there will be happiness and crazy amounts of joy and then chaos. It will be up and down, but as they get older, you get the hang of it. And you understand them a little better even when you think you don’t. YOU GOT THIS MAMA!

I feel this way sometimes too! It’s all just very overwhelming!
