Feeling guilty
Show your support
It is but you have to work on unwinding yourself. I'm dealing with the same myself but as the mamas going through this we have to take time to ourselves to feel better so we can do what we need to so we can take care of our babies also. If your not taking care of yourself you will struggle to take care of them in exchange.
I’ve been struggling for awhile my husband didn’t understand that I needed time out he thought that I just wanted to get away from them cause I didn’t wanna be near them but everything got to much
Trust me mama, I get it. My husband was the same way until I had finally exploded at him. I felt horrible about it but our baby is the definition of a colicky and velcro baby and she has been basically since she was born.
I was exploding at him all the time we have a 3 yr old and a 1yr old our 1 yr old is a complete mummy’s boy won’t let me out of his sight he’s always hanging off me Our 3 yr old is going through a phase of spitting making messes this morning he got peanut butter and put it all over his toys then he gets his drink and pours it everywhere
It is normal. Mum guilt is a real thing. You need to fill your cup before you fill others.
Nope, no need to feel guilty. As women, we’re taught to feel guilty if we try to do anything for ourselves. Don’t be ashamed. You deserve the best❤️
Ahh I feel you on this. I have a 1 year old and currently pregnant with my second and the fact you have two little ones, that is a lot on you and truly I say maybe think about putting your 3year old in nursery so you have just 1 to focus on or if you need have them both in it and just have a bit of a break for yourself when they are there. We all need a break now and then and it is hard with your constantly with them a lot. It’s draining and exhausting. But you’re doing good. 🙂💕
My 3yr old off to 3yr old kinder next year he will be going 3 days a week which will be good It’s very draining when they both have so much energy and it’s hard because my husband doesn’t understand he works 5 days a week and I’m a stay at home mum
Ahh I hear ya. That’s something then. I say you should talk to your husband, say how your feeling and maybe he should step up abit more and help you with it as it is his kids too. He should want to take some load off it at times, so you have that time to do something for yourself also.
He thinks I’m nagging him to do stuff when I’m exhausted today was a bad day for me but he didn’t understand it he wanted me to talk to him about it I did and he said it’s all getting to you I said yeah it is
Sorry to hear. Guys won’t understand these things.
It’s normal, because mom guilt can be a huge part of ppd. If it helps, i always remind myself of the airplane metaphor: when oxygen masks drop on an airplane, you are instructed to put yours on first before you help someone else with theirs. You can’t help them if you can’t breathe. This is you putting on your air mask. Let yourself breathe.
