I get a lot more frustrated than I would like as well, I think its because at bedtime we are totally burnt out and used up all our patience

Bedtime is a nightmare for me and has been since she was born , I was always quite an angry person before she was born and that has settled but this postpartum rage seems never ending , it’s so bad for me at this point I don’t know what to do anymore I’ve tried getting help from doctors but I had no response or follow up I have since moved and changed doctors so may try again but I don’t want to be stuck on meds because I won’t wake up to her , feel in a constant loop

Ughh I have such bad mum rage sometimes and I get soooo frustrated it’s unreal 😭😭 especially at night but like @CeeCee said it’s cos we’re burnt out and lost all patience by that point

I get it too and I hate it. I always feel so guilty but when I'm tired and he won't settle in the middle of the night I lose all patience :( I always have to leave him for a few minutes so I can calm down

I have never had much patience and I struggled with this. Somehow I have managed to have more patience as time has gone on though! It is so hard but I know winding myself up just makes me feel even worse and gets me nowhere. Our baby has never slept well either, it is a killer 🫠

Thank you for validating! We're im not a bad mom just tired and touched out xx
