4 has been our toughest age. She’s so defiant, won’t listen and ignores us, and no consequences seem to affect her. There are times we have to raise our voice with her because she just will not respond and continues to ignore us when we’re trying to stop her from doing something. Most of the time she’ll get yelled a...

Does anyone else feel sad that they did not get the love that they felt they deserved? I’ve never said this out loud and feel weird for admitting it.

I feel like I've completely neglected myself since baby came along, most days I'm lucky if I get a shower.

I had my son 6 days ago and have been loving my son. I don’t regret becoming a mom but I can’t help but feel sad that I can’t leave the house by myself again or I can’t just make plans without having a plan for where my son will go. I can’t help but miss being me without being a mother. Is this postpartum depression?
