Monster

I let my 7month old scream inconsolably for 20mins because I just couldn’t cope with him anymore 😭😭😭😭 i’m a monster, and I hate myself. He deserves so much better 😭😭😭😭

Please don't do that to yourself. You're not a monster. You're a great mum, baby is 7 months old. Being a mum is hard, and we don't get the credit we deserve. Have you spoken to your partner, family, friends, or a HV or GP about struggling? There is help out there if you need it. Stay strong. It was 20 minutes, and baby is fine.

You are doing great, how much strenggt you have to walk out of overstimulating situation and did not get angry to baby. Its so hard to do❤️ baby will live you anyway, don't be that hard on yourself ❤️

That’s the exact thing that we’re told to do when we’re struggling. You put him down in a safe place while you gathered yourself. You’re not a monster, babies and children can be overstimulating a lot of the time! Have you got anyone that can look after him for a couple of hours so you can do something for yourself?

@Jenny i did an Econsult to my gp because i am struggling and perhaps i am suffering with pnd. It took a lot to ask for help and they never even got back to me 🤷‍♀️😞 i feel like ive traumatised him.…today he didnt seem as cuddly or smiley with me 😭

@Santa i fid get angry, and i shouted at him 😭 and 20mins is too long! 😭

It's fine, you baby will be fine but you have to be too. Baby feels your emotions so because you feel guilty baby didn't want to coudle as much. You did what you did, move on and try to be better next time. You love your baby and that all that matters ❤️ I've had moments like this too, you just need to forgive yourself 🥰
