Im hurt

I think my mom thinks I’m a bad mom & it brakes my heart because I try my best every single day. Yesterday my toddler was grumpy because he skipped his nap & I simply told him this is why you take a nap when mami takes you to nap & I start walking to the kitchen to get him milk & take him for a nap & my mom starts screaming at me to carry him saying why aren’t you caring him you still need to baby him he’s just a baby (he’s 18 months) then she starts crying 🙃 & im like what happened she says oh your way to rough with him???? So I’m like omg for her to really cry she really must think I’m a bad mom & I’ve been crying all night. Then this morning my grandma tells me that my mom said is anything happens to her she feels bad for my kids like huh???? I have a one year old and a 3 month old I am very overstimulated and overwhelmed but I’m not a bad mom I love my kids & I give them my all everyday I’m also battling mild ppd going to therapy & things like that I’m just hurt she really thinks this way she’s supposed to be my best friend & now I just don’t know am I over reacting? I’m super sensitive 🤦🏻‍♀️

You’re not overreacting, but we can be overstimulated and it be perceived as tough parenting. We have to understand both perspectives and maybe having a talk with her about everything clarify how you feel so she can better understand & help you.

Listen, a lot of people don’t like to hear it, but you were the only one that knows what’s best for your child. Take no feedback and all the others going Mimi Mimi ignore them. I guarantee you’re a great mom! And everyone has a different style of parenting. to be honest at 18 months a child should be a little bit independent, it prepares them for years. so don’t feel too bad. If you know that you’re not a bad mom then you’re not and if anyone says different tell them I’m doing it my way your way might’ve worked for you but not for me.

Your mom is dramatic and you need to know her overreaction stems from projection and has 0 to do with you. She doesn’t respect you as a parent and that’s a problem imo

No, you're not overreacting, but your mom is. A day at a time. Sometimes we can forget to be patient and lack compassion but that doesn't mean you bombard someone with being over emotional. Take it easy
