Even though I’m with my husband sometimes it feels like I’m on my own. And it’s hard but little by little. Here where I’m from at the public libraries they have activities every day and they are totally free. You can check the library’s in your location. You can also play pretend with them as helping you with little things which when they are little they really enjoy it and at the same time you’re teaching them . Sometimes kids now they complain about everything and don’t help around or appreciate their parents hard work.

It sounds like your already on the right path. You know what you don't want to be like and your looking to be better, that's worth more than you realise. I very much doubt you are a bad parent. There's always room to learn though because everyone parents differently. I know some of the stuff I do to cope isn't the best way but it gives me a tiny break when I need it and it doesn't hurt them. I'd just keep doing what you're doing and look to your kids for the happiness not your family because your there role model and they adore you
Hello, I completely understand you . I’m 22 year old and first time mom . I have a one and eight month old daughter. I got pregnant when I was 20 and I really didn’t had any support from my family . I was only judge and I always had them getting on me. But I did had my husband and his family . But i used to take care of seven kids when I was 15 and i thought I had practice and most likely it would be the same as having a child of my own. But I really had difficulty understanding my daughter as she was staring to communicate with me. But you can always teach them how to ask you for stuff , how to be patient specially. For example my daughter used to cry , yell or even take her shoes off and throw them. I started teaching her to ask for things and also to be patient as “ can you wait for mom “ , “ can you give me a second and mom will be right with you”. And now she’s behaving better.
