I feel empathy for her and I understand. Being a mom is so difficult and it takes the best and the worst out of us. I have a 4 year old.

I was behaving in a similar manner when I had 3 little ones. I want to encourage the caller that you can turn it around. My youngest is now 25. They are amazing people and we are all so close. A real turning point for me was to realize my main parenting idea was to NOT be like my mom....but I needed to instead focus on how I DID want to parent. I also had a season I only provided custodial care....I fed them and took care of absolute needs...otherwise I focused on getting me well emotionally... then I started getting up earlier to do my personal.... and I changed big time. Then I could pour into them. I wish you all the best in the journey that is ahead. It will be hard but so worth it!

We tend to idealize and fantasize about having perfect children who will bring us constant joy and fulfillment. Then along comes a little personality that doesn't match the picture in our head. Your feelings are normal. It's hard raising little humans to adulthood. If you're surrounding yourself with other mom's who give the impression that their children are just wonderful all the time, they're liars. When they go home and close the door, they're pulling their hair out just like you. You'll be ok...and so will your children.

I think guilt is the right feeling. My mother, who is now the best woman I know and the sun of my life, had postpartum depression after giving birth to me and it is no excuse. You have no right to emotionally or physically abuse your child. If you feel overpowered, you have to give her away away to relatives for a time or seek help immediately. Her behaviour will cause long term damage. And she is to be held accountable. I say this so people and women don’t get the idea to excuse their behaviour. A child is innocent. Always

Once baby #3 comes along, she will need a live in nanny to help with the kids. The likelihood of her having postpartum again is high. That stress may push her over the edge. This is not a safe situation for her or those kids. Postpartum depression is not something a woman can easily control and it can be deadly. She realizes it, her husband needs to realize it and get her help. It can be family, friend, professional.

I am sorry this woman is going through this, but I understand. My mom was in the same situation, single mother, worked, but never gave us the emotional attention or love we needed, didn't even go to my middle school graduation (no one did), never went to my soccer games (no one did), thus I grew up like this lady feeling worthless and treating anyone that needed me for anything, as an unwelcome burden, because that is how I was treated as a kid. My mom and I get a long now, but I don't have that solid love that I would have had she been a loving mom and actually showed us love in return when we were young, when she hugs me it doesn't feel the same as hugging someone who has shown caring and love, I barely hug her just like this caller explained about her daughter, it feels awkward because she RARELY hugged us as kids. Society needs to stop treating men and women who choose not to have kids, or who choose to not get married, like they are mentally defective. Not everyone wants, needs, or should have kids! I am enjoying a life without children, or honestly a husband, and have no regrets. If Mr. right comes along great, if not I'll continue on as a single person.....

You need consistent emotional support from others and you need to use your free time EFFICIENTLY for ONLY peaceful activities. But most of all, FORGIVE yourself. Constantly.

So I have pets, before anybody comes at me I’m fully aware pets aren’t kids. But I’m single work 60 hour weeks and live in an older house I’m constantly working on besides the normal cleaning, cooking and washing clothes that has to be done. I get extremely tired and feel overwhelmed. My 16 year old cat is blind, has kidney problems and throws up a lot. I also have a dog and both of my pets are very dependent on me. One thing that helps me tremendously is just holding my kitty for about 5 minutes every evening and telling her how special she is, what she has meant to my life and how much I love her. I do this too because I don’t know how long she’ll be around and I don’t want my last interaction with her to be yelling or me acting crazy. I spend 5 minutes sitting on the front porch with my dog just petting him and us watching traffic. So now I treasure these little moments. I think spending time in the evenings like this with her kids instead of in the mornings when things are so hectic would be better. You just do it whether you feel like it or not... but the positive emotions generally follow the actions.

@perezismaray 2 года назад

Valid. And just in case you don't know yet, there's prescription diets that you can get tailored for cats with kidney/urinary problems such as uroliths. Wet food is better than dry kibble for urinary cats. If your kitty is suffering with renal failure you can talk to your vet and ask about giving her subcutaneous fluids (usually lactated ringer's solution) at home. Your vet or vet tech would show you how to do it if your comfortable with the concept of giving fluids at home. It could buy you more time with your kitty and keep her comfortable for longer. I understand the stress of these things. Getting old sucks for everyone.

It's so interesting.. this subject. I had same ( absent parents ) and at age 23 I decided I didn't want children. I'm 30 now and seeing my sister and her 3 kids. My sister is repeating the same cycle my parents did. It's sad. But I'm really glad I chose to cut the chain of abuse. I refuse to be like my parents. I took a way different path then my family.

Laynie, I have been where you are and it was not until someone said these things to me that my life changed. You have a right to live. You have a right to feel. You have a right to love and be loved. You are not and accident and you have a right to be... When things become overwhelming take one step at a time and remind yourself that you have a right to achieve everything your heart desires. No matter what is going on, focus on one step at a time and before you know it you'll be on the other side of it all. God bless you and I send lots of hugs and love your way.

The four and six ages are HARD ages to juggle, especially when you have depression and/or anxiety. I know this, because I was her at one point. After my Mom disowned me, I became so resentful, I started resenting my kids. Thankfully I've made a lot of progress with my therapist over the last 10 years, and her Mom sounds so much like mine, you're not alone Mama.

@danielle_4477 25 дней назад

I feel like we live in a society now where parents are also expected to do the parent job solo without the help of family or friends, it takes a village and if you also have childhood trauma, it can easily become overwhelming and tiring if you feel you have no time to live for yourself as an adult. I think it's so easy to judge until it's you, hope this women finds healing and peace❤

@nallely__rodriguez Год назад

I resonate with this wholeheartedly.

@Gingy2002 2 года назад

Exactly why we as a society should not put down and shame women who do not want to be mothers, some of us just know we don't want to be and have the ability to think for ourselves and not give into societal pressures, some unfortunately give in, aren't equipped and don't even get help with children, even from the person that helped you create the kid in the first place in most cases. Women who choose not to be mothers should be encouraged and never stigmatized because real problems can arise. As a woman of a younger generation, social media really opens my eyes to a lot, and the countless times I've seen women saying they regret marriage and regret being a mother and not living THEIR lives for themselves would surprise a lot of people. In order to be a person that helps other people, you have to have what I call, your own happy reserve. A thing a lot of women are understanding that today and many are choosing a different path in life, I know I am, I've known since I was very young that motherhood was not for me.

@nicolebrittan948 Год назад

Society needs to stop glamourizing parenthood, because it's the furthest thing from glamorous! People need to realize that it's OK to not have kids and people need to Stop shaming people for choosing to be child free. There are far too many people who have kids that should NEVER have them. Think long and hard before you have kids!
