@Karime yea default or only parent. I’m a single parent, separated since baby was less than 2m old, she’s 2, ex husband has not been around at all, making a mess of his life, haven’t seen him since last December, I have 100% custody, recently filed for divorce, work full time an insane job, have no family in state to help. They visit& their highest priority is taking pics & videos of my daughter & being entertained 🥴 my mom did help me fold laundry today though technically 🥴
@Karime it’s just so frustrating. My daughter needs a chill pill and my family needs UPpers to step UP. It’s not their job but come on 😭😭
@Karime she’s also just extra excited when we have visitors 🥲 (sorry I’m venting at you 😅 thanks for your response though)
I lose my shit every time I have to put my child in the car seat. My neighbors probably hate me but shit happens That’s the only time I lose my patience because it’s every friggan time we have to get in the car, he climbs out or folds his arms so I can’t buckle him. He doesn’t do it for his dad. Only me. So yeah, I flip out sometimes. The fact you have remorse is a good thing and speaks volumes that you’re good mom. It happens. Nobody is perfect 🫶🏻💜🩷
@Christina🤱🏼🍂☕️♈️ 🙏🏾 thank you. I hate the feeling of frustration and not being able to control my reactions or emotions all of the time. I guess it is normal. So much pressure on us moms 😭 this sucks
Sounds like a lot all at once. I'm sorry. I get how that goes with family. Hoping things start improving for you girl! Your baby won't even remember it
I really wouldn't feel bad. You are parenting and you're doing your best. People can think whatever they want, it's not their child! Don't worry about it, love!
Girl, I still feel bad thinking about times when I yelled badly at my toddler 🥲 we try our best to be patient but we are human. Forgive yourself and just focus on a new day and keep trying your best. Pray about it, it does get better. Hugs 🫂
People expect us to be superior but we’re not. We’re human just like our babies. We are allowed to feel our emotions just like they are. I have trauma from my childhood that I’m learning to work through and some days I’m just overstimulated and overwhelmed and little things like that just take us to the edge. It’s ok🫶🏻
My eldest who is now 20 used to drive me insane on a daily basis, I was 17 when i had him, he has autism and ADHD. He would never listen always do the opposite of what i said he would run off at every opportunity, he would throw things break things scream shout hit bite. It was bad and yes I lost my shit often my age didnt help, i wasnt very understanding and i was inpatient. But he's ok he survived i survived, it's just in that moment you're stressed over stimulated and possibly sleep deprived too. It doesnt last forever snuggle your baby and move on. We all loose it at times try not to feel to bad, you've owned it. Xx
@Christina🤱🏼🍂☕️♈️ 🙏🏾 same. Even more pressure trying to make sure her childhood is not like mine ☹️
@Jenny 🙏🏾
It won’t be because you’re aware of it. Unfortunately my son’s is just like his dad’s so far and I hate it. I’m trying to change it but it’s hard
@Christina🤱🏼🍂☕️♈️ I think it might have a lot more similarities to mine than I wanted :-( and yea that sucks I hope my daughter is nothing like how my ex husband ultimately became smh 😭

I have the sweetest little boy ever. His dad grew up abused and being yelled at constantly. That’s all he does to our son. Yells and yells. That’s why I do my best not to. I’m Also teaching my son his emotions where as his dad is toxic and says “grow up. Boys don’t cry” Etc soo that’s where it’s hard. He’s being raised two completely different ways.
If it's any consolation it's a lose lose scenario. When I don't discipline or yell, my family tells me that I'm soft and don't know how to parent. 🤷🏾♀️
Definitely it's not easy. Specially when most of us moms are the default parent for everything. We get overwhelmed and it's okay that it happened. Your not a bad mom for it. Apologize to your baby and give yourself grace. Sucks when your family judges you and it doesn't feel good but shit happens. Your doing a great job. Hang in there momma ❤️
