One overstimulated mama

I just yelled at my daughter and I feel so awful now that she’s asleep. I’m SO overstimulated right now and I think that’s where it came from😫. I have no family and friends here where we live and her dad doesn’t help with her at all. I told her we would practice drawing and tracing tonight which I ALWAYS do what I say I’m going to do…but I got to a point to where I’m so very tired. I’m literally so depressed my entire day was spent making her happy and playing with her that I forgot all about myself, and I just needed a moment. So I told her to let’s just hold off on tracing tomorrow because mommy’s very tired. She started crying…and I know she doesn’t get it but I literally yelled “OKAYYYY ILL DO IT!” I literally had to walk away from her and get some space because this mama is tired. 😫😫 Parenthood is SO hard and I’m losing myself in the process. I just want friends I feel So alone in this journey.

Currently 8 months pregnant, and everything hurts. I have a 2yr old that runs me ragged and dad doesn't help me either. So I get it, I feel so awful when I lose patience with him. I try to apologize, but I know the damage is done. You are not alone mama

Been there recently. Deep breathe. Its normal and you are a good mom. I am not a drinker and still nursing at 16 months. So it's hard to find time to have adult time. So mom called me over and made me mudslides just to have some fun. Wasn't enough to even get buzzed. But got me to feel like I was my own person and gave me a good sized break. It helped.

Two things are true. You are a good mom and you are having a hard time. I have read a lot of amazing parenting books and I STILL lose my sh@t. We are human. Just know You are not alone and it’s normal.

You are human , take a deep breath , remember to unclench your jaw …. Count to 10 , take yourself away for a minute to gather your thoughts - I’ve had 3 kids at different times in my life ( my oldest I had when I was 19 - he’s turning 18 this year, my daughter I had when I was 23 l- she’s turning 14 this year, my youngest is turning 2 this year I had him at 35) Being a mum in my 30’s is the hardest one yet You are winning at life!!! Here if you need anything remember deep breaths x

You're only human. We all have those days 🩷
