I hate being a mom

I have a 20mo old rn and ever since i got pregnant at 19 i hated it, i thought things would get better after baby but it just got worse. I thought maybe i need more time but i feel the resentment building in me everyday. I feel so mislead, everyone around me was telling me how great being a parent is and i fell for it. I love my child but i can’t stand not having any freedom to be myself i don’t wanna deal with it anymore. I don’t wanna deal with the ridicule, the expectations, the babysitters, the money, or the constant of being wanted by tiny human. I can barely fulfill my own needs and now i feel overworked and done. What do i do?

If you really feel this way would someone in your family take your baby? Either permanent or temporary placement? Or you could think about adoption

Would you consider reaching out to a therapist or someone who may be able to help you through these feelings? If you still truly feel this way, it sounds like having someone else raise your baby may be the best option. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to talk 💕

Hey love! These comments are absolutely unhinged... I would love for you to reach out to me if you need to chat about anything 🤍

This sounds a lot like ppd. I felt like this a lot of the time especially in the earlier days. A big feeling of “is this really my life now” I think you really could benefit from talking to someone about it and finding help. Best of luck to you and your family
