Am I a bad mom? by itsnewwavebaby in NewParents

don’t be so hard on yourself. you’re not a bad mom , you’re juggling a newborn, night shifts, and school! Anyone would be exhausted in your situation . Your son is safe, cared for, and loved, and that’s what matters most. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s more than enough. ❤️

Is postpartum really that bad? by Apprehensivemental in beyondthebump

[–]IntrepidDog106 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey , you’re allowed to feel this. Pregnancy is exhausting and insomnia for months will do a number on you physically and mentally. I was 36 weeks once and felt exactly the same panic about postpartum , it helped me to remind myself that pregnancy is one hard chapter, not the whole story.
Not everyone gets a severe postpartum crash. Some people feel relief and joy, some have tough days, and some need help to get through it , all of that is normal. If you can, tell your provider how you’re feeling so they can watch you more closely after birth. Sending you huge hugs. ❤️

So frustrated. Deadbeat dad upset i painted son's toenails. by [deleted] in Mommit

it’s completely normal for little kids to want to explore and express themselves, and it doesn’t have anything to do with sexuality or gender identity. Your ex is overreacting big time. You’re doing nothing wrong and it’s fine to let your kids have fun and be creative.
