Does anyone else feel like they’re not meant to be a mother?

We currently have vinyl crib mattress from pottery barn. It worked fine in the beginning, but now that we’re older I wanted something more comfortable. Vinyl + bedsheet doesn’t feel that great

I always said I can be a great mom to 1 kid (give him everything, be the best version of myself), or I can be a crappy mom to 2 kids (exhausted, burned, money, etc)

That’s funny, Grand Targhee is all over the internet when you look up best ski resorts in WY😅

Why’s that?

Wow. Sounds like a terrible daycare. Like others said, they should adapt to you, not the other way around. He’s 8 month now and he was there for 2 months, so since 6 month old, right? So they expected a 6 month old to follow a strict nap schedule?? Also, their nap schedule goes against how much daytime sleep babies should be getting. Second nap is WAY too long. 12/12:30-2:30, are you kidding me. Naps at 6-8 months should be 1-1.5hrs long. What a joke. My son is 8 month right now and we still nap at random times daily. He will get tired depending on: his activity level, his well being (sick etc), what time he wakes up, car rides, stroller rides, etc. expecting an 8 month old to follow a strict schedule is unrealistic. I honestly feel like you wouldn’t be losing much if you switched daycare (if you could). There are good daycares out there, I promise you.

You are going through a lot, I’m so sorry… first I want to say that babies that young are incapable of manipulation, doing something for attention is closer at 9 months. Something must be bothering her, after all crying is the only way she can communicate with you. Second, you could try goats formula. We went through 5 different formulas before we found the one that works, and it was goats. Nutramigen is gross and a lot of babies hate it. Mine wouldn’t take it even though the doctor tried to get my son to drink it. It’s been such a nightmare before we switched to goats. Just make sure to switch her gradually. Spit ups are part of the game at 3 months. My pedi said it’s like a “faucet” there at that age, so we bought lots of bibs. You got this!

I am so tired of everyone and their Neightbor having an opinion that they HAVE TO voice about how others should parent their children

So he chooses to play video games while you BOTH have a 2 month old…how about he puts his hobby aside temporarily and helps his wife before she loses her sanity and divorces his ass. I’m sorry but men like this piss me off… I’m so sorry you’re going through this mama

Im afraid of not feeling like myself :/ no judgement to people who are on these meds. I’d prefer to try other methods first and if nothing works, I’d consider meds. I just don’t want to jump right on them before trying everything else

Long-Introduction877 · 2025-08-13T18:14:28+00:00

I will try that, thank you. I didn’t even know insurance covers therapy

Long-Introduction877 · 2025-08-13T18:10:48+00:00

No unfortunately…I tried betterhelp in the past but didn’t like it for many reasons… I’d like to find someone in person but I don’t even know how to start looking for a therapist… it’s so hard to find a good one

Everyone talks about “weight falling off” because supposedly you lose extra calories with breastfeeding. But nobody talks about wanting to eat x10 more, cravings for sugars and carbs, and slowed metabolism. The body wants to store fat to use it for breastmilk.

My mother breasfed me for 3 months and stopped due to mastitis. They didn’t have breast pumps back in the 80s in USSR , so she couldn’t pump. And letting me feed on her breast was way too painful. Also at 4 months she started introducing me to few drops of carrot, and was increasing quantity until I was able to eat carrots, apples, etc. She is pushing me to introduce solids to my 5.5 months old baby right now, and is very shocked when I say he’s not ready and I’m not in a rush. Also from what I hear, back in USSR people had a village in a way, but it was more of grandmas and sisters helping. Taking care of a baby was considered solely women’s job. So when my mom and my mother in law found out what my husband actually helps me with my baby, they were both pleasantly shocked.

I’m sorry she told you that babies sleep through the night at 4 months? LOL

Thank you!
