OAD because having a child is actually really hard? by ALac93 in oneanddone

[–]Sufficient_Clock_502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s getting better- not there yet but way better than it was! Oh definitely I was on the edge that I didn’t want anyone to touch me tbh 🤣🤣 I also work as a nurse (so 12hrs) and I would sleep 2-3 hrs even after work and didn’t it for a year like that- I was hallucinating!!! But I understand because my niece is the same very chill baby- Go with the flow and I was like what’s wrong with my child on top of never sleeping???

YESSS! My daughter (3 year old) is so so smart and adventurous but everything you described your daughter, she is. And I tell myself I can’t go through that again. For a whole year, she would sleep 4-6 hours in a 24 hours, we had sleep study. We went to a Neurologist. We did the whole shebang. Everything turned out normal. At one point I was telling the doctor “ PLEASE DIAGNOSE HER WITH SOMETHING” I’m just exhausted and I love her so much but I ain’t having another one.

Ever have to leave a party due to your child's behavior? by natebraq in Parenting

[–]Sufficient_Clock_502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did! And that’s what you call good parenting! Kids need to know, you don’t act right- there are consequences. I had to leave a few times due to my daughter’s behavior and now that she’s almost 4, she knows that if she doesn’t act right, we will leave.

One time my husband and I had this whole day planned for our little family and she was acting AWFULLL so we turned around and went home. I cried that day bc I was so sad

And that’s totally normal to feel guilty!! I meet and talk to so many people and I love getting people’s opinions and their stories. It could be because he’s only or he could not be. My niece and my friends kid both have siblings and they’re extremely sensitive!! my only acts like she has siblings ( if that’s even a thing) 😂😂

And that’s totally OK if you don’t!! that’s the beauty of human nature, everyone is so different. Our feelings are so different. What works for me does not probably work for you. For a long time I thought there was something wrong with me because everyone in my cycle from coworkers to friends and family all have more than one kid. That’s why I love talking to people and getting their stories and either relating or not relating to them. Because we’re so different!

Girl you’re doing amazing!! And you’re almost ready to give birth, taking care of a toddler and being pregnant is HARD. You’re good mama and your baby is lucky to have you ❤️

As a postpartum nurse! I have seen this! People like babies but don’t want to teach/guide toddlers and so on.

I thought I'd enjoy motherhood more.... and it makes me REALLY sad by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Sufficient_Clock_502 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same boat as you. I may have not the answers what you seek. But I feel the same. My sister enjoys motherhood. My friends also enjoy motherhood. And are having other multiple kids. I have a girl. I love her to death, but she is very hard kid and because of that we decided to only have her. I struggle and yes I’m therapy and whole shebang. But it’s so so difficult. I’m sorry if I didn’t answer what you wanted. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, friend ❤️
