What's bothering your today?

My mom is making make me feel like an inadequate mother. She constantly criticizes everything I do with the baby and tells me that I'm pumping her with too many medications (giving her reflux meds). She is adamant that no baby needs medications until they're older than one year. She also criticizes the baby's hair or how she's dressed when I FaceTime her. However, she is not the one here every day feeding the baby while she cries and squirms with every feed. See her struggle but yet be hungry is so hard.
So I guess my WTF Wednesday is - motherhood is tough and when other people criticize you and make u feel like u don't know what ur doing,it can be harder!
But I know I'm doing my best in raising my kid and I'll make mistakes ... Sure .. But she's the love of my life and no one can do it better !
Not sure if that's what wtf Wednesday's are about ...lol. ... But there!

My 7 week old has a cold. Nothing breaks,my heart more than my lil babe having a coughing fit and then look up at me and half smile like it's ok mom. I just want to make him better.

My WTF is PP emotions. LO is 7.5 weeks and it's gotten tough this week. It's better the last two days but gah it's rough. I'm having some pretty rough self image issues and I'm trying to make myself feel better and SO is helping but I'm so over feeling this way.

My hubby doesnt want to take the baby twice a week for an hour so i can go to the gym! Ive got 30 pounds to lose and its not going to come off on its own! I just want my body back!

WTF baby weight. I hoped my body would be all about losing weight from breastfeeding alone this time. But no. Scale isn't budging. Guess I'm going to have to watch what I eat (within reason to keep my supply up) and up the exercise.

Having to be at everyones beckoning whim with DS for the Holidays. EVERYONE wants to go everywhere with him. The mall, family outtings, to see Santa, Christmas lights...I feel pulled in a million directions when all I'd really like are few evenings just alone with my little family in front of the Christmas tree watching movies. I feel like he gets treated like some sort of prop. My MIL will buy him outfits and insists he wear them to certain places....it gets old. Quick. /end rant

I'm with you in this. LO is 12 weeks. I was totally fine until this week and now I am a wreck and don't even know what's wrong half the time.

Wtf I've been on an elimination diet for weeks and LO is starting to get worse again. Why the fuck am I starving myself if she is getting worse again?

After having my first, I had the "baby blues" at 4 months PP! It was delayed and weird. Pretty normal, though. I feel for y'all. Hugs.

I hate Xmas. Hate it. I hate buying stupid presents for everyone. We're all adults, why the f*** am I buying you a present. Go buy whatever you want/need for yourself, and I'll do the same thing. Why can't we just have supper/get drunk and hang out?? The commercialization of Xmas can go to hell.

DH has a friend from out of state staying with us for the week (not the original plan, so a little unexpected) and the one thing I asked him is to just not be out all day every day because I could use his help with the baby. And he said that was fine but in the last four days he has been home a total of about 6 hours during the daytime and he has done nothing to help me with the baby. Then last night I asked if he could give her a bottle when she woke MOTN and put her back to sleep. He fed her and then put her in the crib wide awake and crying and came back to bed saying he was to tired to rock her to sleep. So I had to get up and do it. It just pissed me off so much, like I ask you for help once these last few days and you can't even help me with that.
