Am I a horrible mom if.....

I am looking forward to having a newborn again and breastfeeding, leaving DH to have to deal with our horrible 3 year old the majority of the time? She is just awful lately. She threw a colossal meltdown at bedtime tonight all because DH took her pigtails out. She was thrashing and screaming like a crazy person. We just had to leave her, it was awful. Thankfully there was 2 of us because I am sure I would have lost my sh*t if dh wasn't there. The listening, the testing limits, the defiance, the meltdowns are driving me to the brink of insanity. Being pregnant leaves me with zero patience. I feel so bad because I want to enjoy these last few weeks as a family of three but have spent it putting dd in timeout and taking away toys etc. We have started a rewards chart and that has helped a little, but man are we in for it when this baby gets here. I don't know how we are going to do this!

Re: Am I a horrible mom if.....

  • Horrible? No. Deluded? Yes. When your baby arrives you'll find yourself breastfeeding your sweet baby, holding him/her in one hand while managing your 3 your old at the same time. Oh wait - is that just becuz my dh is a total slacker lately? ;) Good luck. You'll be fine and I'm sure u r a good mom
