Feel like a terrible mother

I was looking forward to my very first Mother's Day! However LO has been a nightmare this week so far and now all I really want is a day where I don't have to deal with or listen to a crying baby. I feel awful cause how could I not want to be with my new family?! But a day alone to read, have a cocktail, do some shopping sounds like heaven!

    Right there with you.  I'm in a bad way and this little dude has been awake and hollering for 3 hours now.  He was up and not sleeping all night.

    Sigh.

    It gets better.

    "Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

    You are not a terrible mother, you are a mother of a new baby!  I feel the same way! A  trip to Target without a screaming baby and sleep sounds better than anything  right now!

    Yes please! I want a day out alone, but I want DS to be super fussy so DH gets why I'm so tired and frustrated these days.

    Don't feel terrible. Get out of the house even for a couple hours. You will probably find as much as you think you need days...a few hours and you'll be not only feeling better but missing that baby!
