I'm having a bad morning.

LoveActually4 · September 2013

I just need a break. I just always feel like a bad mom and this morning my DH made me feel like one too.

I grabbed the keys and left. I'm sitting in my PJs in a parking lot wondering what the hell I'm doing. I feel like I'm losing it.

I'm sorry for the vent I just feel really alone these days.

I'm really sorry you're having such a rought time. Can you ask your H to take the kids today while you get some alone time?

Ugh. I've been there. You hop in the car with the need to get away and realize you have no where to go. Is a Barnes and Noble open? You could curl up in a corner and drink coffee and read a book or magazine.
You are not a bad mom. Your H is pushing his own insecurities and aggressions about his parenting on you. It'll be better when you go back home. Hope your day isn't ruined

You are NOT a bad mom. Have you discussed these concerns with your physician? PPD/PPA isn't fun to live with, and I hope you see the support in this area here. I'm sorry, and I hope your day improves.

I'm sorry. ((hugs)) You should turn on some really loud music and sing along and then get yourself some Starbucks.

I did the same thing once. I just sat by a nearby park until I got scared that people would think I was weird, and then I went back home.

DH and I recently had a really good talk, and we're working on our struggles too. We made lists of specific things we both need to feel respected, loved, supported, and appreciated. Maybe if you have some time to talk to after the kids go to bed, you could talk about that.

For now, I like the PP's suggestion of seeing if DH can watch the kids for a bit longer and doing something for you - coffee shop, or something else like that.

I'm so sorry. I hope your day gets better.

I'm sorry.
You are not a bad mom.
Sometimes you just need a break.

Casting my vote for just going somewhere in pjs. Who cares?
I hope your DH figures out where he went wrong real quick and *hugs*

Thanks everyone. I just feel so overwhelmed sometimes and I don't have a lot of people who understand what it feels like. I am so, so lucky to have you all to talk to.

As a single parent I have had many a day like that. Hope you get some away time and your day improves!

go indulge in some retail therapy, even if that only means buying yourself a cup of coffee.
