This is for mothers that have a few children. my new baby girl is coming up on two months old. She is is my third child. I'm struggling with depression, finding it hard to get motivated to get my day to day routine on track. My fiancée has been trying to help with picking up with the chores around the house. That I can't manage to motivate to get done. He works long hours and comes home to me still in the same setting he left me in. I know I have postpartum depression, along with borderline personality disorder and PTSD. I put my girls first when it comes to my fiancée's days off. I fell horrible that I haven't had time to see a therapist to take the steps to getting any closer to feeling normal. I want to ask any mothers that have gone thru this same thing, how they overcame their depression. And motivated their selves, to be a great mother to their children. I've tried to take my girls outside for play time. But my illness overcomes me with all the things I have to do to get going. And can't even get it done. Same with the little things, around the house. I take care of my girls needs, but fall short when it comes to taking care of myself. Any ideas will be helpful. Thank you.
a change of scenery helps. go outside with baby in stroller and walk neighborhood or go to park for at least 30 mins a day
Im sorry 😞 if you ever need a friend to talk to just pm me. But I would go talk to a dr
@mel0011, That's what's been making things kinda stressful. We just moved after our daughter was born. So money goes to bills and the girls needs. Like aways I put myself last. With him working long hours, I'm having to stay home without a vehicle. When the depression is at its worst I can't even motivate myself to shower. let alone take a bubble bath. When one girl is content the other one needs me. I breastfeed with is an all day thing. Because I have to eat, drink, pump, feed, repeat.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
