This girl on my Facebook who has obviously had days where she's away from her baby said she didn't need breaks and moms don't need breaks. Kind of upset me because I guess some moms don't need breaks, but this momma does occasionally.. If that makes me a bad person so be it, but I don't want to get so frustrated with my baby because I didn't get some mommy time to myself that I do something out of frustration, which happens more often than spoken about. I do get frustrated, I'm a very sensitive person and things upset me easily. Especially because Brandon's not really a hands on kind of person. He doesn't wake up at night even on his days off and he doesn't really feed him or change his diapers. He holds him but not for long amounts of time. So I'm really the only one doing things. And it's stressful for me especially since I already have bad anxiety. I need breaks sometimes and that's okay.

@rockysmommy, yeah I'm hoping she will grow out of if before it comes to that. She won't even let my fiancé put her to sleep or anything. It's crazy lol
@mamesey, maybe when she gets a little older you can get her on some kind of medicine to help with that :( that's got to be exhausting! I'm sorry it's been nine months that's a long time.
I have literally never left my daughters side except once. It was for a little less than 1 hour and it was because I was getting cat scans and shit in the hospital. And my baby was in the hospital just the other room. She's almost 9 months old and that's the only time I've ever been away from her. It is really taking a toll. It's very tiring and draining to NEVER have alone time :( unfortunately, I really can't. Because my baby has bad separation anxiety and she starts to hyperventilate if I'm not holding her or I'm more than about 10 feet away. She will also stop breathing until I pick her up. But if she wasn't like this, I would most definitely get some alone time. It's needed for moms to be mentally healthy. I am extremely depressed because I haven't had any alone time in 9 months. So don't feel bad if you need a break. If I could, I would take some! We all need breaks. It's good for you. Don't let her get you down💕
@andiryan93, I've asked her to just so I could go do me things with Brandon. We need alone time because the stress of a baby has been making us fight lately.
@theinkedmommy, I really wanted to but it wasn't really directed towards me just and I didn't want to start a Facebook war haha
it does not make you a bad mom everyone needs a break every now and again to have some time to themselves. I have a one month old who is my technically only biological baby but I also have 2 kids that I consider to be mine as much as my one month old who are 4 and almost 2 and believe me I know how it feels to need a break lol doesn't mean you don't love them or make you a bad mom it means you run yourself ragged trying to give them everything that you need a little you time...never let anyone tell you your a bad mom and keep on fellow momma you got this! 👍
@theinkedmommy, exactly I go to my moms all the time just to get some time to just sit on her couch without having a baby in my arms crying all the time :/ I love my child with all my heart but it can be so overwhelming.
@jacesterlingsmommy, I get so worked up when he just cries and cries I hate getting that way I just can't help it :/
@rockysmommy, She's blowing smoke out of her ass. No way in hell is it healthy to be with your child 24/7 7 days a week all day every day. You NEED breaks. You NEED time to yourself, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. With Lainey teething, I'm more than happy to hand her to my MIL for the night for the sake of my sanity.
I feel the exact same way! There's times at night I'm so tired and he won't go back to sleep that I just sit there and cry. It can be tough. I was away from my baby for really the first time with my SO sister at her house for several hours and I felt terrible. I kept checking to see if he was ok and if I needed to come home. Theres times I've had to put him in his crib when he's been fed and changed but just wanted to fuss and I needed to get some sleep.
Idk. She's been like this since the moment she was born. She had to sleep in my hospital bed all 3 days (c section) because she could not sleep in her bassinet. Even if she was already asleep and the nurses moved her to the bassinet, she would wake up and scream until back in my hospital bed
