I feel bad right now. It's been harder to adjust to being a parent than I could have ever imagined. It's starting to get better, however we almost always have someone helping us. Whether it be my parents or grandparents or his parents, someone is almost always there with us. We've been out of the hospital for a week and there's only been maybe 2 days that we haven't had someone over to help us out (not talking about people just visiting). It just makes me feel bad, dude. Especially the nights that he works 12 hours...I'm afraid I won't be able to do it by myself. I'm getting depressed. I feel so codependent and unfit to be a parent. I love my daughter but I feel like I'm just handing her off to everyone. When I sleep I don't even want to wake up so it's almost easier to have someone there with me and that makes me feel like shit. I'm such an awful mom.

You are not an awful mom! You just went through a huge physical/mental/emotional change-give yourself some credit girl. Actually it's great that you have help especially if your SO is back at work already, and it doesn't make you codependent at all. It makes you human. And you'll start picking up more of it on your own as you finish healing from birth. One day at a time momma 😊

It's hard adjusting. I also had someone to help me for the first month of my daughters life. And I mean they helped me all the time. I didn't feel like I could handle it on my own until she was 3 months when we finally had some kind of schedule going

It takes a village. Truest statement of parenthood. The hormones and the sleep deprivation. I had my mom in for 2 weeks then my mother in law then my brother and his husband. I've never felt so lucky to have help.
