Idk if it's just post partum hormones but everything makes me angry now. I get frustrated so easily like my mom lives 2 hours away from me so she literally wants to text me 24/7 wants to video chat everleigh for at least 3 hours out of the day wants me to drive Everleigh there every weekend she's jealous because my BFS parents get to see her more than she does because they live closer and she thinks she wont know who she is...and when we are there she literally wants to hold Everleigh the WHOLE TIME I gave her to my brother to hold for a minute and I came back and my mom had her and I asked my brother and he said she just took her...its like she's so needy and I know I should be greatful because one day she won't be here and I love her so much but i have other things I need to do during the day besides text her 24/7 and call her 24/7 it's hard enough taking care of a newborn as it is let alone having to keep up with her so she's not sad. But she's literally went as far as to beg me every time she sees me to switch to formula(no) so that she can babysit(And not just for a day she wants her for the whole weekend but she's 3 weeks old!!!) Idk it just makes me so angry but I feel bad so I can't say anything 😔
@jcbaby, I get that but you can't take that on. If I took on everyone else's issues, my baby would fall to the bottom of the list. He's #1. His needs are met through my breastmilk. You sound like a really good mom. Don't ever let anyone else make you question that
Im so sorry I deal with a similar thing with my mom and mil. I hope it gwts better you just gotta stand your ground. Im sort of a push over :(
@jcbaby, whoa! Stand your ground. If you want to breastfeed her and aren't having issues, stay the course. I completely understand where you're coming from. Everything makes me angry when people are acting selfishly and I'm just trying to give my son everything he needs right now. You're doing great. Don't doubt yourself or beat yourself up!!
@jcbaby its so hard too makes me sad
