Case in point: vented to one of my friends and she showed up at my house. I wouldn't let her in so she went and bought me a care package and I can tell she's been crying.
Now I feel like shit.
I can relate . It will take time but you can do it . You simply saying what you never been able to do is the first step of reversing it. You know your struggle. And with your parents . although they may not agree you have to do what's best for your child. Find research so when they have an opinion you can share what You KNOW be assertive in your decision so they dont think they can control you and your parenting style. They are your parents not his .
@momofdeuce I've never been able to let people help mean. When I would ask for help as a child I would get in trouble for trying to get attention. Neither of my parents are emotional people and so everything is very passive aggressive in my house.
They're also so old school that it's hard to do what I want with my son because I live in their house. They don't understand breastfeeding. They just want to give him a bottle.
Thank you so much ❤️
understandable you just had a baby and probably have a lot of life challenges going on. I urge you not to block out those who are offering their support mama. You need all the help you can get and shouldn't be ashamed ! My inbox is open if you need a listening ear.
