It Shouldn’t Suck This Bad
You waited so long to be a mom. Now, here you are.
And you’re miserable.
If your eyes are open, you’re anxious. There’s just TOO MUCH to take care of.
Diapers.
Crying.
Feeding.
Crying.
Messes.
Crying.
You’re ready to scream your head off.
Your Child Deserves Better
That’s what you tell yourself, convinced your little one is picking up on your misery. You see it in their eyes. They know you’re a bad mom.
As they look back at you, you try desperately to fall in love with this baby. But you can’t.
The only thing you feel is fear and desperation.
You Wonder if You Made a Mistake
You were colossally unprepared for how this baby would turn your life upside down.
You thought you’d know exactly what your baby needs.
You don’t.
You thought a newborn would bring you and your partner closer together.
It didn’t.
You thought your baby’s warmth would make the sleepless nights worthwhile.
It doesn’t.
