To think everyone must have the odd Dark Day as a parent?

[NapQueen]

It can't all be roses in the garden every day can it?

I've had one of those days today. Compounded by the fact that DS had me up from 5am; I'm due on; dd 4 has been rather trying.

I even had a little cry in the bathroom earlier. Dh is amazing. Hands on, total equal parent. I imagine if he wasn't I'd have many more of these days.

I just feel so miserable and tense today. And a bit vommy. I need my bed I think but similarly I need the time after bedtime to relax alone in the bath.

Everyone has days like this surely? Or am I just not really cut out for motherhood?

Sometimes it's very dark indeed when everyone else's DCs seem to be achieving their potential and growing into shiny haired happy people.
It's such a cheek that it takes years of hard graft to learn the parenting malarkey and then bugger me but you can't go back and do it all again but properly this time.
Snot fair.
