Resenting being a mummy...

[EmmaJR1]

Don't get me wrong - I'm ecstatic at finally being a mummy to a gorgeous 7 week old boy - however having lived nearly 40 years as an independent women, travelling, going out late, buying whatever I want I'm finding it more difficult than I imagined to adapt to having a tiny human attached to me ALL THE TIME!
He is a good baby and I can't complain about being hard done by because I'm not - I'm very lucky. It's just EVERYTHING I do now is in relation to this gorgeous bundle- I even walk the dog with the baby! Am I being unreasonable to miss my carefree days? I feel a bit guilty...

EmmaJR1you have just had your first baby and you are able to take the dog out for a walk. YOU ARE DOING GREAT. Don't be hard on yourself.

Of course she didn't know what she was getting in to before having a baby, who does?!

You cannot prepare yourself for how different your life will be.
Every decision, every day, every thing you do seems centred around a tiny needy human, and at 7 weeks old they give you so little back.

I hated the baby bit OP, I missed my independence, my career, my colleagues, my body, but...... it does get better and when they smile, sit up, walk, talk, sing you songs, make you proud and completely crack up when you say something funny, it's the best feeling in the world.
