All my mates having babys this days but some of them drives me mad.One had her baby 8 weeks ago.She is premature so still in hospital,mum complaints that she is exhausted.She goes to hospital around midday,stays untill 5 pm,doesn't wake up at night to express milk(to tired)...The other mum send her little one to nursery when he was 5 months,because she was sorry that she couldn't play with him(to busy chatting on line)and was very upset that she can't claim money back for nursery while on maternity leave...and she is very tired also,can't cook or clean the house.Both are going back to work as soon they can having really inambition jobs...I've decided to put my career on hold to raise my little one...Is it abnormal this days.Is something wrong with me or the world go mad???

Children with Martyrs instead of Mothers grow up harbouring inappropriate feelings of guilt, and anxiety that they have held their mother back.

Yes, I think there's something wrong with you.

You appear to lack the ability to see both sides of the coin.

You appear to have a lack of sympathy and sensitivity with a 'friend' who is obviously going through a trauma.

You appear to have a distinct lack of empathy.

You have a great ability to judge.

Yes, my conclusion is indeed that there is something wrong with you.
