Am i a bad mum

[Yummymummy1990]

Hi there everyone, well im curently 31 weeks pregnant with my 2nd but i just cant seem to get up in the mornings its not fair on my son! I know hes awake but i tell him 10 more minutes please but it turns into hours how can i make my lazy bum get out of bed? As i said its really not fair on my son and i feel so guilty when i do actually wake up! One more question i get stressed out so easily it feels like all i do is yell at my son and he always annoys me dont get me wrong i love him to pieces i know its probablly hard for you to believe after reading this but i do,, am i bad mum?

no your not a bad mum, but you have a steep learning curve ahead when number 2 arrives, you'll get there though!

no, you're tired, pg and hormonal. How old is your DS? And how much help are you getting from your DP/DH (if he is around?)

Thumbwitch has hit the nail on the head. It does take two to make a baby and two to parent the other (ideally obviously)

yummy are you ok rest of the day? Do you feel down? Just bear in mind that hormone are raging and anti-natal depression is more common than we think.

Besides that give yourself a break. Don't beat yourself up. If dp/dh is around explain how feeling. Say words.. I need Your help!

Use sticker chart if appropriate for ds age and reward everything good ds does. Made me feel tons better because i had good things to praise him for and showed me for all the telling off there is some praising times too.

Hth

Oh Yummy, you are not a bad Mom at all.

I was such a sloth when pregnant with DS2, poor DS1 became very overattached to Cbeebies.

It is exhausting. I was just constantly shattered and bad tempered.

Yes, does your DP/DH help out at all? Do you get a break where you could have a nap during the day?

Yes i am with my partner but he goes to work at 6 and when he comes home all he wants to do is sleep too, my son is 2 and a half, yes i do feel ok during the rest of the day but just stressed really thankyou for your answers i do feel better now
