I hate being a mum :(

[Jadehxx]

I struggle to find any good parts about being a mum! Even on an okay day where he hasn’t screamed for ages. Does anyone else feel like this?

How old is your DC?

He’ll be 6 months next week

It’s early days OP! The first year is definitely the hardest (for me anyway). Do you try and get out and about with him during the day? Do you have support from your partner?

Hang in there OP. It will get easier I promise.

I don’t have a partner and my son doesn’t have a dad in his life :(
I try to but we live in a small village and I don’t drive.
Thanks, I hope so

It will get better. Some people love babies but tbh I found my dc boring as babies- I much prefer it now they are all older. 6 mths is a difficult age because you seem to be constantly feeding them, clearing up, working around naps. Try to get out as much as you can and do nice things for you e.g stop for a coffee on a walk. Could you get the bus to a town and look around the shops?

My son just doesn’t sleep! It makes it so much worse. He doesn’t nap and only sleeps a couple of hours at night.

I try and go to town as much as I can but the bus is quite expensive.

It will get better! That really isn't much sleep if he only sleeps a few hours and it's all on you. Have you got family nearby who could help out? Even if someone could watch him for a few hours so you could get some sleep, you'd probably feel tons better afterwards. If there are any baby groups locally you could check them out too, you may meet mums in the same boat! Won't help the sleep deprivation but you can get sympathy and coffee!
