I feel so bad writing this but, most days I don't enjoy being a mother. I'm a first time mum to my DS who is 2 (26 months to be exact). I love him to bits, I would do anything for him, he is my world. But 90% of every day I'm feeling down, exhausted, irritated and I just feel trapped all the time. I'm a SAHM and also run my small business while he sleeps. I cannot take him anywhere because he won't hold my hand, has meltdowns constantly, won't listen, we've had to ditch the pram months ago because he climbs out. So I can't even go to a shop with him, can't go out for coffee, can't go for a walk, can't take him in the car longer than 10 mins or he goes crazy, can't go out for a date with hubby because he takes hours to lay down at night, nothing. He's always been a very difficult child because he has a wicked temper and so stubborn. But he is a loveable, clever boy and still my best friend.
I guess I'm just here to seek some sort of comfort. When did you find parenting enjoyable? Or am I just being dramatic because i'm struggling to adapt to my new life as a mother?
