I hate being a mother

[Lalinka279]

I hate being mum. I wish I never had my second child. I wish I could turn back time and never had him. It has been 4 months and I still hate it !!!! Will it ever get better ????

I think it is about you rather than the kids/babies. They’re babies just being babies & learning social skills and how they’re meant to behave but the way you’re teaching and potential lack of patience and empathy for them could potentially make them less easy to care for.

Yes, it will.

Different people enjoy different stages.

I basically hated the first few years. Loved my children but hated the monotony and lack of freedom.

Now they are older and love parenting them, they are my best buddies and I love hanging out with them

At 4 months? Give over.

Some people just don't much enjoy changing nappies and having no sleep. It's perfectly normal.

Modern parenting can be pretty miserable and feel isolating a lot of the time, so you certainly are not unusual in feeling the way you do. It’s supposed to take a village to raise a child, and today we are often doing it alone. That’s difficult. Not everyone has a partner or lots of family and friends around. I don’t really have a solution, but just wanted you to know you aren’t alone. Mine are teens now but it’s still very lonely!

I can think of lots of things to hate.

Nappies, no sleep, no freedom.

Hating the activity associated with some stages of parenting is NOT the same as hating the child. If anything it's a sign of having half a brain - the women I know who loved the baby stage the most are (in my experience) people who didn't have very interesting lives to begin with.
