Not sure why. Maybe hormones (isn't it always?!) or a combination of things. Finding my 17mo boy a bit of a handful at times (full time sahm), particularly his tendency to bite me and other children when frustrated, annoyed, they're too close etc. not quite sure how to handle it.
Also, spent ten years on a career path to what I finally qualified in just before ds was born. Now no jobs around, and not likely to change anytime soon due to state of the NHS. I enjoy looking after ds but feel my brain is atrophying slightly! Luckily don't need financially to work straight away, but also still adjusting to not earning any money myself. DH is amazing (our money etc) and a fantastic dad - so much so I think I compare and find myself wanting occasionally.
We relocated to where we are now when ds was 7wks old. Near DH's family but miles from mine. Made a few mummy friends, but most back at work and closest friend has just put her ds in nursery for couple days a week so we see each other much less.
So not exactly any major hardships in my life - just feeling a but crap! Tell me other people feel like this sometimes? Like being a mummy is my main job, and I don't feel particularly competent at it some days...and I guess I'm not used to feeling sub-standard at what I do.
