Hello, I am new to this site. Having read your lovely advice to others I was wondering if you could help me. I am having a terrible day and feel like the worst mum in the world. I have 2 children, my son is 3 1/2 and my daughter is nearly 2. I am finding it very hard to bond with my daughter and often, although it kills me to admit this, I don't like her very much. She has been a 'difficult' baby from day 1. She never slept, cried all the time, has milk intolerance, excema. I now feel she winges constantly, is always ill and generally very hard work. I don't really like being alone in the house with her.I feel awful writing this because I do love her very much and would never do anything to hurt her. I was wondering if anyone has any advice. Maybe it is my attitude towards her. I have tried being really positive and cuddly with her but it seems to make no difference. I don't want to tell anyone this, including my husband, in case they judge me. Please help! Thank you.
