Does anyone else get moments when you feel you aren't getting this mother thing right?

[Pinkchampagne]

Or is it just me??!!

i dont think ive ever cried so much in my life. the poor mite was screaming so much at first. got him down to a+e and he was laughing and smiling at the nurse and doctor. meanwhile im drowning a+e with my tears. aww bless your dd.

when we got home from the hospital after cades birth i promptly fell asleep after spending 3 days in hospital on a natural buzz just staring at him.
anyway dp came to bed and a few hours later i heard this baby crying. elbowed dp still half asleep and told him to shut the window cos someones bubs was crying (bearing in mind cade was in our room with us) dp turned and said "i would shut the window but i dont think it will stop OUR SON from crying" i promptly got up made a bottle and was so tired i almost shoved the bottle up his nose.

I get these moments ALL the time and every night when the little angels are tucked up I promise myself tomorrow will be better..... ha ha

I always promise myself that tomorrow will be better, but often fail miserably the following morning!

had a really horrible row with my ds before school this morning and always feel so much worse if its before school as I feel I am making him unhappy for the whole day - I so want to be a better mum want to be calm patient and not scream and shout but really dont know how to do it - not much help I know but I am sitting at my desk now wanting to cry becuase my parenting skills (or lack of them) is really getting me down

yep lulu,before school rows/tantrums-don't you just hate them?!.Had one myself today too.Yes tommorow is another day....well i suppose i'm going to try starting tonight,cause bedtime ones are even worse!.
your'e not lacking skills,just finding it hard to upkeep the 'modern' way of parenting(like we all are!!!).You know,these people who advocate calmness,patience,probably wrote these books without a child in sight!(a least not with one pushing their very personal buttons every two minutes-we are not robots who can react to everything with a calm/patient manner and be unaffected.
chin up!!-i will if you do

Just this morning I decided that I am definately not cut out for motherhood, I'm far too impatient and my attention span is less than that of my children, I can play make believe with them etc for all of about 30 seconds and then I'm looking around for something else to do.

I feel like I've taken on a job that I'm simply not suitable for only it's a bit too late in the game for me to leave like I would a normal job that I didn't feel was quite right.

There's no option but to just get on with it, and enjoy the good days and just somehow get through the bad days and for me, I'm kind of looking forward to when they're both at full time school and then I might feel I've got my own life back a little bit. But that won't be for another 3 years..........

DS once asked me why I hadn't been to mummy school?!
