I really don’t want to be mum anymore.

I know I’m going to sound an absolute arsehole and I feel like one, but I’ve had absolutely enough of being a mum. My little girl is a nightmare and I mean a total nightmare, she never listens, screams the house down if nothing goes her way, refuses to do the most basic tasks like get dressed, have a bath etc and will literally push and shove her way out of doing so. I really cannot cope anymore. Me and my daughters dad have split and he lives 2 hours away. When he does come to visit he is absolutely zero help and let’s her get away with murder. I live with my parents and they help a little but I don’t like to ask for heir help too much as they have other commitments and it’s also not their problem. I’m just at the end of my tether. I’ve had therapy for my depression but it honestly has not help much. I think it’s made worse by the fact I’d never planned to have children and when I did my ex was fully committed to helping and then a couple months after she was born he just got up and left. Don’t get me wrong I love her to pieces but I just really don’t like being a mum. I know I’m going to ruffle a few feathers and I do know how lucky I am to be a mum as everyone keeps telling me, but that doesn’t stop this feeling inside.

This sounds really tough. How old is your DD?

How old is your daughter? Do you ever get a break as in do you work so you can have some adult contact and conversation? Does she go to any childcare setting or school and how is she there?

It sounds like it’s her behaviour that needs addressing really - I can imagine most people wouldn’t enjoy being a parent if it’s just constant conflict and struggle and no fun at all, which is what it sounds like at the moment. It sounds like you need some support in disciplining her and managing the behaviour, then you can focus on being able to enjoy time with each other more.
