I’m probably being very unreasonable here but I’m just so jealous when people get to have fun with my baby and I’m left dealing with all the drudgery. She is very close to my parents, and they have such a wonderful time together but I still deal with her at mealtimes or nappy changes (a nightmare!), am constantly thinking about her meals or next meals, cleaning her up. While everyone else plays with her and she then adores them.
i feel like she doesn’t like me as much, that I am her boring mum. I try but I am so overwhelmed trying to hold our life together.
DH works long hours but equally he gets the same. He doesn’t think about the next size of clothes she needs, meals, socialising her, routines.
I know people will just say “welcome to parenting”but im sad and never thought I would be like this. I don’t feel like I have any fuel in the tank to be fun even when I do have 5 mins as I’m so exhausted from everything else.
