I'm having such a bad day today where I just can't be bothered. My 9 week olds crying/whining isn't even that bad today but every time she starts I just have no patience, I feel so tired and feel like I can't be bothered. I didn't even do the night shift last night and I'm still tired! I feel like a lazy useless mother. It's times like this that make me question whether I'm even cut out to be a mum.
My partner told me to come upstairs to bed and have some time out while he takes care of her downstairs which I'm so grateful for but I feel guilty for leaving him with her.
Please tell me other mums have days like this? 😢

Assuming your partner is her other parent,
you do need to give yourself a break and not feel guilty about that. They are as much as parent as you are

Of course! Everyone does. Don’t beat yourself up. It’ll get easier soon (then harder, then easier, then harder 😂). You’re doing great. Get some rest.

Yes my partner is her dad just to clarify!

Youl have many moments /days where you feel like this as a parent. It does get easier slowly but surely

You're only human. Don't feel guilty for having a break every now and then - with a 9 week old it's work 24/7!!

Everyone has those days sometimes. Do some self care, rest as much as you can, and try again tomorrow.
