Coping Struggles and Mum Guilt

[C202]

I have a daughter who is 7months old. She has regressed a few times and is not sleeping through the night.
She has this moaning noise that she does that drives me insane.
She also gets bored extremely quickly.
I feel like I am going crazy with lack of sleep, and constantly trying to entertain my LO.
I feel like I am raging, shouting and swearing all the time.
I am also trying to work full time and she is with me all the time.
I just feel I don’t have the patience to be a mum and when she is sleeping I just feel this crazy guilt, I don’t want her to think I don’t love her.
Just asking if anyone else has had this struggle?

Do you mean you're doing a full time WFH job with her there?

@AvocadoJam i am yes

Put her in nursery and do your job properly. Or quit your job/take more leave and parent properly.

You're knackered because you're doing 2 full time jobs simultaneously. Choose 1 and do that.

(with many caveats that you'll still be knackered because baby, but less guilty.)

It's impossible to WFH and look after a baby at the same time, and unless you are self employed against company policy

You need to get childcare in place
the situation is not fair on you, your baby or employer

No wonder you’re finding it so hard. You need to figure out a way to afford childcare while you work - this is totally unsustainable. Do you have a partner? What’s your financial and home setup?

I went back to work when my baby was 6 months and it was incredibly difficult. I had a full time nanny though, I don't understand how you are getting any work done.

Baby might be happy in a play pen/bouncy chair now but soon she will be crawling and then walking and there is absolutely no way you can keep her in one place.

Get childcare. It's not fair on her to be left in a corner and ignored while you work and then have an exhausted fed up mum after hours too.

As a mum to a 6 month old baby I don’t understand how you are getting any work done whilst simultaneously looking after your baby?! No wonder you’re struggling. I can barely even find time to do odd bits of housework during the day when I’m responsible for my baby - she is a full time job. Is there any way you could rethink your situation? My baby certainly couldn’t keep herself entertained for more than a few minutes. I think it’s very normal for them to need a lot of attention still at this age and perhaps your expectations for your baby are unrealistic?

She’s 7 months old! She’s barely been born!

You’re off your head trying to work at the same time and it’s clearly affecting your mental stability. What on earth is the backstory here that you are trying to work with a baby? What do you even do for work?

Get daft notions of “regression” out of your head too. She’s 7 months old, why are you expecting that she should be sleeping through the night?

You need childcare...!!!!
