Is it normal to feel like this?

[Babymumma01]

Hi mums,
Im pretty much a do it all mum. Partner works extremely long hours 6 days per week (most weeks), leaves at crack of dawn and gets back home when baby is down for the night. I do all the night feeds and all the days. I try to remain as positive as I can be and most days im jumping for joy, but some days I’m so down and even cry where I just feel so lonely, am juggling so much and just never have not even 5 minutes to myself. Is this normal? I feel bad as my baby can obviously feel this but it is so hard not to feel this way some days. Any other mums felt like this? I have been thrown some really nasty comments at by family members which has made me cut ties, Makes me feel like such a bad mother :(

I understand why people are upset but ive never said i know what it feels like to be a lone parent so theres no need for harshness.
Thank you for everyone that has been nothing but lovely and reassuring!!
To those that have all the time in the world to post hate and read things totally out of context, very good luck to you xxxx

Wow - loads of twats on this thread.

OP, talk to your partner. You sound lonely and vulnerable. Do you have to stay at home until your child is older? Can you work and your partner cut back?

This shit is hard. So hard.

@Givemeabreak88 alot of women find being a single parent far easier than doing it in a couple. In some ways it can feel worse when you are stuck in a relationship where one parent is away doing other stuff alot. So reign in the pity party. Everyone has their own struggles whether a single parent or in a partnership.

It's misplaced not missed placed.
Appreciate that you are exhausted.

You are not a lone mother and you need help. Cutting ties with your family was not ideal.Perhaps you should try to build bridges.

OP What type of work does he do?

Fuck me are you all serious 😂 Jesus Christ ! This is the most pathetic replies I have ever read on here . If she feels like a lone parent so be it ! Woopy she put it in the wrong forum . God get a grip everyone !
