Feeling like I will be the worst mother in the world...
I love my own mom, but she is definetly short tempered and easily annoyed. She also has bi-polar depression so managing her high and lows has always been a struggle. I however am very patient and calm, i tend to avoid conflict and communicate very well.
Now that said, I am turning into my mother. I am 9W3D and my nephew has been staying with us for the last few days and will be here for a full week. Lord, he is testing my patience. He is an only child and 6 years old. He wants everything now, and has 100 million questions.
I am trying to stay patient and calm, but with DH at work, I feel like I'm looking into my future... Me, frazzled and exhausted with a messy house, biting my tongue not to snap at my adorable, well meaning nephew. I'm not being myself and I'm scared I'm gonna be bad at being a mom too. I know a lot of it is hormones and exhaustion, but won't I be even MORE exhausted with a newborn?!
Anyone else seriously doubting if they will be able to handle motherhood??
