Failing as a mom?

Does anyone feel like they just suck at being a mom?

My son is 4 and sometimes I just don’t want to be a mom. I’m a stay at home mom, so maybe I’m just seriously burnt out. But I just feel like such a crap mom.

He has so much energy, I can’t keep up sometimes. I can’t stand playing hide and seek, or playing with his nerf guns, or pretending to be pirates.

I don’t think Blippi is funny and I’m tired of watching it!

I’m tired of fighting with him to brush his teeth every day.

Some times I just have no patience or I just get so tired of the noise that I turn the damn tv on so I can get a little break.

He loves helping me cook but gosh I can’t stand it. It takes forever to get things done and it’s triple the mess to clean up afterwards.

I try to hide my feelings and I don’t make comments about things in front of him but oh my god, I feel absolutely terrible.

He needs a sibling or a friend but we can’t afford preschool here. And honestly I’m worried about kindergarten, the public schools are absolutely fucked up now a days. And a new sibling would be so much younger than him, I’m not sure if he would benefit from that.
