Have any of you wanted to physically hurt your baby cause you were so frustrated with them?

Question

My step mom is like this with her kids. Is it like post partum depression?

Answer

It definitely could be

Answer

That’s not ok in any way.  Thinking leads to action.  She’s not a good parent if she can’t handle her children.  They should want to be good not have to be bad for attention. Get therapy and take some parenting classes. Before CPS has to intervene.

Answer

That’s not ok

Answer

No, but my mom told me that she never understood how someone could shake a baby....until she had me 😂😂 obviously she was joking. But no, that's not okay and she should definitely seek help from a professional.

Answer

ppd is when you don't want anything to do with your child. not abusing them. and ppd is temporary.

Answer

Well I haven't become a mom yet but I am a step mom to a 6 yr old, a nanny to a 7 yr old, 18 month old and a 12 month old. I have never wanted to punish with anything more than a firm grasp of the arm followed by a calm, terrifying voice if I'm being ignored. I wouldn't dare smack a child that wasnt my own, but imagining that any of the children I watch WERE were mine, I still don't think that I could. To me, children are the most innocent in all situations, just like animals. Patience is key. 
I grew up with an abusive step mother. I watched her punch her 8 yr old daughter in the chest, I watched her  teach her 15 yr old son to punch her 10 yr old daughter, and I heard the countless threats to that little girl during her whole life. The first time she threatened to punch MY sister? Well that was also her last time. 
I never saw what my father saw in my step mom. But thats his life and his marriage so I just stay clear from the chaos. It's too hard to watch her treat my father ( a millionaire) with such disrespect while he houses her and her children, pays for everything, and puts up with such rudeness. Ugh okay, rant over! Sorry about that 😅
