Am i wrong to feel this way??

Question

I have a 10 month old daughter. Emmalynn. And. I. Am. Tired. I want a break away from her. Like even an hour would be nice. This morning I brushed my teeth and locked her out and she was trying to get in. Like give me some space. 😂 Is it wrong that I'm still not used to being a mom after 10 months? I used to babysit when I was in high school and I would watch them all day then go home. I knew being a mom would be hard and not a walk in the park. But I didn't realize how much I would want time away!!!! She prefers to go to me rather than my husband so at night it's me! I work full time but that time away at work is not what I'm wanting. I want a day off with no baby and no cleaning and do whatever the hell I want. Maybe I'm just cranky cause I've had a cold for over a week so being sick for the first time with a baby wasn't fun. I couldn't get the rest I needed. She sleeps all night and is such a good baby so I'm very blessed. I just want the house clean and not have a sink full of dishes every night. I'm just venting here. But am I the only one not used to being a mom? Will it get better!!!! Here's my princess that I'm complaining about but I also love her dearly!! 💖💖

Answer

The way I look at it is...  this is only going to happen for a couple SHORT years in your long life. She’s obsessed w you! You’re the light of her life. When shes older and doesnt want to spend any time with you, then you’ll remember this period of her life and miss it. Just embrace this phase because when its over, its over.

Omg!!!! my 10 month old daughter has been the same way. She wants mommy not daddy, she won’t even let me eat, when I try I she starts crying and sometimes I tell my husband I have to pee just to hide out in the restroom for 5 minutes. She’s always in the kitchen when I’m cooking or cleaning and has to go with me through out the house for whatever other cleaning I do, and omg do not let her hear those car keys in my hand because she will go nuts if I do not pick her up in the next 5 seconds after she hears them. I love her and would do anything for her, but dammit I just want some time to sit down and eat a meal without having to get up.

Here’s my baby attached to my hip as everyone says

Answer

Oh. My. God. Yes. 
I currently have a 3 year old, and as much as I love playing with him and enjoying time with him, I crave me time. 
When 7:30pm hits (bed time) I lap up every moment. It’s so hard being constantly depended on, but also amazing. To me I’m his everything right now, and I know this won’t be the case in a few years time. 
Some days I find it difficult to enjoy every little moment with him though, and that’s just the brunt truth of it. Doesn’t mean I don’t love him with every possible fibre in my body, it just means I’m human with a spectrum of emotions out of my control.

Answer

It’s normal! Just because you have a baby doesn’t mean you have to be just a mother 24/7.. hire yourself a baby sitter and get out of the house for a bit! You’ll feel much better

Answer

She's adorable it's natural to feel.that way at times  haven't you got family to help you out ?or what about a creche for a day a week it also will get her use to  mixing with other children and stating away from mammy

Answer

I often feel this too with my 2 year old, don’t feel bad, leave your baby with your husband for a day and have some you time! It’s good for their relationship and your sanity. You will be a better mom because of it! Also treat yourself and hire someone to clean your house for a couple hours, it’s a little pricey but oh so worth it for a special treat!

Answer

I have four children and as much as I miss them when they have all gone to school I enjoy the peace and the knowing I can have five without the word mom being said every second. it's normal to feel that way all mothers feel that at times its natural. by the way your daughter is stunning.

Answer

Super normal. Time for hubby to step it up

Answer

I have 4 kids and a stepdaughter. The older ones are the worse. I haven’t used the bathroom by myself in 19 years. My youngest is 6 years old, he is still attached at the hip. We don’t have family we’re we live, believe it or not, my sons never been watched. Watched. Like a whole evening 🤦🏼‍♀️ but the few times we had a chance to go grab a bite to eat, because my oldest flew down from college. A few hours mind you. I’m thinking about him or worrying if he’s ok. It’s like a damed if you do damed if you don’t kind of thing. It’s perfectly normal. Sometimes you need a breather.
