I Don’t Remember This Feeling
With my first I was protective of him and so forth however this time around I’m having a lot of just anxiety and feelings of being very overwhelmed. I’m off from work til September so I’m home right now with my boys I also am in school working on my bachelors degree I was going to take time off but decided against it, I was too afraid I wouldn’t go back and finish so I figured I’d push through I got ahead a couple weeks in school work so I wouldn’t haven’t to worry about it for a little awhile. Everyday I’m cleaning up whatever mess my 3 year makes trying to potty train him which by the way is the hardest thing ever I feel like my laundry is never ending and so forth. My husband works great hours so he’s home no later than 6pm he helps out however here’s my issue I cannot stand how he cares for our newborn I don’t like how he changes his diaper I don’t like how he feeds him holds him anything. Mind you our son is a month old and he’s always telling me how I’ve spoiled him already by holding him as much as I do and always jumping to his every cry and picking him up. I keep telling him he’s a baby a new baby at that I’m his comfort him crying is his only way to tell me something is wrong that he’s hungry needs changed or just wants to be close to me. When he takes him so that I can get things done I will hear my son screaming and I can’t handle it it gives me so much anxiety that I will just stop what I’m doing and go take my son from my husband to calm him down. I will end up just baby wearing him and trying to get my list of things done. Lately I’ve noticed my anxiety is just getting worse I’m overwhelmed I’m feeling sad for whatever reason I just want to cry for no reason at all idk what wrong with me. Have any of you mamas felt like this or experienced these kinds of feelings? I never felt like this with my first so this is all new to me.
