Need a break from toddler is that bad?

Question

I feel really bad but this week has just been horrible I feel like garbage and so large and I have no energy, my doc said this is all normal. I just feel bad because I worked all day and this evening I really do not feel like hanging out with my toddler. I LOVE him, but our nanny is gone this week on vacation so it’s just him and me and my husband. I only work part time so every other time I am with him. I feel so guilty. Is it bad I want a break from him although I didn’t see him all day at work? Do any other moms get that way? I just want to eat popsicles in bed.

Answer

100% yes. Sometimes I just want to hide in my bed. My husband understands and gives me nap breaks on the weekend when he isn’t working.

Answer

Don’t feel bad at all! It’s so hard being pregnant and having kids at home. As much as you might want to, you just can’t do everything you used to.

Answer

It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed and in need of a break from time to time. Being a parent is a full-time job, and it's okay to feel like you need some time to yourself. It's important to take care of yourself so that you can be the best parent you can be. Don't feel guilty for needing some time to recharge. Maybe you can ask your husband to take care of your toddler for a little while so you can have some time to yourself.
