Ok, I really don't care what anyone here has to say about what I'm about to spout off. I'm sure deep inside, all of you feel the same. I hate being a mom. This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. And what's worse, I have no choice in this. He's here now. I can't change that fact. I DO love him, don't get me wrong but this sucks. I know I'm probably the only one who will admit this. I don't like feeling this way. I so badly want to love this but sleep deprivation really doesn't bring out the best in me. If anyone else is struggling as much as me and still loves this, please tell me how you're pulling it off. I don't want life to suck when having a child is supposed to make life fun.

I'm a stay at home mom. I had my son two weeks ago and have learned that being a mom is the hardest job I've ever had. It made me think about how much harder and more stressful my life would be if I had to go back to work. I just want to say that I admire the heck out of all of you who do both. You are made of stronger stuff than me. Keep up the amazing work!

I made an appointment with the counseling branch of my ob's office to get some help. After speaking with a nurse on the phone, she's pretty sure I have postpartum depression and has already called in a prescription for some anti depressants. I'm glad I'm taking a stand against the darkness that has consumed me over the last couple weeks. I need to be well for my family!

Dear Cindi,
I appreciate you coming to stay for a month to help with our newborn son. There are just a few things I'd like to address...
1. Don't refer to my sons penis as a "birdie". It's not a bird, nor does it look like one.
2. Stop taking my son into the room we've so graciously let you stay in and lock yourself in. He's MY son. Taking him like that isn't helping me. In fact, you're screwing with my bonding time with him.
3. Stop trying to help me change his diaper. It's a diaper change, not a surgical operation. I don't need your help with it. I'm positive that I can do it on my own.
4. Stop calling my son "Angel Buns". That is by far the stupidest nickname I've ever heard for him. Call him Buddy Bear or Jeremy like the rest of us do.
5. I've wanted to have skin to skin contact with my son since the day he was born but because you feel you need to be by my side every single minute, I haven't been able to have that crucial bonding time with him.
6. I'm a modest person. I don't appreciate you being in the same room with me when I'm trying to breastfeed my son. What, it limits your time with him? Well that's too bad. He needs to eat and I need to do it in private. It's not my fault he needs to eat so often.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is..........BACK OFF! Let me be a mother.
Sincerely,
Natalie
