I must be the worst mother on MKP
Everyone here is so perfect! It seems you all wear your babies constantly,
co-sleep with them when you aren't wearing them, rock them for hours on end while they scream, and manage all this even with a dozen other children besides and a successful career. Those of you who don't have a career cook, bake, make your own clothes, baby products, and are basically Martha Stewart minus the criminal record. Still others of you are _always right_ or at least have an annoying way of posting which makes it appear that way to everyone who reads you, myself included. Do you ever get hormonal, overtired? What is your breaking point? Do you have one? I don't wear DD. She amuses herself a lot under a playgym. In fact, I don't even think she likes me because she cries and struggles when I pick her up sometimes. She cries herself to sleep a lot, in her own room. I tell her off when she bites me. She has cat hair in her nappy, and sometimes in her mouth. She doesn't get enough tummy-time, so she's starting to crawl upside down. She would rather watch TV, at three & a half months, than look at us. I can't/won't cook nor bake - the other mothers at my coffee group thought my scones were biscuits. I don't do sewing either. Actually, I don't do much of anything. I am frequently hormonal and irrational, and constantly contradict myself. I don't make a lot of sense most of the time, even to me. At least she's breast-fed and side-slept, so she'll have a good immune system and a nice shaped head when she starts therapy. -- Amy, Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 email: barton . souto @ clear . net . nz (join the dots!) |

What is your breaking point? Do you have one? I know how you feel.. Honnestly! My breaking point is about 1/3 on an inch these days. I am a horrible house keeper and I dont make anything myself. I must admit I can cook anything in a box though I usualy dont Well other then normal every day meals. I did not wear my daughter and dont really plan to wear the next one unless he NEEDS to be worn. I would do almost anything to make him not be a screamer like Bonnie was Though as I have said the solution to that was to put her down.. I cant even claim the breastfeeding thing but to date Bonnie also has a perfectly shaped head to carry to therapy when she gets older Tori -- Bonnie 3/20/02 Xavier Hanging in by a rib Due 10/??/04 |

At least she's breast-fed and side-slept, so she'll have a good immune system and a nice shaped head when she starts therapy. No one is perfect! And just because a person co-sleeps and wears their baby all the time does not make them a better parent than someone who doesn't. All babies are different and have different needs. It sounds to me like you have a baby that is a bit more independent than most. I had one of those babies. From day one I could put her down in her bassinet (no I didn't cosleep, but she slept beside our bed for 9 months) and she would lay there quietly until she went to sleep and at 17 months I can still put her down awake and she will fall asleep by herself. My daughter never cried unless she was hungry (not even for a wet diaper) and never really needed to be held constantly. I did carry her around in her baby bjorn when she was really young and we went for walks, but she went in her stroller at times too. She is now 17 months and I'm 5 months pregnant so there is no way I carry her anymore. Every baby and mom is different. I'm sure you are a wonderful mother. Nadene |

Is it possible to have two easy babies? I hope so. I'm convinced I'm going to have one exactly the opposite. It'll be like having a baby for the first time all over again because I was so spoiled with Maddy. Nadene |

I'm hoping that since mine are adopted, it throws those tendancies out the window. Taylor is so easy now, but honestly I can't remember what exactly she was like in those first 3 months. I remember that it was hard at times, and I felt overwhelmed and needed a break. I remember being ****ed off at her for crying, and then feeling like a terrible mother because of it. I'm going through some of the same things with Addie, and just keep hoping and praying that she turns out easy like Taylor. -- Jamie Earth Angels: Taylor Marlys, 1/3/03 Addison Grace, 9/30/04 Check out the family! -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password |

It's possible Same here, but all 3 have been easy :-) For years I used to think my ds was *so* easy that I shouldn't push my luck as I might not have luck the next time, lol. E is admittedly more challenging, but she's been very easy compared to what she *could* have been like. So far A sleeps, eats, messes her diaper and plays happily on her own. I feel blessed ;-) Nan |
