My LO has head butted my shoulder so hard that he cried 3 times... today.
This. All the freaking time. I always feel guilty when she head butts my chin shoulder or collarbone because I know it must hurt her, but I guess she'll learn at some point!

I sometimes nurse DS when he's fighting sleep even though he's not hungry because I don't want to take the time to get him to fall asleep. He usually just nurses for a few minutes and then he's out like a light.

I was carrying DS up over my shoulder where he could see behind me. I was walking quickly to catch up with DD and his head bobbed and smacked mine. He immediately started screaming. It hurt me too so I'm sure it didn't feel good for him.
I still feel sick about this but Emily fell/slipped out of she swing and face planted the floor. The swing is about knee high. Poor baby got her shots the same day too. Dr checked her out after her fall and she is fine. She cried more for the shots. It was a horrible day for us both.

Ugh. I'm so sorry. Glad to hear she's ok after the fall...

oh f*ck! How did she fall out? I haven't been using straps because there's a tray on ours but realistically, he could just pop out of that. Check me in for another bad mom confession. Straps are hard

Lol those were my exact words!! Straps are hard. I swaddled her tight and rolled a blanket under her butt/knees to avoid a fall. I underestimated the strength of my baby. She started bucking her butt and unswaddled herself and basically bucked herself out of the swing. I called my mom crying. Now she gets strapped in tight in all things that have straps. She is never strapless. Also stupidity. DS was way older when I started using straps. I have to keep reminding myself my kids are different from each other.

I showed this post to my husband last night because he doesn't think Brady needs to be strapped into the swing. He says straps are hard too. I told him we can't afford for Brady to faceplant and get hurt because our house isn't clean enough for social services to come visit us.
I fell asleep on the couch with DD on my chest. Woke up and she was slipping... I caught her just before she fell off, put her back on my chest and fell asleep again. It wasn't until I woke up the next time I realized how close she had been to hitting the floor.

I feel horrible saying this. But I need to vent to you ladies because I don't feel like there's anyone IRL I can say this to without feeling even worse than I already do.
Sometimes I just don't want to deal with my daughter. She'll start fussing and I just get so annoyed. I miss being able to do whatever I want during the day.

Does this get better? I feel like a bad mom.
Know that you are not alone. I don't know if it gets better but I DO know that I only feel this for part of the day and not constantly.

Thank you, I need to remember this. I don't always feel this way.

We had his car seat snapped into the stroller while we were out the other day. DS was starting to get a little cranky, and we thought he may want a little something to eat, so DH put him in the seat and just used the chest clip to hold him in (DH was right there the whole time, we just wanted to be able to get him back out easily if needed).
He ended up calming down so we said we'd try to get to our next stop before feeding him. He put him in the car and started on our way.
About a mile down the road DH turns to me and asks if we clipped him in all the way. I pulled over at a gas station and lo and behold - we had not! I'm waiting for my parent of the year award.

Don't feel like a bad mom, feel like a human! You're doing a great job and it's okay to feel overwhelmed.
I completely know how you feel. Sometimes I'm glad to know that I'll be back to work in a few weeks so I can interact with adults during the day again. (I hold the right to feel miserable as it gets closer though! Haha)

This is definitely me. I'm looking forward to going back to work for a few weeks before summer vacation at the same time I know I'm not going to want to be there. Catch 22!

Babies are hard work. Some more than others. Don't feel bad. I felt like this a lot with DD1. It gets better as they get easier. But those moments pop back up during teething, sleep regression, etc.
I remember with DD1 I would fantasize about taking her to the midwife office or the drs office and dropping her off and saying I changed my mind. Lol

LO almost did this in his swing last week. I was watching him wiggle out of his swing and he had his feet on the floor. I wanted to see how far he would actually be able to wiggle. I grabbed him because it was going to be a matter of seconds before he fell out. Ugh.

Add me to the club. I go back to work next week and I am kind of looking forward to it, (FWIW I will work 2 12s, so gone about 14hrs, but then have 2 or 3 days off in a row with DS, so I am hoping the couple full days in a row will make up for working long days). DS was at daycare for 5 hrs today so he can get use to it and it was nice to be by myself a little, I haven't been able to tell anyone that IRL because everyone keeps saying how hard it must be that he was gone, I feel like I would sound like a bad mom if I said 'it was actually kind of nice.'

This morning I changed DS with the intention of setting him up with the activity gym and pumping. He peed over the side of the changing pad and onto the activity gym mat.
The only thing that changed with the plan was I put a towel down first.

I feel like this a lot. I love my kids. But I have never once been upset leaving them with someone else for awhile.

you are not alone. I did something similar (worse probably because it was on the highway) and was so grateful lo was hungry and I had to pull off to feed him and realized
She loves to be vertical, looking around. Either while sitting on our laps or being walked around so she has very strong muscles from that. She hates tummy time.

This is my kid exactly.
This! I really hope it doesn't end up biting me in the butt later. She has great trunk and head control from being sat up and carried vertical though.
