I regret carrying my baby every time he cried.

Hi all,

I am at my breaking point….

I have a 10 month old and I’m at the point where I can’t put him down for ANYTHING!

I can’t do my laundry, I can’t do my dishes, my house looks like shit. My partner complains to me about how I don’t help him around the house, my mother and grandmother don’t like that we don’t keep our house clean as they both say it’s showing our son to be lazy, etc.

I’m writing this as my son is in his crib screaming his head off and I’m trying to use the bathroom.

I don’t know what to do at this point, I’ve taken care of all his needs, and still.

My senses go into overdrive when he cries, so I try to tend to him when he cries, but looks like that was the biggest mistake I could do. I thought tending to your child when they cry helps them in the future.

I’m at my wits end.. I was able to wash clothes, and do some dishes, but I had to let him cry nonstop in his crib.

I’m so tired and coming down with some type of sickness, I don’t know how much longer I can do this. It’s really taking a toll on me. I’m forcing myself to stay strong for the sake of my son, but I’m about to break. 😢

Geez, I feel like a terrible mother. 😭😭
