I'm Having A Hard Time Staying Patient With My Children.
|
I have two children (2 and 4) I am 32 weeks pregnant. I absolutely adore my children, but by the end of the day, I have absolutely no patience left. I feel like a bad mom. I don't remember having these feelings when I was pregnant with my second child. Is it normal to not want to be around my own children?

You are not having a hard time staying patient with the children but with yourself. You are impatient because you can no longer move around as you did before, and no doubt whenever you are annoyed at yourself one of the kids is nearby. You can't get mad at yourself so you get mad at the kids. Only natural. You need help and rest. You can get away from the kids but you will still have yourself to live with and that will not change. If you can afford it, get someone to help you do the things you can no longer do like the floors, polishing the furniture on the bottom, lifting things, etc. Otherwise, just let those things go and enjoy your kids.

My dear sister you are not a bad mother of your children this something that you get stubborn, and tired more frequently more quickly during the pregnancy. Normally a women having first pregnancy or or might be she having 2nd or 3rd she get tires more quickly during her pregnancy. this is the normal part. as you said you can feels or behave the same during your second one because one child have only his activities you have to care of just two the first baby & for your new arrival so the rate is much not quicker as in this third one in which you have to take care of two of your child with the 3rd upcoming one also. don't take tension after your baby birth it becomes normal as usual.

You are very busy, and with a 2 and 4 year old and a bulging belly, it is no wonder that you are short on patience. It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed and to lose patience, and it can be normal to not want to be around your loved little ones as much as you are used to. Talk to your partner about how your feeling, and get some time to take care of yourself daily; take a 30 minute walk whenever someone can watch the little ones for a bit, or take a bath, read a book, paint a picture...whatever is soothing to you. If the negative feelings toward your kids increase, or if you find yourself losing control and are afraid you may hurt them, talk to your OB-GYN immediately. Maternal depression is a very real syndrome that can turn your life upside-down and make you feel like you don't know who you are anymore; it can also be treated and you can feel better. Don't feel embarrassed or ashamed about asking your doctor to evaluate you - it could help you and your kids.
