My Mother Is Making My Transition Into Motherhood Harder.
|
I'm 17 and have a 4 week old little girl. My mom has been great and has supported me throughout my pregnancy as well as since my daughter has been born. My problem is that she's been a little too great. I feel like she steps in too often and doesn't allow me to take care of my baby. I'm starting to feel that she doesn't have any confidence in me as a mother. I know that this wasn't ideal timing for having a baby, but I don't think that I'm a bad mother. How do I let her know that I appreciate everything she's done, but I need a little space to make this transition from teenager to mom?

Your mother cares you a lot it is very obvious. Maybe she is doing that because she misses the time when you were still a baby. That's how grandparents do. Especially that in your case, you are still too young to become a mother. Don't your mother wrong, she just want to help you. But you can ask her to let you be the mother and a parent of your child. Talk to her in a very nice and respectful way. I know your mother will understand you.
