I suck as a mom today

We all have those days. Hugs!

You know that book "Go the Fuck to Sleep"?

It's popular for a reason. You're a fine mom. Being a mom is just sucky sometimes.

Today, Layla just kept whining. I said (in a surprisingly calm voice) "what is wrong with you?"
She stopped after that.

You don't suck. You are normal. Hang in there.

I like to call it "encouraging independent play".

Squirms doesn't want to be held, she is perfectly happy rolling around on a blanket or grabbing toys on her playmat/bouncer. So I let her do that.

Like I said in your other post, DD has been having those nights regularly. One night around 4 am I caught myself reciting the serenity prayer over and over while I rocked her back to sleep for the 6th time that night. Yeah, I felt pretty awful after that.

I ask dd that. A lot.

I asked ds that last night at 10, 11, 11:30......
