I did not have a new post for today. But I saw this on a forum – not one I frequent often, but I think it is not an “unusual sentiment:” “I pretty much feel the same way. I love my daughter with all of my heart, but I’m so misearable…she cries sometimes and I… [Read more…]

I did not have a new post for today. But I saw this on a forum – not one I frequent often, but I think it is not an “unusual sentiment:” “To be perfectly honest, I don’t love this. My baby is cute and snuggly, but this is even harder than I thought. I was not… [Read more…]

Everybody keeps telling me being a mother is the best job in the world. I miss my other job -my real job - where I had a great salary and could leave work and go home. I have this job. It is a job and I can’t tell anyone it is not the best job. Mother,… [Read more…]

This is a comment I received in response to post # 72 – and seeing as it is Woman’s Day on the 9 August, I thought this might be a fitting thing to have today. I hope secret poster # 72 reads it, and maybe there are other people out there reading this and it… [Read more…]

I feel like the worst mom in the world! I work full time and study part time, so I cant always spend as much time with my son as I want to. I am doing this for us, so that in a few years time I can get a good job where I can work… [Read more…]

<this is not really the right place for this, but I came across this ‘confession’ and it made me catch my breath in my throat……> As I sit here and run my hand across my 30 week pregnant belly I feel him move feel him sleep in my back feel his strong kicks and I… [Read more…]

I have a love/hate relationship with motherhood. I love my daughter to death, but I don’t always love being a parent. I had to put a lot on hold and change a lot of thing when I had her. I can understand how some people might feel that way. I don’t judge anyone who does… [Read more…]

I feel so uplifted by all of you and how brave you are to voice what you have. I’m new here and was looking for advice on creches, and find this ******, which touches me to the core. I dread having sex with my husband. My boy is 2 yrs 4 months, and when he… [Read more…]

I hate that my husband who comes home late after going to the bar for a few drinks – while I am stuck at home because obviously someone has to care for the baby. Recently married, newborn son, USA.

Every day from about 3pm, I wish it was 7h30pm already, so that my kids can go to bed, and I can have some silence! I feel I love my son(first born) more. I love hugging and kissing him, but my little girl irritates the crap out of me, and I feel ‘uncomfortable’ showing her affection. Ok,… [Read more…]

I’m in a really bad place at the moment. I think everything has just gotten to me – the loss of the twins, the passing of my dad… I just feel so emotionless. My husband has spent the whole week-end trying to find out what is going on, because I just shut down. I tried telling him… [Read more…]

I absolutely HATE what I look like currently, but can’t get myself to do something about it. And I fear that what I look like will make my husband love me less. Mother, married, 2 young children, South Africa

I sometimes tell my son, who is really so cute with the things he says, to shut up. I mean, what is wrong with me? OK, granted, it’s only when his sister is also crying in the car, but still. How can I be so mean? Mother, married, 2 young children, South Africa

My dirtiest little secret is that, although I love my little girl and love seeing her little face, even at night, I have visions of harming her by shaking her etc. when I so desperately want to go back to sleep and she doesn’t. I will never harm her, but the fact that I get these visions… [Read more…]

I feel so uplifted by all of you and how brave you are to voice what you have. I dread having sex with my husband. My boy is 2 years, 4 months, and when he was about a year I went to my GYNE and asked why I have no sex drive. He said, relax it will… [Read more…]

Something else I often get to think about is what my life would have been with one child only. Now I don’t want only one of my kids so can’t tell you which one if I only had one – I love them all – but sometimes I do think to myself – why the hell… [Read more…]

I have never told anyone this, not even my husband, but when my first daughter was born I had a moment of utter terror, that my life would never be the same again. I thought that everything would be easier if she died in the hospital. I took it back right away, but have never forgiven myself… [Read more…]
