I just had a baby a couple of monthes ago, and recently I have had a lot of pain, and have been feeling very tired, consantly tired. I went to my GP and she diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, and it just keeps getting worse and more disabiling as time goes on. She said that I need to get a full nights rest, and take it easy. Because of this, I have quit my job, and now I have hired a nanny full time, my husband can't get out with our newborn because he works and needs his rest.
My sister calls me a bad mom, she is always telling me that because I have hired a nanny, but I did it because in my condition I can't be the mom my daughter needs. She stops by my house just to ask me why I don't keep it as clean as hers, and makes a point of telling me how much she does with her kids and the finishes by asking why I don't do the same things? She critisizes me for not working and tells me I am lazy and ignorent.
How can I tell her to stop? Do you think I am a bad mom?
