Can I get nominated for worst parent of the year?

Question

My five year old is the only one who loves me, and I love him back My 6 month old hates me, and I don't know if Iove her either. I just take care of her like a mommy robot. My baby boy was NEVER like this. So, does this get me the worst mother of the year award? Since good mothers never admit their faults and never do anything but go on and on about how adorable teir baby under one year is?

Answer 1

I'll nominate you.

Answer 2

NEVER EVER PUT YOURSELF DOWN, ESPECIALLY AS A PARENT!!!
I am a single parent of one daughter. Trust me it gets ruff. Every child is different, even though both of your kids came from you, every child has their own personality. One kid maybe the sweetest baby ever and the second one is a terror! Thats ok, not every kid comes out is going to be an angel - but in their own way becuase they are innocent - trust me, them adorable babies you see on tv have thier days too.
I am a good mother, but sometimes overwhelmingness, and self-doubt can cloud your clear thoughts. You go thru what every mother (that loves and takes care of kids like you do) experiences. I make my mistakes, it takes me a while to realize that, but you are a great mother. I will admit that i can be wrong, and if i dont know i will find out - or let my mother tell me and i dont want to go there). Every parent makes a mistake, you are human and so am I. Dont beat yourself up. Im a single parent, and its a whole hell of a lot harder rasing a kid by yourself, than being married.
I know you can do this, someone's elses child maybe adorable, but dont look at other kids and wonder what YOUR faults are, take it into consideration that you are a loving, caring and wonderful parent.
And for the record, i would never ever nominate you for worst parent, i would give you the best parent that you are award.
Good luck!

Answer 3

Hi! I recommend for u to do something that u think Ur 6 month old will enjoy doing! And no! U can't be nominated worst parent of the year! I know that Ur a great parent! Since your baby is very little, month old baby's can be very fussy! Just let her get used to u and you'll see that she will grow up to love u very much! I can assure u this!

Answer 4

I went through this with my son and can definitely understand the "mommy robot" thing. I finally got help and was diagnosed with post pardum depression and was successfully treated for it. The hardest part was doing what you have already done, admitting that you feel this way and you don't think you should. You are not bad or abnormal. But you should get treatment before this gets worse. You don't want to look back and realize that you missed out on those first precious years with your daughter. Post pardum depression is very common but seems to be a taboo subject. We mothers think we must be head over heels for our children from day one and act like June Cleaver, this misconception has hurt a lot of women, and a lot of children. God bless and please, do get help for the sake of your whole family.

Answer 5

Boys are easier than girls, the majority anyways. That's the REAL reason you have boys first. Don't worry, just like throughout life, baby girls are more depended on you emotionally. But it does seem you may want to try some Lexapro or ask your dr. about post partum depression medicine. I went through the same thing. Sometime soon, you will look at her and a lightbulb will just go off in your head and in an instant you will fall in love.

Answer 6

first off, do you want to get a worst paernt of the year award?
second- i think that BAD mothers never admit their faults. good mothers can open thier eyes and see that they are having problems and make steps to change what is happening.
third- i really don't think that a 6 month old has the capacity to hate.
you'll be fine. just hang in there. it may just be that your son was totally different as an infant and you just have to get used to how your daughter is.

Answer 7

How can you say a 6-month old loves you or not. They are just babies and they change every month. All kids are not same. But, as a fact, all kids love their mothers, at least until they are grown-ups. So stop thinking unnecessary things and try to be a good mother.

Answer 8

i am a good mother, and i admit my faults all of the time. that is what makes you a good mother, knowing that you are not perfect.

as far as your daughter, she is feeding off of your tension and stress about her not liking you, which is not helping you at all. if you have fed and clothed her, and she is not wet, let her lay alone for a spell and RELAX. if she cries it is okay, it will help build her lungs. don't feel compelled to run and get her instantly, you will be stressed and you will start the process all over.

believe me, your daughter loves you, and you love her. it is normal to feel like you just wanna get away from them, i feel like that sometimes too. but remember you are the adult, so take control of the situation. RELAX, AND SHE WILL FOLLOW YOUR LEAD!

Answer 9

She doesn't hate you, that's all in your head. Every child is different and she is too young to distinguish between love and hate. You need to focus on her and have lots of help with her. I feel for you because there is no way I would have felt that way about my children. Sounds like you have some kind of depression or nerve problem. Please get some kind of help before you hurt her and maybe not even mean too.

Answer 10

My cousin went through something like this... it turned out she had post-partum depression. By the way, ONLY good mothers admit their faults and work on being a better parent.

Answer 11

sry but that is not an award. As for u r stated info u need 2 get closer 2 ur kids. Try talking 2 them.
