i just went through the worst week ever since becoming a mom. my son is almost 16mo and last week i could do nothing to make him happy!!! trust me you are not a bad mom for having these feelings it is very natural, raising children was not intended for single moms(that is why is takes two) but for whatever reason here we are raising our children by ourselves.. so pat yourself on the back and be proud because what you are doing is the toughest job ever(even if there are 2 parents) always try to give yourself some of lifes little pleasures, when your baby is napping don't bother trying to hurry and clean up or do the wash or whatever what you need to do is take a bath, paint your toes or fingers, read a book or mag or just something to make you feel like you again

Your not a bad mom, having a baby is very stressful. My husband is in the Army so I'm pretty much a single mom to 2 boys. The oldest is 2 and the youngest is almost 8 months old and I feel just the way you do at times. Its completely normal. Try to set a little alone time to yourself at least once a week, it really helps. Just have one of your friends or family members watch the baby for a little bit so you can do that. Best of luck to you and congrats on being a mommy.

I am not a single mom but I am alone alot and no I feel that way aswell and when I get out I feel way better and feel like I can take care of my baby better because I am happy too. That is perfectly normal, and if you can live your baby with her grandparents or something at least once a week you will be doing your baby a favor because you will be a healthier happier mom, moms are people and have needs too..so dont feel bad...treat yourself well you are very important to your baby and taking care of yourself invovled getting out once in a while ok.

You are not a bad mom for feeling that way. Most single moms are lucky if they get to go to the bathroom by themselves. Everyone needs some down time. Once you have had some R&R you will feel better.

Your not a bad mom. Everyone needs a break once in a while... its perfectly normal. You should do something with friends or alone if you prefer once in a while.... you deserve it! being a full time mom is stressful at times... just relax it'll be ok ;)
