Please go see your doctor. Make an appointment today. Take your kids with you if you have, but make an appointment. You just had a baby, you have a 3 year old, your life is very chaotic right now You are not an evil person or a terrible mother. If this is postpartum depression, you can't help that. You did not make your mind and body act this way. Treatment and help is available. You should get a support system - online, in person, on the phone, whatever. A therapist could also help - a marriage one. You and your husband need to work out your issues. I am not a doctor, I am a mother of 2 kids - 3 and 16 months, I am 26. Please keep that in mind with anything I say, no expert. I have felt that way, occasionally. I would say that your feelings are completely "normal" part of motherhood, occasionally. We all have bad days as moms and sometimes we all want to run away. It sounds like you are not "sometimes" or "occasionally" feeling this way. Please, please, please get help for yourself. There is no shame in that, at all. the other side of the coin is, sometimes, woman aren't meant to be full time moms. they just don't want to do that. Shame in that, no. It is what it is. That would be the time to get back in the workforce and find a good day care center. Regardless, you still need some help. Please don't think I am judging or being rude. I just truly believe that you could really benefit from professional assistance. Good luck!!

The kid's of today have learned very young to expect immediate gratification.
It really says more about the parents than the kids.
With all the electronic sources of entertainment out there now, it's not hard to understand why if given a choice, they would choose to entertain themselves electronically.
Most parents nowadays are both working, which has resulted in less time and desire to sit with children and teach them from a young age, the simple joy of books and imagination. It also doesn't help that many parents don't sit and read, themselves. A child is much more apt to pick up a book, if they have a roll model for reading, instead of plopping in front of the TV or computer.

Because they have weak, uninterested parents!
More and more parents don't supervise, organize or take don't take on a hands on approach in reponding to their childrens activities. It's much easier to send them to their rooms, or not get involved. That's why their on myspace.
Most parents aren't trying to stimulate their childrens mental abilities by challenging them to read a book every month, and then have a discussion about it. They are certainly not interested in taking them on field trips to either the museum, shelters (to assist other people who are in need), to parks, theater, hiking etc. Obviously this society has created microwave children that belong to "don't give a dang" parents....
Parents these days fill their children with toys, very expensive clothes, games, and other worthless material crap like that in hopes that the children will not notice they really are setting a good example of what a parent should be, or in hopes that it will show how much they are loved.

Well we never see them reading books because you think of books as things with covers. Kids also read faster now than they used to. When a new Harry Potter book comes out or is about to come out Kids are always reading, but they finish the book so quickly you never see them reading it. Also books can be electronic...so you might see someone on their palm pilot and they're actually reading...or they might be reading on their laptop.

They are dumb little dip****s, also I guess they're so infatuated with something new. Not all kids are on myspace or playing video games.

Kids who don't read have parents who don't read. If, once the child is old enough to read by himself, his parents don't read stories to him any more, and he never sees them enjoying a book alone, he will receive the impression that reading is just for small children and for school work.
It's just like drinking, smoking, racism, or any other habit. It's just that reading is a GOOD habit, one that should be modeled.
