It doesn't make you a bad mom...trust me on this. My daughter and I are now having to be in counseling because of an incident last week that made me fly of the handle at her.
I have no "me time" at all. I'm a single mother of 2 kids, and I get no time to myself. My daughter's father died right after she was born, and my ex has nothing to do with his son, he wants no custody at all, which is okay with me, but that means I have both of my children all the time.
I love my children too, but I think if I had a little "me time" I wouldn't have gone off on my daughter last week. I don't think I'm a bad mother for having done so, I'm just a mother in need of a break. If you don't take breaks, you will break down like I did.
Please for the love of your children, take breaks for yourself.

no way! im a mom too... i know i need a break sometimes...
the worst thing you could do is NOT take a break sometimes, because your irritation and stress will start to affect everyone in the house...
you know the saying
when mom is happy, the whole house is happy
besides, you arent just a mother, you are also a person, taking care of the person will help make you a happy and better mother
and the fact that it concerns you so much shows that you are definitly a good mom, it means you are trying your best to keep everything in check and to not be selfish
taking care of yourself once and a while doesnt make you selfish!

No, it doesn't make you a bad mother. Kids start sucking the life out of you as they are being formed in the womb and it seems like they never stop. Just ask YOUR mom!! But, seriously, we all need a break at times and you are perfectly normal for feeling that way.

No, honey. It makes you normal. I find that I need "me time" too. It helps me to feel like I still have an identity other than that of a wife and mother. I love being a wife and a mom, but sometimes you just have to get away and just be a woman. Amen?

Yes, we all get tired and wanting some time for ourselves. Nothing wrong if we ask for some needed space since we have to take care of ourselves, too.
How can we be good mothers when we keep on neglecting our needs.

Of course that doesn't make you a bad mother. It makes you a human being!

No! It means you have been working hard and you are only human and you need a break or you will go insane. Don't feel bad it is completely normal, I know.
