I know this may sound stupid, but I feel kinda disconnected from my son. He is 14 months old, but very delayed and we have been through a lot. I just feel like I can't do it right nd he is never happy when i TRY TO PLAY WITH HIM, SO i JUST GIVE UP. i AM TOO SCARED TO TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT IT BECUASE I FEEL LIKE IT MEANS I AM A BAD MUM.
Supa star - you are not a bad mum at all! I imagine a lot of people in the same situation would feel the same. Have you seen a speech therapist or OT? They can help you with games you could play with him and different ways to engage him. Or how about a simple walk or trip to the park? Maybe just being outside taking in all his surroundings might be enough to keep him happy? Good luck!
i think you should talk to someone - perhaps a counsellor in your area? i saw a counsellor when i was going through a rough patch and it helped so much.... and made me realise how normal i was! i highly recommend talking it through with someone who can help
The mere fact that you acknowledge the problem enough to post in here about it shows that you are not a bad mum . Speak to your MCHN or another trusted health professional... be upfront like you have been in here... they will admire your awareness, not judge you. Have a go, seek help, for both you and your son's sake. Let us know how it goes
