    Mummy meltdowns

    Please tell me I'm not the only one who's had one!

    Mine came when Annika was about three months old. She had screamed all day, and chucked over seemingly everything in the house (major reflux baby). I had burnt tea, and my back was killing me. Crunch time came when Annika chucked through my hair!!! Not pleasant at all. Lets just say DH had to take over for a little while lol.

    Definately not alone Jade. For me - the end of the third or fourth day straight with DD and NO DH around at all. DD screaming non-stop or being overly fussy. Things going wrong around home. Family politics. All adds up to Mummy Meltdown. I have friends I can call on but find it easier to just put her in the pram and go for a walk/run. Settles her down (normally) and lets me get my frustration out. If DH is home he usually gets yelled at (poor guy) and gets given DD so I can take a break.

    I wish I'd only had one! *LOL*

    You are definitely not the only one, its a tough gig being a mum/chef/cleaner/wife all at the same time. Talk about multi-tasking

    LOL Ray... uhuh I hear ya!

    Yep I still have them, sometimes monthly, weekly even daily when I was at my worst (or the kids were ROFL). Its perfectly normal, just like we have bad days with work, or our partners or even parents our kids can get to us too. Its perfectly normal.

    Thanks ladies, lovely to know I'm not the only crazy one lol

    Nessa - One of my friends from school was called Anna Marika, and she sadly passed away from cancer when she was 16, so I choose the name Annika to honour her. Rose is a family name for my DH. How about you, sweet? How'd your little one come to have such a gorgeous name?
