Oh Kass you are most definitely not alone!!!!!! You are not a bad mother if you feel down sometimes!!!!!!!! You should read back over some of our posts. I don't think a single women of us haven't felt down at one time or another. I know that I've had a day when I was waiting at our front door for my DH (dear or sometimes d!ckhead I use husband) with Olivia in my out stretched arms and instead of saying hello I said take your daughter, take your daughter, take your daughter. You have two seconds and I'm letting go!! Poor bugger had only taken one step in the door and was greeted with that. Some days we cry just because we are so exhausted and can't do it for another minute or left them crying in their cot while we go cry in our room and sometimes we crave adult conversation and attention. It is so completely norma and nothing makes you a bad mother for these feelingsl!!!! Can't wait to get to know you. Do you have msn? Some of us chat on there too.
