You could be feeling some resentment towards your son because you have lost part of what use to be your life. Going out and drinking isn't that important anyway, besides you're saving money right?
In all honesty I would recommend going and seeing your GP and discussing your feelings with him/her. It's important that you are honest with your feelings so the right help can be given to you. I would talk to your partner too, see if you can arrange some "you" time... ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

yea that was what i was thinking about the resent ment but i just lose my temper that much more quickly now. sometimes i would just put him in his cot so i can have time out and do something even how small it is and i dont want fiance to touch me.... or though i have caught up with mates/ex's and been soo close to cheating ... i know thtas its a good thing that i dont go out anymore but i see all my firends doing it and my partner had all ready gone through that stage anyway cause hes older..
thankyou for your thought i do but dont think that there is something wrong (maybe its i dont want to amit it) |

Yeah it sounds to me like u just need to have some you time again. Now your son is older, have u thought about having him in daycare or similar for a few hrs a week to give u some time alone? It is great for them to have social/ learning time with other kids also.
If u have only recently had these feelings then is unlikely to be PND. You should definalty have a chat with your partner. Is there someone that can look after your son fr an evening or a night so you 2 can go on a 'date' tgether,..workd wonders for us,..remindss you of why u r together. Having a baby is a life changeing thing, and its great that u 2 have suvived it together,..you can 'have a life' agian,..but I dount u would actually watnt your previously life back,..I dont even like getting drunk now cs I worry about my girl even when someone else has her for the night. |
