Oh yeah, I sure do remember what that was like! Sheer exhaustion!!! It isn’t easy, but take it from someone who has been alone since I was 2 and a half month pregnant, then alone after the baby was born – go home. Yes, you will be tired, and yes, it won’t be easy, but that kind of negativity just isn’t worth it. You will learn very quickly how to manage him on your own, trust. You can do it!

MOVE OUT! You dont need more stress in your life, your mum, as well intentioned as she may be, is clearly not ready to take on the grandparent role, as opposed to the parent role, which is your job. She needs to learn to back off and stop being so negative. What you need is love and support, and your clearly not getting that. Your a great mum, just keep doing what your doing, and make sure your mum understands this is YOUR BABY, and you will raise him the way you think is best for him.

Have you thought about wearing him? Ok, I mean like a sling type thing, that way he’s still close to you, and your hands are free to do whatever you need to.

I agree- it might be a lot easier without having to deal with you mom. You’ll adjust, I promise. (But, of course, these damn kiddos will throw you a curve-ball at least every few months!)

You CAN do it on your own! It may even be easier without the added stress of your mom there. It will get easier! The first couple months are hard! You have to get used to a tiny human being relying on you for EVERYTHING!! As time goes by he will learn to self soothe, and hopefully wont be so needy!! Just keep doing what youre doing, and you’ll get through it!!
