[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the same as your DH except I’m the mom. I didn’t compromise though-I believed I wanted a 2nd. I just severely underestimated how hard it would be.

I just didn’t expect it to be this hard. I didn’t expect to hate it this much.

I’m getting therapy and taking antidepressants. But I’m not sure they are actually helping. There isn’t a pill that will make me like parenting.

I try to hide my negativity, but that takes it’s toll too.

I do love my kids, so so much. They are really wonderful beings.

But I’m not sure I should have had them or that I’d do this all again. [/quote]

I'm in the same boat as you. So surprised how hard it is after the cute baby phase. I have two boys and one has special needs and other is adhd so it adds on to why I am so depressed and find no joy in being a parent. Husband is never around to help, always working or doing his own thing. He says he loves having kids but never around to parent them. Feel bad for our kids.[/quote]

I, too, hate parenting. Im not even sure I like my kids that much. I don’t enjoy playing with them and I long for daycare drop off on Monday morning. I actually ramped you my career after having kids and volunteer for all the travel no one on my team wants to do. My DH is helpful and a good dad, I’m the dud. I make decent money so I can make their lives comfortable without me around.

When the weekend rolls around I get so angry and anxiety- ridden around them. I know I’m a failure and I should probably bow out of their lives but that may screw them up more. [/quote]
