This made me sad. I know we have all been there. If that person is out there, reading this blog right now, what advice would you give her about not wanting to be a mom anymore? I would say that it happens to all of us, we get tired, frustrated, and have those days. Join some mom groups where you can talk to others, join our forum where you can talk about it (and get advice) when you need help, and reach out to someone.
I am sure there are lots of moms that feel like you do.
Have you ever had a feeling where you were just at the end of your rope?

This is sad! I think we’ve all had those days when you just can’t take it anymore. Those days do pass and things will get better. ((hugs)) to whoever she may be.
Hopefully it was a moment that passed and she has a friend she can talk to. She’s not alone – she needs to know that.
I agree with all of you- that is sad. I have to say, I did feel that way almost before the job even began. When my daughter was first born, for various reasons my milk never came in, so she pretty much cried 24 hours a day for the first ten days. I remember one evening sitting alone with her in my dim room thinking, “Dear GOD, she is not going away.” It got a lot easier when we figured out what was wrong- but in the dark times, it’s definitely best to talk to other mothers about how you’re feeling.
I wonder if that person was doing research for a paper or a book or something. I try to be optimistic about these sorts of things.
That is sad. I hope she found some comfort and humor here.
Yep, been there, then I look at the forums here or read someone’s blog and they’re having a day about the same as mine and I don’t feel so alone anymore. We all have days like that. And then I ask my husband if he minds if I leave for a couple hours because I’m going to lose it if I don’t. Thankfully, he gets it. And I come home a happy mommy again.
ahw, that makes me so sad too! I do have those moments, especially now while Audrey is in the testing stage! But you just have to take a big long deep breath and approach the situation from a different angle. All the hugs, kisses, smiles, and fabulous little things my daughter does definitely make the bad moments worth it. I say this mom needs to go visit the forum for some virtual pats on the back. All you moms are so awesome at that in there! I’m glad google sent her to momdot…cause this is definitely the best place to be. Everybody here is so supportive of everybody else.
I think we all have days where we think that. Being a mom has its ups and its downs, I have days where ithink just that-i Quit…but you cant just quit, i step outside an take in some fresh air.
I think you are right. We all have those days…but the next is always better. I really hope this is the case for that mom!
Maybe it’s a dumb question, but I can’t figure this out: How do you see what people type into Google and find your blog? Anyone help me out on this? Thanks!
There are days like that!! NOT FUN but I’ve learned to work through them.
Whew! And that is when you find a mommy place and moment. Hugs to that person and may someone come into their life who can bring hope and peace.
Oh, this hurts my heart! Being a mom is so hard sometimes, so I’m glad she’s looking for help.
that is VERY sad. I hope she confides in someone who will help her out!!
