@mercuryash Feeling like I need to have my shit together. I come from a big family where they all have multiple kids and frequently it's like "your house is messy? Imagine if you had more than 1!". It feels like we shouldn't be poor or mentally unwell or have a badly behaved child because we...

@alexd97 Honestly, they have help. I had mine in covid, alone, with semi present but not happy grandparents and a husband who worked night shifts. I developed psychosis, there were no baby groups, no support, no one to see. Just me and my colicky baby alone every second of the day either in the...
