Does anyone else have the 'I'm not a bad mother because...' internal pep talks while your baby cries?
Thomas was crying while I left him to go to the bathroom... I'm not a bad mother, but if I cross my legs any tighter my bladder will explode.
Thomas cried while Daddy tried to burp him... I'm not a bad mother Daddy needs to learn without me telling him how to do it and I'm not a bad mother, a lingering burp will cause havoc.
I'm not a bad Mother, I just want ONE picture of us together.
I'm not a bad mother, but I haven't eaten in 15 hours and I can't butter toast with one hand.
I hate to let him cry and feel so guilty, but sometimes I just need to eat, pee or shower. I catch myself pep talking all the time explaining to Thomas and myself that I love him, I'm not a bad mother, but I need to get x y and z done.
Oh Mummy!
