Im not blaming the OH's but sometimes they can't understand, especially if working full time and getting some break from the baby and not being stuck inside with "goo goo gaa gaa" as conversation lol. If you're with a screaming baby 24/7 it can be very stressful and you get so angry and stressed (obviously not at your baby, but in general). A lot seems to be expected of the mum as well and sometimes (well I have felt like this, don't know about anyone else) you just want to storm out the house and go do something on your own for a while.

You said your OH is good though Wobbles, and mine is too.. very supportive and tries his hardest even when he is tired from being at work all day. I couldn't imagine being a single mum, it must be so hard.. my mum brought 2 of us up with nothing and it's only since having my own baby that I can really understand how hard it must have been and appreciate what shes done for me!

aww *hugs* i'm sorry caitlin isnt feeling well! have you tried some gripe water for her tummy? I've heard it works really well for gas etc!

I wouldnt worry too much about being down- its hard as a mommy to see your baby in pain or not feeling well! Even now- Jack is a year old- and i still feel sad and worried and down when he is sick! He has a cold right now and i look at him and just want to cry bc i feel so bad for him bc he cant breathe out of his nose, its stuffy and hes coughing

I hope she feels better real soon!

** Oh and i agree Tilly - there have been MANY times when Jack is just crying full on (moreso lately, before he got sick) and id love to hand him over to someone and just go out and do whatever! Being a mommy is tough work!**

Wobbs sweetie, it just shows how very much you love your Caitlin, that you're upset when she is. It's natural to feel frustrated and upset when you can't do anything for her, cause she's your baby and you love her so very much, you want her to be happy, you hate it when she's upset - it's a mothers love sweetheart

Really hope Caitlin is feeling better today x
