After a few more weeks of incessant crying and tiresome nighttime feeds, I finally came to the conclusion that in my next life I will just stick with keeping dogs instead of getting a child! Yes I think I’m not a very good mother – definitely unlike what they always try to portray a mother to be – all sacrificial and saintly. Sleep deprivation definitely makes one go insane and cranky so sometimes I end up snapping at my poor Zaydeen to “SHUT UP or get thrown away!!!”. Of course after uttering such unforgiving words to my poor daughter, I will instantly feel guilty and needless to say feel like the world’s worst mum. It doesn’t help either when hubby is lying fast asleep snoring next to you totally ignorant to the din that baby is creating At times like that I just feel like giving him one big kick off the bed and of course that makes me end up feeling like world’s worst wife too.
Am I going crazy? Naggy? Intolerable?
Thank goodness NO. Luckily I just read an article in a motherhood magazine that states I am normal and these are feelings that all new mothers usually feel. Phew~~ I just got to believe there is an end to this “torture” and hang in there somehow. Meanwhile I’ll just continue wondering if it’s better to have a dog or a child. Let’s see, a dog doesn’t cry for food every 2 hours. A dog doesn’t need me to rock him to sleep. A dog doesn’t need burping after every feed and doesn’t vomit onto me either. A dog also isn’t slippery in the bath, nor does it have “wind” which causes it to cry for no apparent reason. A dog does however have real stinky pee and poo as compared to a child’s – at the moment that is!
Now if only I could hire a maid to help me out. But then nowadays everyone is saying maids are out to snare the husband and lead them astray. So now do I want to keep my husband or my sanity? :-p Well, if the husband was so easily tempted, then maybe better not to have such a husband anyway, right? Or is it better not to give the temptress the opportunity to enter the den??? Dilemma of the year…besides the dog and child debate of course.
And to think that baby crying peaks at their 8th week … aargh....more insane time ahead.
