This is my first time on here. I have a 19 month old son. He is my first child. I had to find a place where I could go and release some of my feelings instead of going to friends/family and having them think I'm failing or thinking I am a horrible person. This is so much harder than I ever expected. I am 32, graduated college, married, and have a descent job and at times, I feel like I'm losing it. I can not imagine how it would be to be 16 and have a child. My son is very very active. He never wants to eat, he occasionally still wakes up at night, I have to put him to sleep every night, he still has not said 1 word and at times it is hard for me to take him in public. Of course, I have talked to the doctor about all of these issues and these are not things he is currently concerned about. But all of these issues worry me and drain me. I work during the day and my husband works at night. So I am alone with my son in the evenings. I work with my son everyday on his speech. It's just about a daily struggle to get him to eat and sleep. I am just overwhelmed and I could not even imagine having another. People try to question my parenting skills and that makes me feel even worse. I really am trying. I just hope this gets easier.
