babysitting

Ughhh i have to tell someone but i just want to pull my hair out because I'm babysitting a 5month baby boy and a 2yr old boy. Being pregnant i have no patience. Before i would be able to babysit like nothing but now I'm just like fml. I had to babysit them last night and the kids mom said they fall asleep easy well she lied i was up all night with the baby. I hope I'm not like that with my own child has anyone gone through this. And why am i so impatient with these kids and feeling like this oh and by the way I'm having a girl can this be why I'm acting like this...?

I haven't told anyone because i don't want them to judge me talking **** to me because i can't even take care of these baby boys and I'm pregnant.... :((
I dont like being pregnant i have so many mixed emotions

I had the same problem. Before I found out I was pregnant I was snapping at every little thing my niece and nephew did and I would feel so bad I would walk away and just cry because I practically raised them so I had a strong bond with both of them but, than when I found out and it kinda made sense. I still feel bad for yelling at them all the time.

It IS really hard to be a parent.  There were nights in which I felt I 'might' be going a tiny bit insane.  I was like in my head screaming 'go to sleep!!!!!' while rocking my baby.  Some handle it better than others.  You do hear of some parents snapping and having a really hard time dealing with it.  If that happens, you just need to make sure to ask for help.  Parenting can be overwhelming.  Knowing when you are maybe feeling overwhelmed is so important to call your mom or a friend and just saying "I need a break".  Hang in there.  peace

Its okay girl when it's ur own kid it's totally different. Its still frustrating as hell but not as bad when it's your baby. You got this, and never be afraid to ask for help.
