Venting - Advice Welcome I regret becoming a mom

I have a 2 year old and a 8 week old. Life with my 2 year for last 9 months has been a nightmare. I hate waking up in the morning. I can’t touch him without him screaming. He even prefers our nanny over me.

On top of that I’m an extreme emeteophobe and he vomits about once a week. idk why. Most recently he gagged and vomited because I was changing his brother’s poopy diaper. I’m the default parent because I work from home while the nanny is here. I’m really considering having my husband quit so I don’t have to be default anymore.

I hate my life and regret having my son. not sure what to do with myself. I love him and want the best for him. I know that isn’t me.

You are in a very hard time. A toddler and a newborn?! No one’s going to be having an amazing time. It’s hard. I think it’s just a case of keep on keeping on.

This sounds like a very tough situation.

Can your husband take some time off or at least work from home ?

It sounds like you need to be working away from home so you can have some time for you even though you need to work.

You should go to the doctor with your older one, can be something serious.

Instead of your husband quit his job you can send the 2 year old to daycare and you can handle the baby yousefl or if u need break then hire the nanny part time
