Sunset Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 I feel like a bad mum, my children are 5 and 7 yet I just feel like I have no energy or enthusiasm to want to play with them. I get annoyed easily at things they do. I love them to bits and feel bad about being so unattentive but have gotten myself into a rut. Anyone out there feel the same/similar?

Storyrider Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Yes, I struggle with this constantly. If I am fatigued and depressed it is worse. I just try to take things one step at a time, remember to enjoy the positives. And it is mainly your job to teach them, feed them, make sure they are safe and loved. Keeping them entertained is not your main function, no matter how much they want it to be. Playing with them is nice, but you aren't their playmate primarily, you are their mother.
