Health, Mental health, Relatable and Kids: It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

Today, I'm so tired from constantly soothing my crying 2 month-old baby that I've started trying to soothe inanimate objects with baby talk whenever they make a noise. My fridge started beeping and I began an involuntary chorus of, "It's OK darling, shhhhhh, it's alright." FML

Today, I realized that my baby stops crying loudly whenever I turn on the vacuum cleaner. I'm either stuck with a fussy baby all day, or the roaring sound of a vacuum cleaner. FML

Today, my 9 month-old son realized he is just as tired as I am. His solution is to cry loudly. My solution was to cry along with him. FML

Today, while breast feeding my 7 month-old before his nap, I hummed his favorite song as I rocked. He pulled away, stared at me, and cried til I shut up. FML

Today, I was putting my 2 year old to bed, and I began to sing to her. She reached up, put her finger over my lips, and said, "Shhh, Mommy." FML

Today, I finally got my fussy newborn back to sleep after the creaking of my chair woke her. I then crept two rooms over and opened a pack of chips, the crinkle of which woke her again. FML

Today, at 2:30am, I heard my baby crying on the monitor. As I got out of bed, she stopped crying and started laughing. There's nobody else in the house. FML

Today, my dad decided that the best way to alleviate my crippling depression is to talk to me in a baby voice. FML

Today, I was woken up at 3:00 am to the sound of a tape recording of a baby crying, loudly. This has been going on for 3 nights, non stop. Why? because I brought up the subject of having a baby with my wife. Clearly, you can see where she stands. FML

Today, I saw my 4 year-old daughter singing and dancing, so I decided to sing along. As soon as I started singing she said, without blinking her eyes and super calmly, "Could you please stop doing that?" FML

Make it stop

Today, I sang a sweet lullaby to my two year-old son. In the process, he smacked me in the face and told me to please stop. My sister sings to him all the time and he loves it. FML

Yes, and hopefully OP has a partner to help take care of the baby because it sounds to me like OP needs a nap.

As long as you don't abandon your precious appliances. The Brave Little Toaster ruined my childhood. Best of luck with your offspring though.

at about the 4 month time frame, you go for long drives to sooth the kid, no particular place, just drive. at 6 months you end up at the hospital wondering if something is physically or mentally wrong.

It's a totally acceptable mummy-brain syndrome. My aunt started to order a meal in that baby-talk voice, before she realised it and corrected herself.

My mom did she often rocked random things without noticing. Like, she was once on line at the store holding a box of diapers rocking it until someone sled what she was doing.
