Overwhelmed Mom Takes A Very Short Break From Parenting, Husband Ends Up Ruining It For Her, This Leads To A Discussion About "Hurtful Helping"

I have severe PPD that would last until the kiddo is 6 to 10 months. Sometimes, I have to make myself grow out of it and do 3 things of kindness for myself and others to really see and hear what they’re trying to do.

I am a mom of four going on 5, I am a freelance writer, digital artist, a college student taking a break from the online life, and a stay-at-home wife. I remembered my husband did that once, but I was lucky to get five minutes. Shockingly, I didn’t spazz. Instead, I placed the tiny baby next to me (baby number 3) and tossed on my headphones. Hell, screw yall, I am about to get my peace. I have to control my PTSD and stress. Sometimes my depression kicks in aggressively, and it’s hard to control it surrounding by all the noise. I love children, but once it is too loud, it gets to me, and I have to practice crowd control. Now approaching five kids, melatonin, Yo Gabba Gabba, and outside time are my best friends. Plus, I am teaching them how to help each other and a lot of family values.

But sometimes they want mom. I watched some kids, when I had no kids, in church. One kid kept crying. Do you want this, that? Weeeeeeh. Nothing helped. Then her mom came and it was okay. She wanted mom lol.
