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.

Next time the baby cries, beat your husband to the punch and ask HIM why the baby is crying.

That gave me such a flashback... When I was about 7 my mom had an operation that was supposed to be routine but turned life threatening and she was in a coma for a couple of days. Dad was in charge for the three of us with very little experience (he was not unwilling, he worked 24/7 so he rarely had a chance to do fed us, give us a bath etc.). He surely was also very worried and afraid but held it together for us. He was doing quite good, but then it came to dress me and comb me for school. His sausage fingers were not for braiding little girl hair... I was mortified by how I looked but didn't want to make him sad so I pretended to like it and went to school, to be mocked all day.

My dad is seriously old skool, he's 82 this year. He was considered slightly odd in 1969 because he was present at my birth, and some of his attitudes are a little... unrefined. But he changed nappies for all 4 of his kids, fed us, took charge when mum was incapacitated with migraine. My sister and I have agreed never to mention his attempts at hair braiding but the point is he tried.
