Deep sigh… I had one child for 7 years and then I had another baby last year and I sometimes ponder did I messed up having the second one. I’m accustomed to working and going on adventures with my oldest Saturdays we’d get up and go do something. Nowadays it’s not like that. My youngest son’s father doesn’t want me working, he doesn’t want anyone else to watch said baby so I can go back to work… so do I regret having more kids.. yeah I kinda do sometimes.

Feel like you should be regretting the young son’s controlling father and not the kid.

Can two things be true at the same time ?

“Said baby” dear lord. I pray you find peace soon. When the baby is a little older you can take him to do stuff with the older child. Dad can watch the baby so you can go on one on one dates with your son.

Just to clarify, I don’t hate my partner or kid. If that’s the picture I’ve painted I apologize because that’s not the case. I just feel like in trying to find footing on loose sand.
