Help managing new parent stress.?

First, get HELP! I don't mean go out and hire a nanny but ask friends and family to give you a hand - if for nothing else than to give yourself a little break. Don't feel bad about it either; makes us better mommies! Then, let go of all the thoughts you have/had about how it is "supposed to be" and just see how it is! It's a hard adjustment to make for anyone; harder the younger you are! You WILL BE FINE, I promise. All new mom's feel inadequate, unprepared, and stressed. It will get better...and then worse...and then better again! Don't worry about the next "bad thing"; live for those little magic moments like when the baby smiles, you watch him sleeping, learns something new, etc.! Also, get a support system of other moms your age and older that you can talk to in person; establish a good relationship with your pediatrician and their office; read books about child development so you know what could possibly come up in the future and what you might do about it (and sometimes just be relieved that your child did not go through a certain stage!) Most of all? LOVE HIM and LOVE YOURSELF! You'll make mistakes; forgive yourself! Children are resilient...and so are YOU!

Im not really a mom but I have to take care of my baby brother because my mom is the most terrible dead beat mom of all time ..

Im a cashier at a grocery store when im not in school

all of that money goes twards the babys diapers , formula , clothes , etc .

but I feel just fine knowing I have enough money to help the child ..

Even though I do pay the bills every other month with my savings ..

But ask a parent for the help on the bills until you can find a very well paying job ..

I hope this is somewhat help .

I know how you feel! I hate to say it but, having kids means your 'partying days' are over for a while. If you have close friends or family around see if someone can watch bub for you so you can go get your hair or nails done, treat yourself to something nice or go out to lunch with the girls or something! Being a mummy is hard work and a little bit of 'me' time always helps to make you feel better =) hope that helps somehow..
