Recently after the previous blog my little princess has become more cranky and cried alot and throw temper alot until I really stress and keep my mind in a whirl. Thinking of foolish things, like just letting her cry and covering my ears or just put her somewhere where I cannot hear her cries. I really guess this is how mums go into depression. Therefore, I kept telling myself I cannot think so much, I must be happy, think of her cries as sing song, and do deep breathing.
Suddenly I feel I am not cut to be a mum, hearing baby cry and I want to shirk responsibility which I think is not the right way. Maybe after all, I am not prepared to be one. I really wondered how my other friends fare. Maybe I should learn how to console a cranky baby. Even when she breastfed for a while she just cry out loud throwing temper.. I really wish I could know what she is trying to tell me... wish she can talk now.. rather than me guessing..
But anyway, I guess I need time and continuous support from Mr. I don't wish to put pressure on him as well kept saying I cannot be a good mum.. I, too, just need loads of consoling and supporting as well.
Now, I guess is the real time to plan what will happen after 3 months when I return back to work.. I don't wish to be separate from my girl..

Being a parent can present lots of new experience in life, just like learning maths in primary school, baking a cake, or roller-blading for the first time. The more you practice, the better you become and after a while, it's like second nature to you.
You're frustrated and stressed because you don't know how to react to Chloe's cries and how she feels because we're all used to communicating in languages. Chloe is also learning how to communicate too, but now, her only language is crying. Both of you need lots of patience with each other.
No one can be the perfect parent no matter how much preparation you've done, the moment you decided to write about how you feel in this blog, you've already taken the best option to release your tension. And I think you did it because you love Chloe and your trying to push yourself to be a better mom created the stress for yourself.
Take time off for yourself, a quarter or half an hour everyday, when Chloe's asleep, to recollect your thoughts, do something you like doing, learn something new or just to free your mind and relax and do nothing.
I strongly believe you have what it takes to be a good parent, keep learning and one day soon, you'll graduate from parenting school with a Masters Degree :-)
Wishes of good health and lots of smiles to your wonderful family.
Thanks for your encourgement comment on this Xmas day! Remember to come on her one month okie!
