Is it normal to get frustrated with crying baby?

Now I know when my mom says she wishes I was still a baby, she's lying. I hate when kids cry, I feel violent sometimes... But I usually just grab the kid, give him/her a sweet or something to play with or I hymn and they stop crying. Worst case the kid just stares at me for a bit and then bursts out again. I think this is just a way for the baby to express to the parent that there's something wrong because they obviously needs to learn how to speak. Also if there's a lot of negativity in the house a child can pick this up and respond in such a way. Try to be calm and joyful even if you don't mean it.

It's normal. We're mentally programmed to be distressed by the sound, so that we do something.

It's also normal to have days when we can't cope.

If the days where you can't cope are quite frequent, it's important you get some help and support.

All the best with it. You're not a bad mum. You walk away when you need to, to keep you and your baby safe.

Anybody who says that they do not get frustrated by the incessant crying of a child, no matter how much they love it, is a fucking liar. There are few more unpleasant sounds on this planet than the incessant crying of a baby, but that doesn't make it right to stop it out of frustration and/or anger.

I've heard stories of women who have felt the way you're feeling and I once watched a program and they said that closing the door and leaving your baby crying doesn't make you a bad parent, in fact it's necessary in conditioning the baby in the way not running back into the room when they cry teaches them that you're not gonna always come back rushing and the baby will stop crying after a little while. Hope this makes sense. Hang in there, you're doing the best you can and that's enough.

Some babies are much bigger criers than others, its totally normal to get upset or even feel resentful. Especially if you have done everything possible and they still cry. Having kids is one of the hardest jobs ever!
I had so much trouble adjusting to life with a baby that I decided to only have one and now hes 8. He wasn't colicky but he never slept well and breastfed constantly! I used to cry all the time and think I was a bad mom.
Ask someone you trust to help with your kids and take some time for yourself. The baby will only be a baby for a short time :)

I still feel guilty for shutting the door on my crying baby (over 40 years ago!) and sitting outside with my hands over my ears so I couldn't hear her. It only happened once, the rest of the time I walked and walked and patted and everything else anyone suggested, but she still cried...

This will pass, hang in there, get some support. I remember realising at the time that it was not normal or right for one woman to be stuck in a house by herself with one child.

Find or start a local mothers' group and remember, it will pass!

Its normal to feel overwhelmed.
Why not get a family member or trusted friend to babysit while you have a night out or time to yourself? doing this once or twice a month may help you.

Make sure to always check every reason a baby might cry...hurt, hungry, fever, attention.

Shake your baby. That will solve everything.
