Today, I found one of my mom's old diaries that dated back to my infant days. I couldn't help but read a little. I'm now in great concern over how many times my mom wrote that she wanted to dunk me in the toilet or throw me against a wall. FML

I'm sure you'll understand one day, not that every mother wants to use violence, but how stressful having a child can be. Maybe your mother went through post natal depression but wasn't diagnosed, it happens. Just let it slide, I'm sure she's happy now. She might not want to remember the feelings she had. :)

That's what happens when you read personal things you shouldn't be reading in the first place.

Don't be concerned at all. You will understand once you have children.

At least your mom's wasn't filled with sexual fantasys. Shudders* I never want to meet anyone named Fabio now.

Hormones are a bitch to a lot of females after giving birth and even up until about 2 years later. Scary enough these thoughts are normal, she didn't act on them or you wouldn't be here writing this. Be thankful she didn't act on them and think about how life has been since you can remember.

Think about the lyrics to rock a bye baby. It's common.

Honestly, it is normal to feel so exasperated with a newborn to have those thoughts cross your mind. Severe sleep deprivation (waking up every 2hrs), crying, constant diaper changing, hormones making you feel even more moody. Its worse if your baby has colic and screams for HOURS nonstop and nothing will console him/her. If your baby is sick or has diarrhea, teething they are more whiny and cry more....hearing the constant crying which is surprisingly loud will wear down even the toughest person.

Your entire life is set around your baby's sleep, nap and feeding cycle. It is tough the first year of being a first time mom.

I have an 11-month-old and I can tell you that your mom's thoughts were completely normal. My angel was colicky and there were nights when she'd sleep only two hours or not at all. I started thinking about giving her up for adoption or just taking her to some veld and leaving her there. It's HARD raising a baby, you'll find out when you have your own

It's cool just tell her and ask her if she's ok now

35, Something tells me your role in your childs life is heavily supported and that your girlfriend is the one who does most of the work when your parents aren't able to help out.
