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. :)

Jonisapanda: Maybe you pay for the things the baby needs but it's kind of impossible to have a job at 14. So I suppose your parents are paying.

It's normal to think that way. I have no kids myself, but I know how it can be to get so worn out and stressed that you want to harm people you love. It's happened to me with my sibling and even my own mum. I've caught myself wishing the latter would get in a car accident on the way to work, or imagining strangling my sister, all because I was exhausted and stressed from a busy, frustrating, and totally draining life. It doesn't mean anything. I didn't mean any of it, and in fact felt bad about thinking that way later. I'm sure your mom felt bad too once she calmed down. Trust me, if she'd really meant those things, she'd have acted on them. Instead she wrote them down, which probably helped her get some of that frustration out. If she ever goes back and reads those entries again, I'd bet she feels awful for thinking that way about her own baby. Don't worry too much about it.

Ydi for being a horrible baby, apparently. And for reading someone's diary, especially when you're one of the main characters.

...You are a moron. "being a horrible baby?" Like you weren't noisy, fussy, and hard to deal with when you were an infant. Everyone is at that age. It's called stress, you dumb tart. People say and think things they don't mean when they're stressed and tired. I hope you never have children. They'd be in extreme danger with a parent like you who might actually do things like that to them, because they're "being a horrible baby." Idiot...

127, That's normal among babies. Hell, I did the same thing when I was born and growing up. What the hell is a baby supposed to do? Sleep? Talk like the E-Trade Baby? Crying and screaming are the only ways an infant can communicate until they turn 18 months old. It's to let the parents know that they're still alive. Go to the Library and read about Infants since you seem to think that babies are awful little creatures. >>;

Haha serves you right for sticking your nose somewhere it doesn't belong!

When you snoop, you find out things you didn't want or need to know! I've raised 4 kids & every Mother has felt that way at some point, it doesn't mean we do it or even want to do it! It's very hard having an infant! She probably wrote it down to relieve frustration! If she hadn't written it down, she might have done something she'd regret! Don't put too much meaning into it! Next time, don't snoop! You were going through her things to find it! MYOB!!

This is why I'm pretty sure I'm not having kids. I have no patience. I'm sure she didnt mean it. People have crazy thoughts when frustrated

She didn't do it though. She's allowed to feel that way, and her diary wad her private way of venting that frustration. People are allowed to have those feelings. You were wrong to read her diary in the first place.

Last page: I guess it's true that you can't love your adopted children as much as your real ones, and they are more resilient to falls.
