Tigger warning! Instinctively want to hurt infant.


I am a first time parent in my mid thirties. Have a overall heathy happy baby.Until I had my son, I had only ever held a baby twice and it was alway awkward, baby always cried. As a small child, age 5-7 I noticed in myself a frankly disgust towards babies and younger children. I could tolerate my peers but not younger children.Fast forward, as an adult I have always found babies not cute at all. I find their cry’s instinctively to put me in a fight or flight defense mode that makes me angry. People would tell me when it’s your own, it’s different. It’s not.When my son screams I want to yell back louder. He gets everything; food, clothing, warmth, cuttles, hugs, a new diaper for ever toot. Yet he just randomly screams and cry’s. I hate it. Sometime I instinctively want hit him. I don’t have any anger issue with my wife, peers, co-workers. I also had a normal childhood with not abuse. I am not a drug users either.Lucky I was educated on PURPLE. I know yelling and hitting doesn’t raise discipline children.Am I alone? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2rKDnYi
