It was my 30th birthday yesterday. We dropped off my daughter (2F) at in-laws on Sunday afternoon as a birthday present for me and since we worked on Monday (my birthday) she ended up spending there about 30 hours.My birthday entire day was pretty uneventful apart from my husband baking me a cake, so I was looking forward to going to my in-laws to get my daughter and have dinner. She was horrible to us. This is not new, she has had issues with liking/loving my husband and me for the last 1.5 years if my in-laws are around (we are truly good parents, and I have read everything about toddler attachment issues, nothing's helping our situation, but my husband and I pretty much accepted it at this point. We just shower her with cuddles and playing whenever she will accept us).So for a 30th birthday I got no presents, no friends, worked a full day, and didn't get a single hug or kiss or even a few minutes of play from my daughter. On top of that she screamed like I was burning her when I tried changing her diaper and later putting on pajamas.When I was pregnant everyone used the word "rewarding". Parenthood isn't rewarding. It's heartbreaking, tiring physically and mentally, ungrateful, complicated and resentful. It's like being in an abusive relationship with no way out. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3cCAASU
