Depression after birth.. Advise please :(

[Lexorozco]

I'm only 16 years old and I live with my parents. There supportive and pay for everything. I had my daughter 5 days ago and when we came home from the hospital my dad was overly protective with her and calls himself daddy but he says it's in accident.. He's always saying your my princess your my baby, then my mom is constantly holding, feeding, changing her won't barely let me even be a mom ! My dad came up to he baby and my mom called him daddy then corrected herself and said grandpa. I'm always asking for my baby and I'm terrified that she's gonna think my parents are hers. . . My mom even sleeps in my room at night where the baby is. Don't get me wrong I'm glad there helping me but I'm not even feeling like a mom I feel like that's their daughter I'm just a sister.... :'(  my baby's father is coming over a lot to see her but with how my dad and mom is I feel like she won't even know me and him are her parents. can someone help me how to tell them without being a total *****, I'm the type to not be str8 up with things cause I feel like I'm being mean...

I know how you feel I got pregnant at 15. Its hard for them because your still there baby! You do need to tell them you'd like to have more responsibility with your baby because itsyour resposibilty to mmake sure she knows your her mother. Just be the first to get there
If anything ever happens and they will start to realize ur mom and what u say and do goes!

It's totally normal for grandparents to feel that way

The best thing to do is to sit them down and tell them the truth tell them you thank them for the help but you need to learn how to do some of the things on your own ya know? They should understand

Your not terrible at all... Sometimes it takes some mother's a lil while to connect with their baby's... It's gonna be OK, stay positive!!! And it sounds like your parents will understand...

Thank you girls.. I will tell them your right I need to stand my ground I guess I'm just scared. I don't have a connection with my baby because of it and I just feel like a terrible mom :(

I agree with the ladies... Your definitely gonna have to stand your ground because you don't want it to go that way at all... Stop it before it becomes a serious problem... Your baby is young enough where it won't effect her but sit them down and have a serious conversation about how you feel...

I'm 16 too, and I'm soppose to have my baby in two days with inducing. I'm not sure how my parents are gonna react, wether its gonna be the same way or not. But I would just sit down with them and try to explain to them that its your baby and you'd like more time with him/her and like to take care of the baby more than what they are letting you & just calmly tell them how they are making you feel..but your appreciated all they are and have done. That's what I'd do anyway..

Just tell them how you feel. Be honest and tell them that u want some responsibility with your baby and that u appreciate their help but u feel like their taking that away from you from feeling like a mother.

I think u just need to stand ur ground. Dont ASK for YOUR baby. They need to understand that there are lines and u dont cross them. I would just tell them straight up yall are her GRANDPARENTS. Im mommy. And tell ur mom u would rather her sleep in her own room and that u can do the mommy things. And tell ur dad that she has a daddy. Idk im like u in a way where i have a hard time being mean but when it comes to my daughter i would push myself to because its just not right u knw? Im sorry tho hun. I cant imagine that
