Territorial

Why is it that after having a baby I have become extremely territorial? Not only do I feel the need to take care of my baby, but also my husband. I have a hard time letting others help because I want to be the one to do it!!!

Natural, normal feelings or overly possessive?

I think a little of both. I definately have noticed a change in me when I had Piper. Its this innate sense of motherly instict that kicks in and you want to take care of things.. Of everything. Funny cause Jake and I had this talk last night that I no longer can take care of myself like I used to and I cant relax cause I am always trying to take care of everything. I can hardly just sit and do nothing cause there is always something that needs to be taken care of. To be honest sometimes it sucks. What happened to the lazy laid back qualities that I once had???? I think we need to ask for help and hopefully we have husbands that will know when we just plain need help. It's hard to ask because we become control freaks who want things done our own way. But we have to keep balance in our lives and make sure we arent taking care of everything.. after all that is why man and woman have each other. Its a partnership. But I think its normal but we cant let it consume us. So glad there is another mother out there that is experiencing all these new things with me.
