Life can be very tough when you have a child who is constantly crying and whining. The expectation that a mother should be able to comfort their child seems to be fundamental. Instead a child who is inconsolable can make a mother feel like she is not good enough and can cause a change in perception from a child to more like a complaining customer. Feelings of guilt, resentment and hopelessness can weigh heavily on a mother. Seeking help for the mom as well as the child is crucial.
