I completely understand about others not know what you are going through. My kids are grown, but they can be judgmental and insensitive when it comes to the house. But do they offer to help??? Of course not. Ha! People get so wrapped up in their own lives that they forget to stop and encourage others that are in pain or deal with illness, etc. I don't know what I would have done all these years if it weren't for my church family. Also, when you are in pain and upset, your baby can sense your moods. Maybe if you can take a deep breathe before picking up the baby and trying to calm your mood, it might help the baby's too. Can't hurt to try. I have been walking with a cane or a couple years now because my RSD has caused severe osteoarthritis in both hips, but my pm dr says no to surgery. It is difficult when you are having a flare, every step hurts etc. We can all have our times to rant and complain, but that is what we are here for is to encourage and listen to each other. Keep your head up and try to smile.....that'll make really wonder what's up with you. Lol! Take care and soft hugs. Suz
