i feel liek i don't love my son...

I prefer to stay anonymous... what is wrong with me... I don't feel a strong sense of love for my child, unlike other mothers. I really feel just normal, even tending not to love. I've never really liked children. But I am still responsible, I breastfeed, take care of everything that is needed. I just don't love. No one knows this, including my husband. But I think he might have noticed, because he once asked, "Why don't you ever post photos of our child (on socials)? Unlike other mothers. You do like posting (on socials) a lot..." I just gave him a casual answer, I said I didn't want to invite negative comments, but actually, it's because I don't feel it's special. Is it wrong? But I do take care of him.

Just curious, how old is your child? I sort of understand how you feel..i felt distant to my child when he was less than 1 month old as it was mostly my confinement nanny looking after him, so it didn't feel like he's my kid yet. But when the nanny left and i was left alone to take care of him, that's when I slowly built up the love for him. And when he started to smile and respond, that's when it hits harder. I hope you'll also get to feel this love for your child soon, it's a feeling unlike any other. Jiayou mama.
