are you a bad mother if you put your child in their crib to cry because you are overwhelmed?

No child is not in pain/sick/feverish
No child does not need a change
No child is not hungry- just ate
Mommy hasn't eaten dinner yet, and needs 5 min to eat.
Child doesn't want her toys pack n play jumper or even to go to bed.
First tooth is coming in though.

No...the child needs to understand that the parent cannot come running at every cry. The parent (usually mom) needs breaks...even to pee or all they do is just wet themselves while comforting a crying baby.
