100% can relate. I feel like because we’re 9 months pp we’re in a weird phase where to others it seems like well over enough time to be put together but to us it feels like no time has passed at all. I feel like postpartum really is like 2 years to really get back to yourself. I constantly look in the mirror and just don’t feel like myself. And sometimes I have days where I am just so drained and tapped out that I feel like a horrible mom. But I know that’s just in my head and that I’m doing the best I can. BUT I will say as my daughter is getting older and becoming more independent I have found a lot more time to incorporate the things I’ve always loved doing, since before I had her. For me that’s reading, I never had much time for it before but now that her naps are longer and she’s on more of a consistent schedule, it’s been so nice just to get back to something that makes me happy, even if it’s only for 30 minutes.
@Nina yes thankyouuuu. Its such an off piece to be in. Every month comes with its own struggles. Happy you’re finding your own time🫶🏽
@Jackie i get it 100% not a day goes by i don’t miss my old life i feelthat’s the hardest feeling to shake off. Everyone says just to embrace the new one but jeez its hard
I feel the exact same way a lot of the times and so do so many other moms. I’m hoping it’s just a season and things will get better. I think it’s a lot harder when they’re babies and you’re a new mom too navigating all this change. Message me any time if you want to talk or vent or anything ❤️
You’re not alone!!!!! Motherhood is hard and honestly sucks sometimes. I got to leave the house the other day alone and all of a sudden it’s been 5 hours because I was enjoying my time walking through stores lol. My husband thought I got kidnapped.
@Jillian haha love that. Who knew the simple things we would do before feel like a luxury now
Totally get it. I love my kids, but I miss my old self. I feel like I'm always on edge and that I need to be everything to everyone all at once. It's exhausting and doesn't make me a fun person. Motherhood and parenting are hard-- I just wish I was able to get a little me time everyone once in awhile.
