Mum shamed😔

I was talking to someone the other day that although I love my children to bits, (2 girls), some days are really tough! Especially with a newborn and a sassy 3 yr old! Their response was “But this is motherhood, this is what you signed up for. You knew what you was letting yourself in for.” It’s really made me feel like rubbish! I suffered bad with PPD with my first baby & tbh I’m just a bit sick of the whole ‘get on with it’ ‘it’s your choice to have kids’ mentality. Are we as mums not allowed to love being mums but admit actually this is tough too & ask for help?! Has anyone else experienced comments like this? Does it piss you off too?

Yes! I have experienced this! And now my kids are 5 and nearly 3... Now the same people are saying 'you are getting burnt out and need time for you' but I never had it when my daughter was a baby and I had issues and that so I don't accept it's it's like I dealt with it this long ill keep doing it

Two things can be true! I love my little boy but honestly some days he’s a bit of an arse and it’s really hard! X
