Question for single moms (or moms w not much help which is primarily most of us anyway)

Do you sometimes not really like being a mom? I feel bad for feeling it. I do tho. I have 2 kids, one preteen and one baby and I am ,and have been pretty much getting these "burnt out from being a mom" feelings for.. well since the start

Another way to phrase it may be that sometimes I miss just being me on like a very deep level. I love my kids of course but I don't always love or even like being a mom 😬😅

Yes sometimes I just miss when it was just me n I could do whatever I want

lol yea a lot of moms feel this way & this is why childless adults are always flexing cuz they chose to not be in parents cuz this job ain’t for everyone even wen we do choose it. lol it’s okay to feel the way u do, bt it’s also the guilt we feel wen we feel that way that really affects us cuz we love our kids bt we also miss who we were before them lol. Bt 2things can be true at the same even if they contradict each other. I love my son & I love motherhood bt I also miss my old life, I miss the old me. All of it is true, all of it is my new reality

FTM - Just had my girl 2 weeks ago and I already feel guilty for feeling that way! My partner took the role as a father so well and I’m here struggling feeling positive about motherhood, rethinking the decision we made to have a baby and missing my old life!

I feel you on this. Mum of two. 7 and 8 months love them both but feel so held back. Single as well so just surrounded by kid chat and kid talk. Want to feel alive again..

It is SO life changing having a child. Its hard to explain how much of a change it is to someone whose not in it. Its okay to feel that way ♡ I think we all do at certain times.
