I don’t think it’s selfish to miss your old life! And you defo do way more with your first, it’s such a HUGE adjustment. Absolutely love my babies and the best thing I’ve ever done but I’m a social person and i found the adjustment to having to always arrange for someone to be home with my baby difficult. You do get used to it! It becomes part of a new normal. It’s tough but oh so incredible especially as they get older and can express more of their little personalities. You’re not bad for feeling this mama!
I always used to say I can’t wait to be a mum, it’s what I’m made for, I won’t miss work ect ect… but boy did I underestimate what a change it is! A tiny human depends completely on you! I can’t pee, shower, eat or drink without the tiny human in my thoughts of making sure they are ok first! I love my little girl with my whole being but it’s not selfish to miss the freedom of having no one other than your self to think about! I love my baby , but motherhood is hard! I’m here if you need to talk!
I feel like life just massively changes when you have a baby .. I do miss certain parts of my old life but I’m so full of love now and I get to do sooooo many fun things with my son when he gets bigger which I’m so excited for! Try to focus on the positives right now and see your life through a new lense x
When you say do what you want what do you mean by this? Because girl take your baby with you! But honestly I can relate, I have 2 kids and I do mourn what my life used to be like. I went out I wouldn't say every weekend but majority of weekends and now I need to beg my mother to babysit so I can let my hair down, I've been out this year I think 3 times it's now April... When you say you miss your sleep seriously nap when your baby naps if you feel like you need to clean up and do jobs, nap first house jobs later. I adore and love my kids. It it selfish to miss our old lives, but that's called being human! It does get easier xx
