Motherhood seems like a chore

I think motherhood is both beautiful and very difficult. I understand you, but our children need us. They did not choose to come to this world, we wanted it. and we would be happier if we had support from fathers. 🤗

I feel like that too sometimes with my 2 year old - absolutely adore her but you sometimes feel like the days are repetitive and you’re basically doing everything for them but it’s a challenge trying to fit in doing things for yourself or even having a break. My question would be, why do you feel like it’s a chore? And what could do you to change that view x

I totally get you. It took me a long time to start enjoying my son, I mourned by old life and self for a long time and it prevented me from enjoying motherhood. I can’t say that I love it just yet, it’s a very draining and overwhelming experience but when I do enjoy it, it’s incomparable. I think the key is to try and have balance between motherhood and who you are, I lost myself entirely and had to reinvent who I was, I left my job, moved away from family and friends and none of that helped. If I could do anything different would be to keep some part of my life the same as before my son was born. I erased who I was and started from scratch again so my advice is to try and remember who you are, if you have the luxury of having time to yourself without baby, take it and don’t think twice! Recharge your batter as much as possible and hopefully in time your duties as a mother won’t feel like a chore anymore but quality time with your baby
