I'm finding it so hard to believe this is just how it is to be a mum 😮💨😓

Unfortunately this is the norm for most mums in my experience but everyone says it gets better and I believe them. I also sometimes cry my heart out over how small my life feels and how endlessly relentless motherhood is, never getting freedom or a moment to breathe or feel, but I remind myself this will pass and I will get more life back.
Feel you 100% it’s relentless. We love our children but it’s hard. I went back to work 4 days a week and that’s really helped me have a break from mum life and abit of myself again x
Wow gosh! I could literally had wrote this myself. I was feeling like this today and I don’t know how, this is motherhood and yes the tantrums and wlinging and what not. 😔😩 plus, I am pregnant again with baby no2 with my 19months old. I really wasn’t prepared for this type of life yet, being a mum. I didn’t want baby no2, I just end up keeping. But yeah I feel you on this. x
Motherhood is the most demanding job Mentally physically emotionally spiritually And it’s pretty thankless in terms of getting that validation that we are doing a good job or appreciated BUT it’s in years to come when the rewards are there. Through the relationship you build with them and the memories you’ve made. Right now you are in the trenches and you are on empty. It’s ok to have these moments, have the cry, have the fear of repeating the same day again, the holy hell how did I make it through today. We are needed so much by these little people - we are literally serving them 24 hours a day - sounds like you are such a good mama devoting so much of energy to making sure they are ok. It won’t always be this hard. They won’t always needs us this much. In the midst of madness and burn out there are snippets of joy, play and laughter just seek them out where you can and maybe not so much pressure on yourself 💗
You’re defo not alone. I have twins same age. Relentless. Unrelenting. X
My first was like that and add being a single mum is was so tough and draining I was running on empty all the time. I was anxious about everything and she was such hard work. Tantrums all the time co slept with ne every night. But it does get easier....well she's now 9 and hitting the pre teen hormones/tantrums 🙈🤣 My second who's 17months is the opposite thankfully she's a lot more chilled out then her sister. Although her tantrums are starting to kick off now too. Remember though you can't pour from an empty cup you need some time for you to recharge and do things you enjoy just for you.
