I understand you so well. You described exactly how I felt when the children were small.Even if it doesn't help you much in your current situation, it gets better every year. Otherwise I would never have raised four children. I love reading your stories. They reflect so much of myself. Stay as you are, you do everything wonderfully. Look at Joseph how happy and wonderful he is. I am very proud of you.💕💕
Hey Astrid, I appreciate you for reading and commenting 💕 I was just telling my sister the other day... I can't imagine having four children! I don't know how you did it! But I'm happy to hear it gets better every year, I believe it :) Thanks again for the compliments, support and for saying you love reading my stories, that makes me really happy too 🥰
Mine are 21 and 16 and my brain is still wired to "think of them, their needs and their safety and not much else." 100% true that all you need to do will never be done. That seems to be life in general, much less with a young child. Definitely carve out that time for yourself. Your mental health is so important for any of the other stuff to get done anyways. Congrats on parent/motherhood. We'll be here whenever you have time. <3
Amazing to hear from you, and that Mom Life is good. I feel this post. My Baby is almost 18 Months now, and still i feel like i always habe to choose between cleaning the house, and there is really always plenty to clean, or finally doing something i like to do for myself. A long time ago i also dreamt about writing, but this is a very far away dream by now. Because for me to get into the writing zone, most of the time the time i have to do it is over. So if I dont clean I watch TV or read, because this I can do instantly and the whole 30 minutes or so, without wasting a minute. And I also very quickly found out that it makes me very unhappy and stressed if I dont have MeTime. So most of the time i actually do not choose cleaning. But the mess also kind of makes me unhappy. Im one of the people who cant do it all, so it doesn't really matter what I choose, at some point i will be stressed 😅
I wish you and you little Family all the best, and hope you find a way for you that makes you happy ❤️
