Sister, my sister.
Hang in there!!!
I do wish people would share how difficult early motherhood is a bit more. It's basically bootcamp! But without the team spirit and comeraderie :(
It can be really lonely.
Here's the thing. Everything passes.
One day that liddle guy is going to say, "No thanks, mom. I wanna play with my friends rather."
And I'll tell you something. That's gonna happen sooner than you may believe right now. It all goes by so fast! 👀
It is exhausting. But I think you've got this! 💥
I still go to sleep at the same time as my 12 year old when he's with me, by the way. I need a lot of sleep to keep up with him. Also... I'm tired by 8pm. Still.
You will get through this and it will become a new way of you. As a mother. It's a process...
And takes time...
Like all great transformations do. ❤️
Be patient with him. And with yourself :)
Thank you so much dear @nickydee for your heartwarming comment.
I'm kind of handling everything perfectly but not having time to do things I usually do can make me tense sometimes, I guess I just have to be a little patient with myself.
One of my funny friends said if she had warned me about this tough job I might decide not to have kids !lol so she let me learn through experience hahhahah

But that’s a lie. I much prefer the Metric system.

Hah! She's so spot on!
It's not for lightweights. Mamahood. Whew! 👀
I hear you. I'm quite similar. I need LOTS of solitude to be at peace. So constant busyness is tiring. For me.
I've figured out ways of incorporating my time with his time.
Like... when I cook dinner and he's watching something I stick my headphones on and dance while I cook :D
When he was little I'd bath with him and we'd play in the bath for ages so I got my soak in to de-stress.
I'd give myself a head, arm and hand madsage while we watched TV. (Stull do!)
I was a single parent mostly for both my kids so I had to get creative and incorporate self care into daily responsibilities.
You've got this!
It's just a HUGE transformation.
One day at a time... take it easy.
Sending big hugs and strength 💪🏼 ❤️
Thank you so much once again. You seem to have found a great way that works for you.
And I salute you for raising your kids alone, it is not easy. May God continue to strengthen you and them.
