AMEN!!! (But also for swimming costumes!) As a regular swimmer, I have never a-men'd anything harder.
Becoming a mother is a tough thing. Your whole life changes in an instant. Your friends and family start visiting to see the baby, not you. The life you had before having the baby feels like a distant world. You, as the person you were before being a mom, are different now – and we're not just talking about the pre-baby body.
Me to my neighbor: "My 3 year old is very clean. She doesn't like getting all messy and likes to wash her hands." My 3 year old: *Places a dried dog poo on the table beside neighbor*
Even though taking care of your baby can be all-consuming, it's vital to make time for yourself during this transition so you don't forget who you are. Motherhood can be overwhelming, but you can maintain your sense of self by following these tips.
Never understood this. I want a partner to do things with TOGETHER. cooking cleaning laundry all of it.
The first step in understanding your identity as a mother is acknowledging that you're not the same person you were before having a baby. Your priorities, schedule, body, and emotions change permanently from the moment your baby arrives. Recognize that it will take time to reconnect with yourself, and be kind to yourself as you discover the "new" you.
That's what grandmothers are for. When I was a little girl, we were broke. My brother and I each got a box of cereal a week for our breakfasts. We were allowed to choose the cereal each week, except Apple Jacks. It was more expensive than the others. It was one of my favorites. I was seven or eight, and spent the night at Grandma's, three miles out of town. In the morning, Grandma asked me what I wanted for breakfast. I said Apple Jacks, because they were too expensive. This woman who lived through the Great Depression drove me to the store in town and bought me a box of Apple Jacks.
Oh yes, honey. I actually had a panic attack after being made a parent representative for the nursery my son goes to. I am still patting myself on the back for standing up for myself the next day and saying NO, I can't do that. I can't take on any more. I can't be the person to mitigate, negotiate, mediate in my third language on top of everything else. I am in long-term therapy because I can't manage my own life and only agreed to it because I couldn't bear to wait in the room until someone volunteered (which they never do). I don't do well with conflict and expectations. I'm proud of myself for saying no!
Snort-laugh! That belongs with child sitting quietly at a coffee morning staring at one of the ladies, then "Mrs Robinson just drinks like an ordinary person, she doesn't drink like a fish at all"
Instead of dwelling on the loss of your former self, view this transition as a fresh start. Motherhood is a transformative journey that can lead to significant personal growth. When you have a baby, you become an immediate role model. Focus on becoming the kind of person you want your child to admire.
Daughter was singing "I'm looking over a four-leaf clover." So, I taught ger the Dr. Demento version, "I'm looking over my dead dog Rover." Of course, she decided to sing that version at the school recital. Not a solo thankfully.
There's nothing quite as challenging to your self-identity as spending every day with a little one who can only express themselves through cooing and crying. Motherhood can sometimes feel incredibly isolating, so it's essential to connect with other adults to combat the loneliness that often comes with new parenthood.
Hahahah my boss told me, her kid came running towards her with her face and hands full of chocolate and when the little girl got to her she thought she was being offered chocolate, little girl puts hands on my boss's mouth.....it was poop. She was gagging the whole time she told me the story, it was great! Hahaha
Make an effort to spend time with your friends without your baby, or invite them over for a chat after the baby is asleep. Allocate time with your partner to discuss topics other than your baby. If it seems like you have nothing to talk about beyond the challenges of parenting, consider listening to the same podcast or reading a specific online column so you always have a reliable conversation starter.
We understand, it might seem overwhelming to consider making time for a hobby or passion right now, but returning to the activities that defined your identity before becoming a parent can help you adjust to your new self more smoothly.
Having a creative outlet, whether it's drawing, photography, writing, or cooking, can increase your happiness and add some variety to the daily routine of changing diapers and being available around the clock. Even if it's as simple as adding a pinch of cumin to your tuna salad or jotting down "I MADE A HUMAN!" repeatedly in a notebook, a small dose of what makes you unique can set you on the right path.
Hmm yeah, my 2-year-old also just used WTF in the correct context ... Lucky for me I have 2 preteens who throw that around like fresh air, so I'm not the only one to blame... Yikes.
When your every waking moment is dedicated to caring for someone entirely reliant on you, it's simple to overlook self-care. Nonetheless, attending to your own needs is one of the most effective ways to adapt to your evolving identity. Daily showers, a bit of exercise, nourishing meals, and the occasional application of makeup can serve as reminders that you are also worthy of care and deserving of it.

imagine calling your own kids that you yourself birthed "freeloaders"

I love going away with my family. We don't get to do it often because we can't afford it - but time away enjoying a change of scenery really is precious.
I just went on a big road trip with two of my kids. We had an absolute blast. One of my favorite moments was when we were playing Mad Libs while driving in the middle of nowhere and I almost had to pull over because I was laughing so hard. We're already planning the next road trip.
My husband has gone off on a solo holiday three Christmas’s in a row, while the kids and I stay home. Whenever I say it would be so good to go away with the kids he says just do it. Big price difference though going off on motorbike with tent compared to me and two teenagers, can never afford it!!!!
hello nargylothatep how are you this evening, are you staying for dinner?
Oh, way, way before that!!! I hate clothes shopping so much that I am definitely wearing some things from before the millennium.
I told my daughter that sometimes people are homeless because they don't have any money and she said: "Why can't they just go and get some out of the machine?" Bless her. I explained that any money that is in the machine is there because I have a job that pays me the money I can withdraw later.
Full fridge and two full freezers. Kids: there is no food in the house.

The other day, my daugther said: my friends always say what a cool my I have. She seems more like a friend than a mum. And what did she answer: totally. My mum doesn't know how to be a mum. I really don't know how to feel about that... 🤔😦🤣
Parents have to parent sometimes. It's even more difficult when your child thinks you're one of their friends. You're not. You have a duty to bring them up which sometimes means making difficult decisions.

When your newborn pees all over you and everything around for a third time in a row and you know you cannot scream on him so you just swear and call him names in a nice calming mother voice 🙈
why not? its just words. The fact that people still get bent over some swear words is silly. there are actual bad things in the world to be worried about and some spicy words is not one of them. Id think with the amount of b*tching people do about BP blocking certain words, this would be less of an issue in the comments but here we are.
