I stumbled across a blog the other day that had a link to a blog post titled “dear mom who feels like she is failing…” this really hit home for me as it is something I have been struggling with.
If you were to come to our house right now, I’d be mortified as it has exploded to say the least. I haven’t been able to tidy up much with having been down for the count with my surgery. I also find it hard to be able to keep the house in order any ways with taking care of Everly and trying to make sure she has been fed, changed, burped, is napping, and repeat toss in laundry because its been spewed all over and there is only one bib and sleeper left and I know that wont last a few hours. Recently it all came crashing into me and I’ve suddenly been feeling very overwhelmed, and feel like I am failing, even to the point of feeling really depressed. I’m very thankful for the people in my life who are so supportive, I’ve been blessed with an amazing husband who jumps in to help whenever, and many friends and family are more than willing to come help. Still I feel myself struggling.
Back to this blog post, it just summed everything up so well. I’ve seen so many negative posts towards Mom’s recently. Please be supportive of any Mom out there, doesn’t matter if they are a new Mom or it is their third child. Instead see if they need help, maybe they need someone to go over and help out with watching the child so they could even just get a 20 minute power nap, or have a shower for the first time in days, or even offer to fold and put away the munchkins clothing. A little help is a huge blessing!
So Mom’s out there if you need a little boost, read this…
Being a mum isn't easy! It does get easier, and before you know it you'll have a routine down, but don't be too hard on yourself! 🙂 Make sure you keep on top of your feelings though, if you really feel like you're depressed make sure you talk to your Dr about it! He or she can help if you need it! 🙂 🙂 🙂
