If there was something that you could tell yourself prior to motherhood what would it be and why myself I'd probably just tell myself cherish all the moments that you have with your baby even though like I know it's hard mentally physically and emotionally but just cherish those moments because now to years later I look at my daughter and I cry because I'm like what the heck where did the time go why was I not cherishing that newborn stage
I would say that once you become a mom, 90% of the things that you thought were important or that you worried about prior to becoming a mom will just not matter anymore. Your priorities will shift.
So with that said, if there's just a ton of things that are on your mind that you're worried about, just know that they're probably not as big of a deal as you thought and let them go.
I honestly love this too because I think some days I really struggle with that and it's like I just have to come through by myself It's not important like it doesn't matter like you're a mom now You know like care for your baby care for your family, and that's all that really matters
I would tell myself don't compare yourself to other moms or the way they parent because every family is different and Enjoy your time with your littles.
I love this. So like before I became a mother that was kind of like me where You know, I constantly told myself like i'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna be like this person I know since becoming a mom it's like I would say don't care what people think about me and like how I parent
The only thing I care about is like as long as my baby's loved cared for and supported throughout her whole like You know childhood to adult life. That's all I care about and I could care less what anybody else has to say.
Agreed. And I think that the standard that I hold myself to is like not to recreate the same parenting that was given to me, but create a whole different thing and be more loving and more caring, more emotionally intelligent.
I would tell myself to go easier on myself. Having kids has brought up a lot of childhood trauma and I feel like if I would have won easier on myself in the beginning that I wouldn't be struggling the way I am now.
Oh my god girl, me too. Like my child, I only have one and she's been triggering my inner childhood trauma. And so hard to keep yourself sane and like keep her sane and you know support her in her meltdowns and I'm just I've been struggling.
Oh my gosh if this honestly isn't the truth a little Tim I just been struggling financially just because my boyfriends been off work for sometime I'm just a whole issue there but like yeah we were shopping for groceries and like honestly
We found a way and thankfully for my grandma it was like she knew that something was going on like no one told her but like this woman gave me a little bit of my go-to groceries and she's just an angel so like honestly everything does work out.
No matter how you think it's going to go, just take it one day at a time because no matter what, like every day is a new day and every kid is different and just keep moving along and you'll be okay.
