Confession: I was not mom-like when I had my son

Confession: I didn’t feel like a mom when my son was born and I told no one for fear of judgement and lack of support

When I first encountered my son I didn't feel an immediate connection and I told no one. Every article that I'd ever read pointed to a motherliness that would exude from the star mom when her child was born. I didn't feel motherly at all. In fact I still felt my single self. Married, but before a child. #parenting #momlife #momsquad #dadlife #dadsquad

Mom guilt is for life, let’s move on

Guilt is motherhood. It sets in when you find out that you'd conceived

Guilt is motherhood. It comes with the placenta. Mom guilt will impact all your parenting decisions, but it's up to you what you make of it. #momlife #momguilt #parenting

My first day off from motherhood

Like most moms, I thought I was indispensible. My son has to have me by his side and everyone else is wrong about everything. Fast forward to 18 months later I'm knackered and most times all I want to do is some me-time. I also snapped out of postpartum depression and figured out I had a hand to play in the thin relationship my husband had with my son. #parenting #marriedlife #momlife #momsquad #dadlife #dadsquad
