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
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
Trump invaded our nursery & mom is sorry
All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them - Erma Bombeck I fight a minor OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Nobody complains about it when I'm trying to keep the house tidy or when I'm packing three pieces of luggage before we go on a trip - I'm the only reliable one who gets every necessity and extras in - but when it comes to my son's time for play, I realized I have to take my OCD somewhere else. #parenting #momlife #momsquad #dadlife #dadsquad
