I’m sure we all heard a few of these growing up… 😳 and honestly, I’m so glad parenting styles have changed ❤️ I asked Frank to finish them and his answers made me realise I’m doing a good job even if some days I don’t feel like it 🤣try this with your kids and let me know what they say! #gentleparenting #toddler #motherhood
To the person who said, ‘It’s not hard taking care of kids’ — you’re right, to a point. It’s not just the caring. It’s doing everything else on top of being a mum that’s exhausting. The mental load, the planning, the never-ending to-do list… that’s what makes it hard. I’d spent the whole morning playing with Frank, and as I tried to make his lunch for nursery, he just wanted to climb into my top. The guilt hit me — that I can’t be fully present every second, that I can’t play all day, even though I wish I could. #motherhood #overstimulated #parenting
Some days it’s not the big things, it’s the noise, the mess, the constant questions, the feeling of being needed every second. It’s the overstimulation that builds quietly until suddenly it feels like too much. If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone 🩷 You’re doing more than enough — even when it feels like you’re running on empty. #motherhood #overstimulated #parenting
Our new Mother’s Day tradition ❤️ I teared up watching this 🥹 Give it a go with your little one and see what they say… #toddler #motherhood #challenge #fyp
