When you want a "I don't want to be a mommy today" kind of day...
Hello everyone,
I hope that when you read this post, you are healthy and safe. Remember that just because restrictions have eased up, it does not mean the pandemic is over. It actually means that there is place for you in the ICU.
I love my children. I love, love, love my children. I would die for them and would do anything to protect them. However, there are days when I love them but don't like them. Those days when it feels like they just want to stick to you and you just cannot have one minute to yourself. And when they are little, like ours are, it can get very challenging and overwhelming.
It was easier, before the pandemic, because I had days when I would be out of the house for the entire day - running errands and doing work. But now, I am always home and I cannot escape them. We do have a nanny and that helps, but with a newborn, it's still pretty challenging. Being home, as well, it is hard when I hear one of them cry when I heard that they had a bad fall - my mother's heart cannot take it and let it go.
Today is one of those "I don't want to be a mommy today" kind of day. I just want to enjoy being in bed and lounging around and not have to deal with tantrums, crying for no reason, screaming competitions, diapers, accidents, not wanting to eat, just wanting to be picked up... and I know that a lot of moms go through this - especially those who have no help. To all single mothers out there - YOU ROCK!!!!
Some days are better than others - today is just not a good day.
Wherever you are, keep safe and remember to wash your hands and don't touch your face. Be safe and smart - don't spread Covid-19.
