Is it possible to love your children but hate motherhood in itself ?

I feel guilty, but I'm not enjoying motherhood as I thought I would. I feel extremely tired, overwhelmed and guilty. I feel miserable, most days crying and overthinking about everything. So exhausted. I don't think anyone around me will ever understand how I feel. I look and feel miserable. Sometimes I think my daughter deserves better

It’s bloody HARD!!!

Second this. Much harder than what it’s presented as. I hope and believe it will get better. Stay strong. 💪🏼

Im so sorry that you are feeling this way, could it be possible that your going through some postpartum ? It is just as Hayley has said it is very hard. I think these feelings for alot of women is more common then we open up about.

It feels like this side of becoming a parent is like the worlds best kept secret, I’ve asked a few relatives/friends why they never told me how hard it was and they said because then you never would have had kids 😅 so that tells you something!

@Deborah totally agree. I’m a little late to the party (as I was always at the party 😅) - I had NO IDEA it’d be this hard. No idea. It’s really hard and I have a good kid!

I'm feeling this this week 😭 I'm sick & husband has been working all week. . . All I wanna do is curl up under a blanket but can't do that with an 8 month old 😵‍💫

I woke up soooo tired today and can relate to this so much.... it's like months of broken sleep has caught up with me! But there's no one better, especially in your daughter's eyes! 🤩 (but I've also felt this way too so sending love 💜) even on the bad days, you're doing a fantastic job x
