LOST HELP
Do any other mums just feel completely lost since becoming a mum? I want to be with my baby all the time, especially after our long infertility battle, but society makes me feel like I'm not doing enough just by being a mum, and even then I'm not good enough at being a mum because you need to have multiple sensory activity bins propped with themed rotating toys and no screen time. I'm so fucking lonely, but cannot connect with anyone. I don't give a shit about work, but want to provide a good life. I want to build a business, but don't want to miss the moments. I hate being the parent that always has to do everything, but feel jealous whenever they connect with their other parent that is just seen as the fun parent.
How did you do it? How did you actually enjoy the ride with all the societal noise? How did you find a community. I love my child with all my heart. I am so fearful of being a shit parent. And honestly I feel like every day is slipping through my fingers. Help.

Yes to feeling lost! There is not a way to bring perfection to motherhood, and perhaps the less we attempt to be perfect, the better it is for us, our partners and our children. “Good enough is good enough”. Zoom in to the love you have for your child. Zoom out on the white noise.

I feel this 💕 Recently I’ve had to shut off from other mums because the feeling of comparison is overwhelming on my mental health. I’m also aware I need to be connecting with other mums for my mental health 🤷🏼♀️ I’m currently making an effort to look after myself more so that I can hopefully cope with these external influences, and the other ones you mentioned, better ☀️
