Being a mom is hard

Sometimes it’s hard being a mom especially with limited support around you. We don’t have family that is accessible or willing to be there and it is hard to make mom friends. It is hard to see other moms who have such a great village around them and to watch them support each other. It makes me feel like something is wrong with me or I feel bad for my kids because they don’t have more friends around to play with. This is just a low key vent but some days it is just exhausting not having support.

I feel exactly the same way. I wish I had a better solution but I do come bearing a reminder. It's nothing you've done wrong and you're a great mama for even worrying like that. This world isn't built for having a village, anymore. Everyone is spread out or has a million stressors of their own they try to tackle alone. It's so hard. I think too many of us are afraid to be a burden so we don't ask, and those who wouldn't mind to help don't think to offer because there is too much else to distract. All forms of media and social media, jobs, kids of their own, relationships and households, etc. This world feels like it's full of people in survival mode, going it alone.

I felt exactly this way 2 nights ago to the point I cried ! You’re not alone

I get it but you won’t start to feel better until you accept what you do have and practice being grateful. I totally get it, you feel angry and resent others, once you get through that part and onto the next part you will find some peace with your life. Things will eventually turn around once you out a different energy out into the world and who knows your village could grow ! ❤️‍🔥✌️

I’m not you though and I shouldn’t presume but from what you’re saying I can totally relate and have been there. I’m probably still there but I’m really enjoying my solitude and finding out who I am as a mum with out any one influencing my decisions. I guess I come on here and comment on everyone’s posts that I can relate to and that makes me feel part of a village 🫶🏼

I feel you. Really wish we had family nearby and willing to support us. My parent live 10 hrs away and have seen my 15 month old twice. I have friends with parents who fly in and visit there LO often, It’a just not a priority for mine.

I feel you....sometimes I feel like loosing my mind, my 2 year old daughter is not an easy child, she screams and shout a lot , I am so exhausted...and soon I will have second, no village...I don't feel like I have any strengths left
