A message from a mom who’s making an attempt exhausting to outlive motherhood
Don’t you all agree that sometimes we feel like this is the longest day ever with kids ??! Something like winter nights, cold and dark and yet a lonely night? Don’t you sometimes feel like your day is just dragging on? Children are always full of energy who refuse to calm down, someone has a tantrum while someone is always sick!
As you try to assemble your house and go into one room to start over, once you are done and turned around you will see that the other room is a hot mess! Happened right every time? I’ve heard and read of mothers who religiously stick to their to-do lists. Well, I don’t even want to start my to-do list that is piling up!
A message from a mother trying to survive motherhood
Children and their demands never end! Don’t you feel exhausted and done with these little people and break up for today? Do you feel lost today? You knew motherhood was difficult. But nobody would tell you how to deal with it. every mother has her new version of serving motherhood.
Honestly answer this for yourself, you don’t think it would be that hard, do you? Your chance thought was that you are having a hard time in the first few days. But it continues to be days after weeks after months.
Hey mom i’m here with you! We’re both in different boats, but we’re sailing in the same direction. At times I even feel like I’m drowning myself while I’m still figuring it out. But here we are both making our journey towards motherhood.
Before I entered motherhood, I had my expectations right about what would make me a good mother. But I didn’t realize that these expectations and standards that I set made me fail every time because the expectations are always not that realistic.
I was good at what I did, but the standards and the desire to be the ‘perfect mother’ drowned me.

I sometimes feel that the way we set our expectations of ourselves and not achieve them makes us feel a lot worse than when we don’t do things. Instead of the good things I did right, I worried about the things I couldn’t do at all.
If you have high expectations of an ideal mother or motherhood, you will drown in motherhood! You’re already doing what you could do. And if you could do better, you would already have it!
Mind you, we are all on the same journey, but travel differently with different people and problems. Don’t let the expectations of others deter you!
