Honest Motherhood Talks – come let us discuss a few that we have been through, honestly.
Motherhood is often showcased as a journey filled with love, joy, and fun. We agree that these things are for sure included in the journey but you know it is not all colors every time! It's way more complex, apart from having immense happiness about Motherhood which also involves a pyramid of emotions running high, challenges, and all the pieces of advice that we get, but don't know what to follow.
Let me start with the point where we all agree and just nod while you read this. One amazing aspect of this journey is the love a mother feels for her child – beyond all boundaries, absolutely unconditional and unmatched by that of any other person.
But, parallel to this love comes the doubt! The doubt of doing things correct or wrong. Anxiety is the most common thing that a mother would face. No doubt, that Motherhood requires more selflessness and sacrifices. And we would also feel overwhelmed by all the things happening around us. Not to forget, our responsibilities!
Now, don't get me started on the sleepless nights!
Many-many sleepless nights, diaper changings are endless, and the newborn's constant care. Major challenges occur when we have to balance family, work, and self-goals, and to top all these off let us welcome – The Mom Guilt! – Ta-Da..!
We as mothers would feel happiness, joy, exhaustion, frustration, and tears – Comment below if you felt/feel the same way.
The added pressure: - Judgments!
We cannot avoid them ya! No matter what!
It is an added pressure from society or family, we are bound to be judged for the things that we do and for the things that we don't do. Whether you breastfeed your child or formula feed, whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a working mom, whether you prioritize motherhood or pursue your career. We mothers are often in the middle of other people's opinions.
Motherhood - A journey of growth!
Despite facing many high and low moments, the Motherhood Journey is also our growth and transformation journey. A journey of learning, empathy, and patience. Which would bring us immense joy, purpose, and fulfillment.
A journey that, for sure challenges us to set our priorities, and know our strengths that we didn't know we had. And a journey to make the amazing bong with the tiny human that you have created.
Keep swimming my super mother – you shall reach your bliss
