What is it really like being a mum?

Question

My first baby is due in October.  All I ever seem to hear is people talk about how hard it is being a parent and no one ever seems to have anything good to say about it.  But it couldn’t be that bad otherwise people wouldn’t have more children?
I don’t want to go into motherhood naive about it, but I would like to hear both sides of motherhood, positive and negative.  A lot of people make you feel like becoming a parent is a mistake that you’ll just have to live with.

Answer

my daughter is 1. she is the light in my life, her smile makes me feel like I am completely fulfilled and content. the way she looks at me and loves me is honestly indescribable. shes the best of me and my husband, we are in awe of her. parenting is absolutely hard tho, tons of sleepless nights or poor sleep, worrying about ever cough, sniffle, tumble, and bump will drive u to the brink of insanity. you will question if you really do know what's best, or anything for that matter. but in the end my advice is to go with the flow, soak up every damn second because my daughter will be 1 in 3 days and I cannot even comprehend where the time went. enjoy, it's the best most magical loving adventure of your entire life.

Answer

My baby is super chill so honestly it's been pretty easy. He is almost a year now and I'm pregnant due in September with our second one and not worried at all. My husband and I still go out and have fun hah. Just not the movies or go out drinking but it's been great! I love being a mom:)

Answer

I mean I don’t think it’s that hard yet for me. He’s still only 9 months. I think it will get a lot harder when he starts pushing boundaries a little more. I teach middle school so I see a lot of what parents go through when they’re older and it looks a lot more challenging.

Answer

I can relate. I want to be able to travel, work and have fun but I’m afraid a baby will become all I do and worry about 😔

Answer

tiring but worth it I'm having #2 n couldn't be more excited

Answer

I have a 3 month old and it is HARD and exhausting. My daughter is currently teething and still suffering reflux, and boy oh boy would I be lying if I said I didn't want a glass of wine and to just cry. However, her little face and her beautiful smile just makes me melt. I need her like I need air. People aren't lying when they say parenting is the hardest job in the world because it is but it's the most rewarding. I can't wait to have another and give her a sibling because all the good of having kids outweighs the negative. Just don't be afraid to ask for help if you need a bit of a break! That's my problem. I feel like I have to do it all, even though I have a husband and family around.

Answer

I’m currently pregnant with my second child at 22. I had my first at 16 finished school, college and university. I am still with the father we own our own home both have very well paid jobs and our own cars, it’s hard very hard! Motherhood  takes its toll on you in every way you could think and ways you wouldn’t imagine but it’s also the most joyful, beautiful and amazing experience I have ever been through. Me and my little family have traveled to many places we count down to the weekends together and I wouldn’t change a thing. So in short yes being a parent is all the things you have been told but it is also so many other beautiful things and experiences, good luck and through every hard time just know there’s an amazing one just round the corner ❤️ xx

Answer
