What are some things that you don’t like about being a mother ?

I got a random question for you ladies; what’s one thing or things that you don’t like about being a mom? Don’t get me wrong, being a mother is AMAZING, but it’s not all shits and giggles either.

I’ll go first, I’m a FTM and the number one thing I don’t like about being a mother, is the CONSTANT worry and anxiety ridden thoughts of the worst things ever happening to your kid. You just sit there and think of the worst things ever happening to your kids and then pray to God that your thoughts never come to fruition. And you think of all the ways that you can protect them but also you know one day that you have to let them spread their wings, let them go out on their own into the world and trust that they’ll wings will work. Like you can have a child whose severely attached to you and scream you need a break, but the first time you sleep alone and spend a day alone without them, you’re a blubbering idiot....like me 😅. Just the thought alone turns on the water works. It’s different if you’re working or have something to distract yourself but when it’s just you and it’s time to go to bed and you don’t have them around to give a bath or rock to sleep..it’s the weirdest feeling. I’m sure there’s more that I don’t like but that’s the number one thing I’m thinking about right now. What are yours?
