That mom guilt

Omg I feel the same way. I have 3 kids a 11yr old a 6 yr old and 5yr old who is autistic and I have one on the way. A lot of the time dinner is late. Laundry isn’t done or folded. My husband is main person working and I apologize so much because he works hard as well. And he will just tell me to not apologize and he understands that some days a lot won’t get done. I understand that mom guilt too of not wanting to do anything. I be worn out honestly

@Jennia i have a basket full of clean clothes to fold, and I have blankets and bedsheets to wash. I wash them every week.

I know the feelings all too well. It seems overwhelming but yet can’t really bring ya self to find the energy to knock it out.

I feel this way too sometimes. Like I feel like I have to work at home as hard as a full time job but it's like a weird bar to set because idk what that equates to except I usually feel guilty if I just take a break like I would at a regular job. Haha idk it is hard to explain. My husband is amazing too though like so supportive and helpful with the house and kids, I am so thankful each day for him. I don't cook breakfast though, all growing up we just ate cereal in the morning and having waffles or pancakes was a treat so I do the same at my house. We eat cold cereal in the morning, idk I like it and so do my boys. Might be a switch worth making.

Yeah I don’t make big breakfasts I don’t have the energy. Everyone will literally get a bowl of cereal or some eggo waffles lol

I feel the exact same way ladies. As we speak my almost 1 year old has a crib full of clean clothes that needs to be folded, I have a tub of his old clothes that I need to figure out what to do with, and instead of actually doing it I decided to cuddle with my son. So right before my husband comes home I’ll power clean to not feel as bad. But let’s be real, most of us are just being way too hard on ourselves. Most men don’t mind the mess. It’s us that mind. Which is also okay, we just need to cut ourselves some slack. If it’s not an everyday thing then we shouldn’t be too harsh. We’re doing what we can ❤️

You're growing a human, watching two little kids, and cleaning a house all at once, and you're bummed that one of these things is a little lackluster? And it's the *house* thing you're bummed about? ... I haven't heard a lazy thing yet. Honestly, maybe you're a bit of an overachiever. 😉

You are creating and growing life, there’s nothing on this earth to me that takes that much energy. Be kind and easy to yourself! Being a mama to toddlers/kids is tough enough without being pregnant. Your prioritising with your energy and so far all I see is good mamas that would rather be there for their other babies than hurt their back (which is no doubt already hurting 😂) cleaning! ❤️

@Bonny That OCD and overthinking.

Girl I’m in the exact same boat with a 1 and 2 year old except no partner anymore . But I honestly stress myself out everyday that I’m not doing enough and I need to try harder . But we need to give ourselves breaks and have self care or we will burn ourselves out . It’s hard enough to be a mom , let alone a sahm, so don’t be hard on yourself! Routines definitely help and making time for yourself .

Omg i literally wake up saying I wanna do all this stuff and then the time comes and I just lay on my ass lol I have an 18 month old and I am also 22weeks pregnant and i just try to do things when I get that spark of energy.

You're growing a new life AND have an infant AND a toddler... Mama please rest! 💕 You do not need to do it all. Balance is extremely important. If you find you have energy one day use it if you don't do what works. I make simple meals for breakfast and lunch. I spend 1-2 mornings making a huge batch of whatever I'm making that morning. Muffins, egg cups, pancakes, & waffles are easy to throw together & can be frozen for later.

This is me on most days. Some says I do absolutely nothing and other days I do everything. Every night I’m up and down with our newborn and when I was pregnant pulled all-nighters with our toddler. We may not have a traditional job, but our jobs are never ending.. we dont get weekends and holidays.. so have that breakfast delivered and order lunch while you’re at it. You deserve that little break. Your husband knows how much energy you put into your family and he appreciates you. Be easy on yourself.

I have 1 baby 14m. And that’s already a lot for me . Can’t imagine 2 and preggo. Give urself grace. I have adapted the habit of doing nothing and just being present for my baby. My value does not lie on my productivity but instead on being a good person and following god. Tips that help me not get overwhelmed with chores : have husband do it lol 🤣 No seriously give him 2 chores, not ones that need to be done daily but instead weekly or biweekly. When he’s home it is 50/50 on the kids sorry not sorry Divide ur house into 3 areas. Area that cannot get dirty must always be clean this would be ur bedroom. Area that can get dirty but must be cleaned at end of day ex: kitchen Area that can get dirty and maintain dirty until u feel like cleaning it . Ex guess room or patio

Solidarity girl. This is totally normal I feel like! Growing a human is HARD!
