Something that gives me still Me moment is going out. We don’t get to go out as much as we used to go out before Kids of course but my husband prioritizes us still having some bit of a social life so even whenever I’m down and out and just wanna clean or get things in order he encourages me to go out. I don’t want to because I have so much to do but once he gets me out, I’m always so thankful because honestly, it’s what makes me feel the most. It’s still me even with the kiddos. Anyone else have this where you just want to stay in but you need to get out?

Aww this is such a cute picture! Y’all look so alike! 
I go back and forth…but most days I just want to stay home, especially if an outing conflicts with nap time or bedtime. I’ve had to learn to let it go and just have fun sometimes, even if it means playing catch up for a couple days.

Same…you can lose it a little. I think because we have so much mental load!

I’m always stuck between wanting to stay home and getting out of the house. I’ve been trying to work on getting out of the house more, the chores can wait!

This!!! Exactly I try not too but sometimes it can definitely get to a point
Yes— it is so hard. I also have adhd so when things are a wreck, my mind is a wreck.
i totally relate to you mama it happens to me a lot that when i have so many things to do i definitely do not want to go out but my husband tells me that things can wait but my well-being cannot so that is something i find very hard to do but i feel that same sensation of not wanting to leave the house even though i know i need to so i love my husband for that because whenever he is off even if he is tired we always go out we always go for a walk in the mornings so now that he is going to be on vacation we decided to go for walks in the afternoons and maybe in the mornings too to socialize more with people i have always been very sociable but not so much lately for the same reason i just do not have much time i think i am very focused on my kids although i know that is not good either but it is okay i know that all this sacrifice is totally worth it
