I’ve hit on this before, but I wish I knew why I find it hard to accept help. Help is valid and I encourage other moms to accept and I offer it myself, but I guess I just don’t feel I need it? I feel like I can handle it all and only accept if I feel like I’m drowning a bit.

Maybe it’s also a little I feel I “should” be able to handle it?? Cause it can be so overwhelming at times

I feel this so deeply! It is so hard to turn off that ‘I can handle it all’ mindset and actually accept help before reaching the breaking point. You are definitely not alone, mama! Hugs

And why do we have guilt, it’s chores, not like we are going to a party! Even just taking a shower… like that’s not me time that’s hygiene lol
