Loving my motherhood journey but definitely missing my old freedom. Lately I’ve been wishing to have some alone time where it’s just me, no looking after anyone or being with anyone just enjoying some alone time doing anything like before. But still wouldn’t change what I have now for it.

I feel this! sometimes I just want to sit by myself and not have to answer a million questions or get anyone anything. I got to take a hot shower without any one bothering me and it was amazing 
I understand, it really is a mix of both, loving where you are but still missing who you used to be sometimes. It is completely normal to crave that alone time where you can just exist without responsibilities for a little while. Motherhood changes so much, but it does not erase you. Wanting space to recharge does not mean you love your kids any less, it just means you are human. Those little moments you take for yourself can make you feel even more present when you are back with them. That’s why it is important for us mama to take a real good break. Hugs mama

Or just the ability to get out of the house quickly! I have the memory of an adhd goldfish and I keep forgetting about appointments and stuff until day of, sometimes within an hour of the appointment… it takes SO long to pack up baby and all the stuff we need to survive leaving the house. I used to be able to throw on whatever clothes I had on the floor and run out the door if I had to

It is so hard to get out of the house quickly! I have a magnetic calendar on the fridge and write everything on it so I don’t forget and it has helped a lot! One thing that helps me get out the door easier is I try to get everything that I will need ready the night before and lay everyone’s clothes out and anything they need for the day. if I don’t I’m like Dory 
from finding Nemo and forget all kinds of stuff

I know what you mean! There’s so many things we take for granted before having kids. They’re our world, but it definitely would be nice to get a break!
