Second wish 🩷

Okay so here goes my second wish :light_blue_heart: recently I’ve been noticing how sad I’ve been and how much of a hard time I’ve been having with communicating to my partner and family when I need help :confused: so i really wish to just have better communication with my partner and family to be able to get the help that I need even if it’s just to take a simple shower or to go tinkle :sob::sweat_smile: I know I need help and I should not be ashamed ! But my gosh it’s is hard !:sob: I hope my days get easier and yours do too mamas ! :pink_heart::light_blue_heart::blush:

It’s so crazy seeing things from a different perspective! I’m 2 months pp & I was building resentment towards my husbands family because they never stop coming over & never stop calling & texting. I felt like they were being overbearing and not letting me be a mom. But reading this & talking to my friends makes me realize I should be grateful & accept the help that many other moms wish for. Praying you get your help & a break soon :heart:

I was like that too for awhile. It’s so hard to ask for help because we feel like we should be able to handle it all. One thing I did for going to the bathroom and bathing is get a reclining rocking bouncer to keep in there. It’s great to set them in after taking a bath with them while you dry off too. Once they outgrow that, put a dining chair with a booster seat on it in the bathroom. I am soooo glad I did this!!! It is such a lifesaver!!!

Thank you :face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears:

Yeah I have the bouncer and all but even just a shower completely on my own would be so so nice :sob::sob:

It can be incredibly hard to ask for help and then even accept it! But I say this all the time we are just moms we are humans !!! If we don’t take care of ourselves how can we take care of others,

Now I need to learn to take my own advice :joy:

I struggle to ask for help too, especially with my husband since English is my second language. Sometimes I feel like maybe he doesn’t understand me, lol. I just wanted to make you laugh a little. It’s easier said than done, but try to ask. If no one listens, scream it out. If that’s still not effective, cry it out while also screaming.

I hope this doesn’t offend you, but I’ll leave this here:
Psalm 34:17 “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. In my distress I called upon the Lord; I cried to my God for help.”

I hope you get the help and rest you need mama. hugs

I totally understand that. It’s hard but you have to keep your own cup full before you can fill the cup of others. There’s no shame in asking for helping hand. Most are happy to. Adorable picture btw, my son has the same onesie :bear:
