I wish I could just take a day and just go shopping to like five or six different stores like I used to before I had kids. Not even buy anything, just shop aimlessly. I hate saying things like that outloud, but this is a wish that I secretly have. I love my little kiddos but a break for the day where I can just have no responsibility. Before having babies, I never thought it would be something I would miss out on.

I feel you, I truly miss the quick in and out stops at the stores and the long just walking around the department stores with out having to worry if you forgot something for the baby or if it’s time to pump or change a diaper

I feel this so deeply as well! just a day where we can do whatever we want without worry! I wish this but with the river and going to hot springs. I feel these moments are going to be quite stressful now but that’s okay

I’ve seen influencer moms on tiktok and youtube go everywhere with their baby, putting them in a carrier or a stroller and posting a cute video of them with coffee and treats. I’m just like how do they do that?? It’s so unrealistic and daunting for most of us who can’t do those things anymore or are afraid of taking their babies out so early. Influencer moms have got to go!

Yes this!! I never thought this would be something I would miss!! Something so simple and taken for granted.
I agree! Like I’ll go to only one store, and I’m walking as fast as I can to get in and out of there as quickly as possible. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but sometimes I just give my daughter random times off the shelf to play with and chew on to buy some extra time
Oh my goodness, you literally took words out of my head. I was so not prepared for so many things because I had such a false understanding of what to expect. I want real moms and real experiences …the influencer moms make us feel so guilty and like we can’t do it, but really we are doing it and we’re doing amazing.

I would love to go shopping by myself I would actually remember what I went to the store for and not leave with only half of my list 
Oh how I felt this right here!!! You’re not the only one and just know we do need that time for ourselves and need to make it happen at least once in a while and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sending you a virtual hug.
