Motherhood

 

                                                     

I know everyone thinks this topic is very emotional and touching, but today’s topic is also very difficult.

Yes, I have realized that my identity feels limited to being “only a mother.” I can’t go anywhere without my child. I can’t do whatever I want, and in fact, I can’t even eat until they have eaten. Why do mothers always have to sacrifice so much? Why are we always blamed for everything related to our child?

I know I wanted this child, and this is my responsibility. But sometimes I feel like I wasn’t fully prepared for this change. People say a child gives you a new birth — and that’s true. But I don’t want to feel like a maid to someone who treats me like a nobody, like a robot without feelings.

That’s why motherhood can feel so tough, especially if you’re not mentally prepared. You have to listen to yourself, because no one else is going to truly take care of you and your child the way you can.

I want to enjoy this stage of life and give lots of love to my child. But sometimes I feel frustrated and not in the right state of mind to care the way I want to. I know this is natural — but I need to improve myself and become stronger emotionally.
