Working full time, running a blog, and being a mom can be downright exhausting at times. Sometimes so much so that I just feel like I want to quit everything and run away. Live on the beach on an island somewhere with just me and my baby boy. LOL. The dream, right?! I am sure any of you mama’s out there know how tough it can be at times. And as a new mom you are also struggling with keeping up with YOUR identity – who WAS I before I had a baby? And not to mention the constant ‘mom guilt’ that can come up now and again. Why do I need to feel guilty if I want to go have a drink with my girlfriends? Or if I want to go shopping by myself for an hour or two? It goes on and on – I think you are getting the drift. Balancing ‘it all’ can be tough and quite the emotional roller coaster at times but it can also be worth it.
Work Life Balance for New Moms
Today I am talking about something that many of you mamas out there might understand all too well…Mom Guilt. It’s the worst. Something a lot of you might not know about me is that I work full time and my husband is a stay at home Dad. I actually love our arrangement most days, but then some days I find myself feeling guilty for working and not being at home with my babe. I start to ask myself questions like, ‘shouldn’t I be home with him? I am his mom after all…’ But my husband is such an AMAZING Dad he makes me feel so good about going to work and is always reassuring me that I am providing for the family right now and that is okay.
