I LOVE MYSELF

My husband often ask me ....

"If you're so tired and complaining, why do you stay on the phone until 1am?"

Because, even for a few hours, I can forget the hundreds of times I hear "mom" and I focus on something else. Because, during those moments, I feel like I have a life beyond motherhood and housework.

When the kids fall asleep, I feel a deep emptiness. That's when I want to turn off my brain with a series or a video that takes me out of "mom" and "housewife" mode, just for a moment.

I don't regret motherhood or taking care of my children and the house. But sometimes, I feel like I'm losing myself. These stolen hours allow me to find myself, to feel lighter and to remember who I was.

Sleeping a few more hours won’t take away this fatigue, because it’s also emotional, mental and psychological.

Being a mother and running a home is both wonderful and exhausting. When a mother complains, it’s not that she wants to give up everything; she’s simply exhausted. Let’s be united, listen and support those who need it. Sometimes, all it takes is a listening ear for her to find the energy to continue.

Remember, the one who takes care of everyone also needs to be taken care of. ❤️
