Hey ladies...
This is my first time posting a thread 😁
I am hoping you ladies could add to this thread with what you feel makes up your identity of being a mother.
it's a difficult one to me because sometimes I feel as if there are two identities at play... The me being a mum to three children under 6. being a busy mum who is constantly tired and striving to make sure I do my best for each of my three children individually.
Then there's the second identity where I am with out my children where I feel as I did before I had them, a lot more relaxed and care free.
With socetal pressure these days with working mums I sometimes wish I could go back to work and not feel guilty leaving my children, just so I could be just me sometimes. My husband works and I do get quite jealous that he spends his day with adult company lol.
I'm wondering if any other mums feel this way, or how they feel being a mum has contributed to changing their identity.
