How do you do it? How do mothers everyday juggle work, kids, husband, house work and not having a meltdown every now and then. I wish I can find answers to this question.
I go through stages. Few weeks I am fine and think of myself as a super woman for going to work early, getting groceries, making diner while trying to entertain a very active toddler who just needs to see what mama is cooking otherwise she'll through a tantrum, feeding the active toddler diner, feeding the husband diner, play/chase the toddler, change the toddler into pjs, brush teeth (in our case one tooth), wash bottles, pack lunches for the next day, sometimes do laundry, pick up toys around the house, and finally sit down on the couch with a cup of tea. ***Such a run on sentence, but whatever***
After a few weeks of thinking I can handle it all, I have a meltdown. I feel like I don't get any help from the husband. I feel like I am the only one doing things constantly around the house, while the husband comes home late (around 8:30), eats diner and places his behind on the couch to chilax.
I've tried to loosen up a bit. And there are days when I can forget about the dirty kitchen floor and the laundry and just live in a moment and enjoy life. But there are also other days when I feel like my To Do list is growing on me. Like I try to watch a movie at night, but the only things going through my mind is that I have to pack lunches, clean-up the house, wash this, wash that, and so on...How you find balance in life, in motherhood??? That is the big question and I can't find the answer to it just yet.
