Let's be real here for a minute ✨️
SAHM, Working Mums, Working SAHM - all hard all have pros and cons for different reasons. Absolutely 💯
But being a Working SAHM here's some things you might not even think about.
There is no eat when the kids eat, there's no sleep when the kids sleep.
There's clean while the kids eat or play, there's work when the kids sleep.
We are home all day, they eat every meal here every snack, they get cleaned after every mess. Theres more dishes from cooking, theres more dishes from eating. There's more washing clothes, not just when they get home but all day long.
You might think it's easier when one starts kindy - but then it becomes a full week of playdates and sports/activities. More washing of uniforms, more shopping for more daily on the go snacks, more financial pressure.
If we are behind - it means working later at night after they're in bed. It means missing tiny opportunities where we could of eaten some food ourselves or had a drink of water.
There's still endless mum guilt of never being able to do enough in every single area of your life.
Oh you're on the phone you're replying to my message? Yes, I was also working multi social media accounts to keep business flowing. Small businesses are go go go it's not a 9 to 5 its a 24 7, and so is mum life.
Do I sometimes feel like it would be easier to have a 9 to 5 job? Maybe. Do I also feel blessed and lucky to have every opportunity I currently do? Absolutely!
Never judge a mum, never judge a dad. Never judge each other. We are ALL doing our absolute best. If you see a parent having a bad day today - share some love and support even if it's an encouraging smile.
Everyone has guilt but you are always ENOUGH ✨️♥️
