There one thing I learned about being a mother and a wife......its ok to just think about you never loose who you are. It's ok to take care of your own self. This is why I work for my own identity outside of mom and wife even when I was a stay at home mom I made it my business to say no kids no hubby Frederica time.......its ok to say me first today

It’s like.. I needed to see this, but I don’t know how to find/keep myself as a SAHM; where you have your thing, I don’t have anything like that. :(

Before my son was born, I did a lot of different things. Taking photographs, doing photo editing, Hell.. even coloring. But my son is very needy, and I don’t know how much of that has to do with it always just being he and I, and how much is to do with his lip tie because he always wants to be nursed. So I can’t really do any of those things because I’m so hands on with my son basically 24/7. I can’t even get off the bed while he’s napping usually without him waking up. Only time he will sleep on his own is when he’s gotten a bottle and is full vs still being hungry while nursing and falling asleep.
See I thought I was alone wen I was with my husband the past two years I really ain’t take care of me unless it’s once in a blue moon I guess it was the more kids I had and being home all the time and working I started to forget about me
