Why is it so hard to be a mom and find a job and take care of yourself? Like I feel like I can only do one thing at a time. When I take care of baby i can’t take care of myself. When I’m taking care of myself, I can’t take care of my baby. And when I’m trying to find a job I can’t do anything else at all. There’s not enough hours in the day to do all the shit that I need to do.
But then some days I feel great and productive and amazing. Other times this feeling just comes out of nowhere and I feel like I’m stuck.

Because each of those things is a full time job in and of itself and in almost every other country in the world there is SO much more support for moms! It feels like we have to take on too much because we do and the expectations are literally impossible. We are out here doing work and school and side hustles all while raising a whole human being like when they say "you can have it all" it kinda feels more like a curse than a blessing lol
