Motherhood isn’t what I thought it would be
Has anyone else been struggling with the transition to motherhood? Today I woke up and kept thinking that I do not want to be a mother anymore. It’s too hard. I know it’s not possible to not be a mother now but I’m just miserable.
Idk what I was thinking. My whole life I wanted to be a mom. Now I’m 33 as a FTM. I have a high paying successful career and had pretty much everything. Idk why it’s so hard for me to adjust.
I struggle the most with the lack of sleep. Sometimes I get so angry. I would never hurt my baby. But I also was diagnosed with DMER which makes things worse.
Baby is 2 months old for reference.

We have a Similar profile. I lived my life, made money and had my first child at 37. He's 4 y.o. now and I love being a mom, but the transition was tough, and i think its because this society teaches success is money and status. Children strip your ego down and simplify life. In the meantime, your friends change, and you begin to see yourself differently. Before you know if, the way you used to strive to br the best employee, you want to be the best mom. Also, while im currently a SAHM, you may be one of those lucky ones to have career and family. Right now, I focus on family and healing from this capitalist society. Good luck mama
