You must learn to enjoy her

I sometimes feel stressed what to cook for my child, how to plan naps, how to keep her busy. She is a good girl. But it seems like that the way I react to her is not always the way my husbands would like me to be. He is on a trip right now and told me yesterday on the phone that I had to learn to enjoy our child. I must say that he is super loving and super warm but he is less around her than I am. After that call, I cried and I doubted myself a lot. Am I not loving enough? Do I take things too serious? How can I be a relaxed mother? I love books, maybe you can recommend me any?

Mama, you are not failing. Being the primary caregiver is hard, and your love for your child is clear. Your husband sees things differently because he’s not carrying the daily mental load like you are. You do love and enjoy your child, but parenting is exhausting, and you don’t have to be joyful every second to be a good mom. Try simplifying where you can through easy meals, flexible naps, and low effort activities. For books, The Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies and Good Inside by Dr. Becky Kennedy are great. you’re doing amazing❤️
