Lazy

I was literally just thinking about this today. Yes I feel like I should be doing more

If you feel lazy then do more 🤷‍♀️

I feel the same way I clean up some but since stuff happened that made us need to stay with his mom, they usually do all the cooking if it's on the grill then my husband cooks but if not then his mom is cooking, she's always saying she wants to, so I feel like I'm not doing enough His mom always says all she wants me to do is focus on the kids but sometimes I still feel useless Talk it out with your husband. Are you just not motivated or PPD? For me it's both

That’s all I do. I don’t feel guilty or lazy. Keeping yourself and another human alive is hard

@Melanie I already am doing a lot but it just doesn’t feel like I do anything and my husband says I do more than I think I do

@Melanie I also have 3 other older kids so that makes it even harder

@Nevaeh my husband says I’m doing so much more than I think but it feels as tho I do nothing I cook dinner and play with the baby and pick up the living room and I’m in school for teaching but that’s about it

@Kaytlen going to school and you have a baby, you are doing great, I think you just need to give yourself some credit

@Kaytlen I felt like this before too. What helped me was recording myself during the day during everything I did and playing it back at the end of the day and being like woah I did a lot more than I thought

I feel the same way. He comes home from work and does the dishes and makes dinner for us. Even on his breaks he makes lunch. But taking care of a baby and yourself (I’m a first time mom) is pretty taxing. We both find some free time to ourselves in a day but that wouldn’t be possible for me if I was doing all those things and I wouldn’t be able to care for my child the way that I do. I do clean our room though and sometimes when the baby isn’t fussy I’ll load the dishwasher or put water in the ice tray. Just look at the positive and keep in mind you can’t get these moments back. My personal opinion is that’s more important than things that can get done later or when the baby doesn’t feel like they need you that second

"sit here and take care of the baby"... ma'am give yourself some grace. Be easy on yourself. I don't know what social media has gotten you and SOOO many other women thinking but you are doing more than enough!!! Especially if you're in school. Life is calm right now and you need to enjoy the peace. It's hard sometimes if you grew up in a hectic environment. Sometimes we feel like we need to do more but in all reality we need to do less and embrace that quiet.
