Anyone else have this sense like you’re constantly living a life in déjà vu? You have routines for the kids and to fit around doing what you need to do throughout around that schedule so you just sort of do the EXACT same thing everyday? I love my kids but this schedule is driving me up the wall. And knowing I can’t change everything up because for stability my kids need a schedule. I vaguely remember when I used to be fun and spontaneous and now my life revolves around baby poop, feedings, homework, housework, kids sports, and school meetings. I’m not saying I regret having my kiddos but I do definitely miss my days of being an actual person and not a robot going through motions with schedules..

thank you. I thought I was being the absolute worse all day thinking how I’m just trudging through life right now. I really miss that “up and go” lifestyle. Getting up and just picking something to do instead I have to make time for things like 2 weeks in advance 😅

Im the same way…or was 😆. I’m not a great planner and do things when the moment comes. I feel though it’s not entirely a bad thing because having my daughter has grounded me and I’m less impulsive yet there’s that part of me misses who I was before being a mom. I totally get you.
