Thoughts?

I’m a single mum, but I often have this thought because kids are so demanding, I wonder how people manage the maintenance a decent relationship and the needs of their children.

It’s not wrong to feel like that, your life has changed. I sometimes feel that way, miss the independence I had being able to just go places on a short notice. The thought doesn’t mean you don’t love your family

It’s perfectly normal to mourn the loss of your old life. Your identity and life has completely transformed (see Matresence).

This is a lot to adjust to. Sometimes people think the baby will be an addition to their lives, not realizing that the baby will become central. I get it, because until you have one, how can you know?

This is normal. Talk to a therapist, though, to work through some of your thoughts and feelings so you aren’t bottling them up. This will help you process them in a healthy manner.
