Motherhood

Question

After having a child, I realized that in the eyes of society mothers cant:- Complain (who told you to have kids?)- Cry (why are you crying? Did you think it was easy?)- Getting tired of what? (you do nothing!)- Sleep (Youre lazy!)- Rest (youll have plenty of time for that after they grow up) - Getting pregnant again (are you crazy? How many more kids do you want?)- Quitting work (how will you support your child?)- Work (who will take care of the child?)- Leave them at the nursery (Don’t let others raise them!!)- Being a housewife (Poor husband, works too hard and his wife stays at home!!)- Being single (nobody wants a woman with kids)- Going out for fun (why are you leaving your son with grandma to have fun?)And you know whats worse???90% of these phrases are spoken by other women.Lets learn to be more supportive of each other. Im human and I love my kids but Im guilty  of all these emotions  at some point # work # love # societyCtto. 💕

Uy, ang totoo nito! Sobrang dami talaga ng unspoken rules na parang dapat lang tayong mag-suffer in silence, pero honestly, kakainis na yan kasi we're doing our best na. A few of us moms talk about this all the time, paano ba natin dapat i-balance ang lahat without feeling guilty about literally everything, right? The worst part talaga is when it comes from other women na parang forgot na they were struggling din before, at instead of lifting each other up, mas lalo pang binibigatan. We need to normalize na okay lang maging tired, okay lang umiyak, okay lang mag-take ng time for yourself, na hindi automatic na means you don't love your kids. Thank you for putting this out there because marami talaga sa atin na kailangan marinig na this guilt trip culture stops with us.
