I am 𝙨𝙤 tired… People say “these 2020 babies are 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵” but what they’re not talking about is the exhaustion that comes it.

I am so touched out. Every waking moment Juju is tugging at my clothes, screaming and crying for attention. We co-sleep, nurse all night, and the only thing that seems to make him stop screaming is nursing on demand.
•
This adorable baby is so reliant on me. It’s all he knows.
•
This coupled with parenting a toddler on the spectrum…each day my “breaking point” is challenged and I’m pushed further and further beyond it. I have to adapt. I can’t stop. I can’t wake up one day and say, “I think today I’ll take it easy.” It never stops.

If you feel like life is drowning you, like these other “hot mess moms” seem as if they still manage to get it all done, I can confidently say they’re most likely struggling the same as you. They’re just not talking about it.
•
It’s hard to talk about it. You feel like a failure. Generally people aren’t supportive, and you’re met with comments like “When I was a SAHM, I did all these things. It’s not that hard.” Or “It could be worse, stop complaining.” and so much more.
•
I will never stop talking about it. This is freaking hard. No one should ever make you feel like your struggle isn’t valid.

You’re doing a good job, mama.
