I’m a mom of three kids at three different stages (5, 7, and 9), and I feel like I’m drowning. Between school drop-offs, meal planning, endless laundry, and trying to make sure they all feel loved and supported—I’m completely exhausted. My husband works long hours, and by the time he’s home, he’s too tired to help out much, so everything falls on me. I love my kids, but it feels like there’s no time left for me. I can’t remember the last time I did anything just for myself. Some days, I just want to cry from how overwhelming it all feels. Does it ever get easier? How do you find any time for yourself without the mom guilt? I feel like I’m running on fumes.
You’re doing so much, and your kids are lucky to have you. Just wanted to say—you’re not alone. It’s hard, and the mom guilt can feel heavy, but you’re doing a great job. Sometimes, just getting through the day is a win. Sending hugs.
