S2:2: Erm, Where's The Manual For This?
Manage episode 435316128 series 3557048
So this week we are discussing all things Expectations vs Reality of parenthood!
We share our personal stories of how we expected motherhood to be vs. what we are experiencing now. We note a lot of hard times but also the really important point, that phases do pass and there is light in each of those stages to most definately enjoy!
Do we have it all figured out? Absolutely not! But are we learning as we go and finding joy in the "WTF" moments? Absolutely. It doesn't mean it's all easy... and perhaps our experiences are not yours, but they are still valid in our journeys on this motherhood train! We get into how "holidays" have changed, how "acceptance" of things can help you rationalise things, and how personal development pre and post babies looks a little different...as do some of the simple things in life, like taking a poo! We might have felt a little lost at times, and perhaps sometimes we still do but we know it won't always be this way! We loved recording this episode and hope it gives you, our wonderful listeners, some food for thought, a feeling of "we're all just out here doing our best" or just a moment to check yourself and know you're doing a great job!
Right, let’s get into it! ___
