The most beautiful gift god has given me is the chance to hold my baby in my arms. Nothing is more precious than the smile of my little one. But it is not a simple task to raise baby, like I thought before I had her. Motherhood asks a lot from you. There will be days when their will be eternal bliss cuddling your baby. There will be many joyous moments that will make you want to leave everything and be just a mother. Also, there will be times when you would feel frustrated, exhausted. It is a journey that brings mixed emotions. Here, I am listing five Motherhood Challenges that I am facing raising my little munchkin:
1. Helplessness when they are hurt:
When my baby had her first wound she was not even one. I remember how hard was it for me to see her crying inconsolably with pain and what I could do was nothing but hold her. These are the most emotionally taxing moments where you cry when your bay cries and wish you could have some magic wand to take away their pain.
2. Unable to hold emotions:
I, like you all, constantly struggle to be the best mother to my daughter. But there are days when my bad emotions due to work stress take over and I feel ashamed at the end of the day for not being able to hold back and be the perfect mother.
3. Unable to tackle tantrums:
As the children grow bigger, there will be tantrums in eating, dressing , sleeping everything. There are times when I am able to make her understand and subdue her tantrums. But the failed moments where there’s denial to eat is challenging.
4. Worrying thoughts:
Worrying is a constant companion of mothers. whether the child had enough sleep, is the tummy filled, how is she doing in school, does she have a good company. All these small things are always on my mind. And I know this will only grow with time.
5. Lost “ME Time”:
I crave for the days when I can just move out when I want, shop the way I like, sleep when it’s time. All this is just not possible when you are working mother who is left with only a weekend to be with the baby.
No matter how challenging motherhood be, but its the most joyous journey I have been ON
