- HI FRIENDS! In today's day in the life of a 9-5 working mom vlog, I get real and raw with y'all. I had a very difficult morning with my 1 year old daughter and I broke down crying after feeling so guilty. Some days are just challenging and I want to share the tough moments that I have, because I think a lot of you can relate.
Hope you enjoy!

If only I had a nickel for every time I had to remind myself that babies will cry. (And toddlers will tantrum, and teenagers will be emotional, etc etc). These kinds of days are always tough. You are brave to be so vulnerable on your channel and I feel like it’s so helpful for moms to see they aren’t alone.
Totally!! Those days are tough but they it is totally normal and that most moms are going through the same thing behind closed doors! So glad we were able to connect 💕
I can so relate to this it's like soo hard being a working mom plus taking care of the kids I feel u mama
@@Amanda_FadulI understand I have those days
Being a working mom is soooo hard. We have to choose work over the immediate needs of our kids sometimes and it sucks so bad! I could feel your stress and anxiety during this video. Virtual hugs
You totally hit the nail on the head! It’s hard but we’re strong and doing our best 💕
I don’t know why RUclips suggested this video for me, but I’m glad it did. I’m a working mom and I have such bad mom guilt some days. Trying to balance motherhood and a career is TOUGH.
Aw yay! Working mamas unite! You’re so right…it can be so challenging balancing everything but it just goes to show we can have it all! 💓💓💓
When my daughter was that age, I had to be at work at 6am. Our mornings ended up like this often because we would be so rushed getting out the door and getting her dropped off. I would feel so guilty all day at work. I can still feel that guilt and she's 23. Mom guilt is the worst! It's so hard to be a working mom. You are doing a good job! Just give her extra cuddles tonight :)
Awe mama I totally relate! I try so hard not to hold onto the guilt but it’s inevitable 😭 the extra cuddles are key! Thanks so much for the comment ❤️❤️
Hi Amanda! Fellow working Texas mom of two littles. It’s rough but we do what we do for the best reasons and the best intentions. Hope the new year brings you and the family joy to enjoy each season ❤
What toothbrushes are you using with the kids??
There’s nothing to feel guilty about. You are a successful mama that she’ll be proud of an example to be like, she completely understand that when she’ll be a mama too
You’re doing a great job. It’s hard to meet someone else’s needs when you’re spread too thin yourself. Some days, keeping them fed and alive is all you can do. When the bare minimum is a monumental task, be gentle with yourself. I was working two jobs, one outside of the home early in the morning when my daughter was sleeping, coming home and working a 2nd full time job from home while keeping my daughter all day. I did this everyday for 2 years. My days started at 4am and ended by 8pm… finally my husband and I had a talk, I was spread way too thin and didn’t feel like I could effective give anything the full dedication it deserved. My daughter comes first and she was my priority. So, Thanksgiving, I stopped working and have been fully focused on my daughter. After a rough December with a family emergency that took me away from home for almost the entire month- I’ve been spending the last 6 weeks getting myself together and recovering from absolute burn out. I know how it is to feel like your in primitive survival mode, nothing feels good or great, but things will get better. Off days happen. You’ve got this!
Oh mama! That initial schedule sounds so exhausting! I’m so glad that you’ve slowed down and can now focus on yourself and your family ❤️ sending love 😘
I was able to be a working mom for our first 2 kids. After having our 3rd kid I couldn’t get everybody ready and be out of the door on time most days, and I had to leave work several times a week to pick up a sick little one from daycare. (IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH) I am very strong but it was the hardest thing I had ever tried to do. My husband and I decided that I should be a stay at home mom for the sake of my sanity. Now that our 4th child will be going to school next year I will be going back to work.
Going to work everyday was much easier than going to work, raising little ones and taking care of our home.
I thank God that I have a very supportive husband who is a hands on dad that also makes good money.
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your journey! I love that you were able to have both experiences of being a working mom and SAHM! Which do you prefer? Best of luck as you return to working! It also truly is a blessing to have a supportive husband 🙏🏻💕
I have to remind myself that everyday is going to be a different day. My kids are 9 and 11 my son is autistic and mostly non verbal and i work from home. Im a 31 year old mama and it’s ok to not be ok all the time. Sometimes kids will be fine and sometimes they will flip for reasons we don’t understand and it’s okay. And mom guilt is so hard on us mamas because we feel “maybe i could have done more, maybe i did something wrong” don’t question your logic you’re amazing! Be easy on yourself love ❤ working from home full time and juggling kids and keeping up on the home is NOT easy but the fact you make the best of it gives us all so much hope and excitment❤ mamas gather together! We got this! ❤❤❤
I can’t agree more! Every day is different and sometimes we have to go through the harder ones to appreciate the good ones! Keep up the great job mama, it’s not easy but we’re warriors 🩷🩷
Thank you for being so open with us and showing the reality of motherhood, you’re doing an amazing job at raising those kiddos ! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words and for allowing me to feel comfortable to share these vulnerable moments! 💕💕
Thank you for sharing the real moment as a working mom and your honest feeling. I had the similar issue this morning, after that I felt so guilty. I tried to find a youtobe contents for my comfort but almost all the contents are showing good parts of child rearing. I sympathized with your feeling a lot. Thank you for sharing again.
Aw thanks so much for the comment! ❤️ we’ve definitely all been in similar situations and it’s so hard sometimes but I’m glad that this community has been so supportive and it allowed me to feel comfortable sharing more vulnerable moments like this. Sending love to you ❤️❤️
Thanks for showing a ‘real’ day in the life! Most content out there is about these perfect days when in real life the story is quite different. I am a new (first time) momma and will be joining back my full time job from next month. I find your content very relevant and inspiring😊Keep making great videos and wish you and your beautiful family a very Merry Christmas 🎄
You’re welcome and thank you so much for the sweet comment! Keeps me motivated to make more videos! 💕 I’m glad the video has been so relatable to many women out there! Our lives aren’t perfect all the time and I think it’s important to share those parts that aren’t. Best of luck when you return to work! You got this mama! 💪🏻💓 Merry Christmas and happy new year!
I appreciate how real this video is. As a mum of 2 little ones, i definitely felt this.
So glad you enjoyed it! Sending love 💕💕
I have those days. It’s hard; we go through struggles. I actually thought I was the only one that goes through this. It’s good to hear someone else’s stories, it helps in a way. Thank you
You’re so right! I think a lot of women struggle with this but we feel like we have to keep it together and usually don’t share because we don’t want to burden others with our problems but we’re human 💕 happy to know I’m not alone 😊
I appreciate this raw realness. So often mothers only show the great moments and when the rest of us have those "real" moments, we feel bad about it because we feel bad for how we've reacted but we also feel bad because it makes us feel like we aren't measuring up to what we see others doing. Being a mom is hard, and you're doing great! You're practically a super human to have two children that age and work full time. Thank you for being so authentic. I remember your videos when you were TTC Quinn and I was also on that journey. It's so wonderful to see both of our babies here in the flesh (my daughter is 18 months), but the blessing of having them here doesn't negate how challenging it can be at times.
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! Love that we were both on our TTC journeys and now we have beautiful girls! It is so challenging and I’m so happy I shared this because I knew other moms are going through it and you’re so right, only seeing the “highlight reels” isn’t reality and it’s hard to not compare yourself sometimes. 💕💕💕
I love your videos and that you are so real and honest! Your children are adorable! I completely understand the struggles of being a working mum, it’s hard, but you’re doing an amazing job! ⭐️
Aw thank you so much!! Right back atcha mama! We’re doing it ALL and we’re crushing it! 💓💓
I’m sorry. I get it. Mamas who work for a third party really have a unique experience that doesn’t get shared enough on social media. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty.
This is so true! I love sharing what a real day looks like as a working mom and I’m so glad I can connect with others who are experiencing the same thing! 💕
When you started tearing up I did too. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤
Awww🥹 thanks for the comment! 💕💕
Aww girl I feel your pain. You started your day anxious wondering if your baby was sick and then to have all the drama in the morning and have a meeting coming up! So hard but thank you for sharing. I've felt like this recently and it's so helpful to not be alone.
So glad to connect with others like you who have experienced the same thing! It’s definitely hard but it’s part of life with little kids and we just have to keep it moving ❤️
Amanda, you are stronger than most. You are kicking butt at the working mom game.. we all have our moments as moms.. girls are different than boys trust me, I have two! Good luck and keep doing what your doing girl! Hugs
You’re so sweet, thank you!! 💓💓
Dear Amanda,you are a star!!I found your vlog randomly and I JUST love it!!Thank you for bringing real mum- life to RUclips scene!You are a big inspiration!Sending much love from Prague💜🌹
Awe thank you so much! 🥹 so happy you’re enjoying the videos and great to connect! 🫶
You’re doing great!!! As a full time working mom, with two toddlers - thank you for being vulnerable! Sometimes I really feel the weight of it all. I know everyone goes through it and there are more good days than bad but it’s nice to know I’m not alone! We can do this! Also, same thing happened with my couch! Dye free Tylenol and Motrin are a must now!
Thank you for allowing me to feel comfortable opening up like this - it’s not easy to share this side when you’re trying to keep it all together! Keep up the great work mama! And I’ll have to look into the dye-free Tylenol! Lol 🤪
Oh momma, I’ve been there. You are wonderful! This is all part of the parenthood journey. Sending you much love!
Thank you!! Needed this ❤️ love to you!
Omg I can so relate! I just had a similar morning with my toddler then overwhelmed with mom guilt. Thanks for sharing its comforting to know we are not alone in this beautiful journey called life.
Ahhh the mom guilt is so real! Thanks for sharing - we’re definitely not alone! Keep up the great job Mama 🫶
I’m also a mom to two little ones and have had a very demanding 9-5
Felt this! - sending love Momma!
🙏🏻🙏🏻 sending love right back atcha mama!! 💓💓
Just want to thank you for being so real and vulnerable. This is the most relatable and truly realistic DITL I’ve seen. I have a 2 year old little girl and felt your every emotion bc I have those mornings where she wants to do it all her self and not wanting help. And I’m already running late to work. You are strong and your relentless love for your babies show!
Hi! You’re so welcome and I’m really happy that the video resonated with you because we all go through it but it’s hard sometimes to be vulnerable and share the tough stuff! Keep up the great job mama, we got this!! 🩷🩷
Thank you SO much for sharing this!!!! We need real life videos like this! ❤
You’re welcome! Thank you so much for your sweet comments, they make my day! 🫶🏻🤗
I got my son diagnosed with autism and I am still struggling to accept .So be grateful for what you gt dear.
I am so glad you posted this! I am in the same boat as you. I work from home and have my almost 3 year old daughter with me 2 days of the week and then my mother in law has her 3 of those days. I struggle on the days I work and have my daughter. I have a hard time balancing both and then she ends up watching tv or playing on my phone most of the day, which is horrible and I know that. I feel guily alot, trying to get her meals ready, attend meetings, finish work tasks, do laundry, dishes, give my daughter attention, make sure I am up to date on all my emails coming in....It is exhausting and I feel quite overwhelmed. I can tell you are SUCH a good mom just by the way you talk! I think you are doing a wonderful job! God bless you for all you do and Happy Mother's Day!
Aw mama I completely understand and empathize with you! I’ve been there and it is TOUGH! Keep up the great job, you sound like such a great mom! Sending hugs 💕💕
Mama thank you for sharing! We have all been there it’s nice to see we aren’t alone! Sending you hugs ❤
Thank you 🤗🤗
Thank you for this video. I really needed to see it. It's so hard juggling work and mom life and trying to be the best version of ourselves for our children. We all have days like this. Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone.
You’re so welcome mama! We all go through it! It’s so nice to know we’re not alone. We got this 🩷🩷
having a boy and girl the same age as your babies is LITERALLY a direct representation of my life atleast once a month. being a full time working mom to a job and 2 babies is so trying especially doing majority on our own! sometimes it’s too much we just have to shed a tear and cherish the good times these stressful days will soon be a memory of the past. keep your head up mama 💓
Comments like these make me feel so much more seen/not alone! It’s so challenging sometimes and like you said, a good cry is just what you need to release it all! Thanks so much for sharing and sending you all the good vibes mama!! 💕💕
So good to see you dear. Showing so hardworking & dedicated mom. I'm turning to be single working mom too and its hard with kids. I was looking for some encouragement and found you in RUclips. You go mumma❤️❤️
Aw love this! It can be challenging for sure! Keep up the great job mama!! 💓🤗
I feel you, the only thing that I can say to you, and that I say to my self is..... "give yourself the same grace that you give to others." ❤ sending you hugs, and thank you for sharing real life❤
Love that!! Thank you 💕💕 sending you love and I so appreciate the comment!
100% relate and needed to hear that I'm not alone in this struggle. Just know that you are killing it! I could never make a 9am zoom and my laundry literally sits for dayssss, I look a mess 24/7. I'm drowning! I wish I could do everything you are doing. Praying for you 🙏🏾
Praying for you mama! It’s so hard to get on top of things but celebrate the little wins and hang in there! We’re all going through it 🩷🩷
You handle the situation so well 💕
I love your painting/picture in your office!!
Thank you so much!! 💓💓
I feel you so much on this. I literally had almost the exact same morning with my almost 3yo daughter. I hate when I get to that point of anger- I do the same thing as you and put her in her room so I can go back into the situation calmly. Sadly though, being a working mom doesn’t always allow us to have that time. It’s the constant struggle of having to “choose” between work and our kids 😭 Sending positive vibes your way mama!!
Awe thanks so much for the comment mama! Yes I completely feel the struggling between balancing work and being a mom and it’s the hardest on days like this one. You’re doing great, keep it up! Sending love ❤️❤️❤️
Your doing everything right Amanda ❣️ All of us mom's have a stressful day now and then...😊
Thanks so much girl! Hope you and your family are doing well and enjoy the holidays!! ❤️❤️
Watched this and it is crazyyyy how our lives are exactly the same! I felt like I was watching myself talking. ❤ You are not alone, trust me.
Thank you for saying that!! Love that we can connect/share so many similarities…definitely makes me feel comforted that I’m not the only one! 🩷🩷
oh love, you are doing such a good job mama! I am a full time working mom too. with 2 kids.. it is so hard and mom's guilt just never go away :( .. send lots of love... Merry Christmas!!
Awe thank you so much for the sweet comment! Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄
This was nice of you to share I’m a work from home mom and my kids go to daycare as well. Our kids have days like us and I bet she had an amazing day that day at daycare. They know we love thwm
You’re so right! I have to remind myself that they’re humans and have good and bad days and that’s okay! I wish I could bounce back as quick as they can 🙃💕💕
Thank for sharing...i feel you
As A single full time working mom we have lots of those morning.
Absolutely! They’re tough but we are strong and doing what’s right for our kids 💕💕
First video I’ve watched and I appreciate how honest you are.. new subscriber!
Hi! Thanks for subbing and so glad you enjoyed the video 💕
New watcher here. I love the vulnerability of this. No bullshit….
I do feel like working moms have the advantage. I can’t imagine not having the mind shift of work to help me mentally. I already struggle with depression… working gives us a schedule for ourselves to work around. Instead of all our existence working around our motherhood schedule. I WFH too, but you’ve given me so much inspiration to get on a better routine for myself.
Sending love ❤
Hi! Thanks so much for the comment 💕 I agree with you! Work definitely gives us structure and a different kind of fulfillment that I don’t think I personally would have if I didn’t work. Keep up the great job mama!! 💕💕
I stumbled upon your channel a bit ago and I just wanted to say how helpful it is to watch this. We're in similar fields and I also work from home, and your work day sounds so similar to mine. I've been trying to figure out how my career and work days will work once I have kiddos soon, and your channel has made being a mamma and a professional feel a lot more possible to me. Thanks for this. ♥ I am slightly less nervous lol.
I’m so happy to hear this was helpful and it’s refreshing to know that it gives perspective for once you decide to have children. You classily can be a mom and have a career! Best of luck! 🫶🏻
I am new here❤. I just love how raw your volgs are . I feel for you and I am in the same situation and I completely feel for you !!!!! Thank you for sharing ❤.
Hello!! So happy you’re here and we can connect over similar experiences! Days like these can be so hard but we get through them. Keep it up Mama 💕💕
i’m a full time single mom and luckily i’m able to live with my parents for the mean time while finishing school that i’m also doing full time. I’m absolutely terrified of being on our own and i working full time and being her only parent but i your vlogs help me feel like it’s possible even with the ups and downs. you are a super mom! love your videos
Sending you hugs!! I can’t imagine the pressure you feel and I’m so thankful you have your parents! You got this mama! You’re strong and can do anything 💕💕
Amanda from a mom who has raised her kids and who worked on childcare for over 20 yrs, what your experiencing with Quinn is perfectly normal. I saw it all the time with Moms and their struggles in the morning with their kids. Toddlers can be very challenging. But stick to what you tell them and don’t give in they will learn very quickly. But Quinn being so young you just have to go through the motions with her because it too will pass. She’s going through a stage where she wants to do it all herself. Very mature for not quite 2. Your an awesome Mom and that’s all you can do for now. Just don’t be hard on yourself. The clothes are so cute
You’re so sweet, thanks so much for the uplifting comment!! Truly appreciate you 💕💕
I love this because it's real. I can relate to this because I go through this every week. The other blogs they make things seem so perfect
Thanks mama! So glad you enjoyed it! Just trying to be authentic because I know that the perfection that is shown is not real and also not attainable! It makes me feel so much better hearing from you and others that this is totally normal and sometimes we all just have hard days but we persevere! 💕💕
Where’s the guy at ????! He should be having as rough as a morning and day !
Those days are really rough! I’m learning that if it’s driving me crazy, it’s driving them crazy. When my daughter goes into a meltdown, I hug her until she lets go and I ask her if she is having a bad morning or bad dream. It happens less often now. now she will have her meltdown and come and hug me and I’ll question her. I know she is a little older bc she is a kindergartner but I really this works for you. I’m not one of those judging moms but I just wanted to share what I do. You’re such a good mom!
Aw thanks so much for the tip! I will definitely try this out next time, although it’s sometimes hard to hug during tantrums lol 🤪💕💕
You are not alone! I remember crying outside of daycare at times. My son is 12 and I have mom guilt every day. I’m a full time, executive working mom, who has worked out of the house his whole life. I’ve missed so many milestones and holidays because I work in the hospitality business. You just have to make it up in other ways. They understand.
The mom guilt is so real but you’re right, we can make it up in other ways and just by showing them love and attention and being present when we’re together makes a huge impact 💕💕
It is a massage from Korea. You are amazing how dealing with two kids as a working mom. You are doing great job, also you give me a good energy. We can do it!
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment! We got this!! 💓💓
Totally get it and you are an amazing mom love your channel and great tips I enjoy watching every video❤💪
Thank you so much!! 💕😍
Hey Amanda, I'm a work from home mama too with my 7 month old. I pray I get to be a SAHM eventually especially before we have more babies. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable experience, I had a rough day myself and also partaking in my second cup of iced coffee with you! ☕🤎
Hi mama! Thanks so much for your comment! It would be amazing to be a SAHM, I personally would love the experience although I don’t think I could do it long term because I really love working. Coffee truly can make it better 😍❤️
oh I feel you Mama and I also have these moments...it is really difficult at and times the only way to go is just cry, hug from Munich, Germany - I am also a full-time working mom and I can very much related to this
Hi mama! Thanks so much for the kind comment! You’re so right, a good cry is sometimes a nice release of emotion. Sending love your way to a fellow working mom 💕🤗
You doing a great job mom 💕💕I understand you as mother of 2 it’s the harder job ever 😢
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻💓
Oh momma, totally get it. God's got you. Love your videos.
Thank you!! ♥️🙏🏻
Working from home sometimes can feel harder than working outside the home. I used to think it would make things easier. But I quickly realized I was getting more burned out than going outside for work because I was trying to fit in doing home duties and work all together…it was hard to do it full time. Part time or PRN is really good. But full time, with the kids at home?! Is close to impossible. You’re super relatable. Love your videos ❤Thanks for Sharing!
I can totally get that Mama!! Keep up the great job and thanks so much for sharing 💕💕
Oh I cried with you mama. I’ve been a teacher of younger and older kids. Maybe call the daycare 15 minutes later and hearing she’s okay will make you feel more at ease.
Aww 🥺 yes I usually do call when things like that happen and it’s very reassuring when they tell me she’s totally fine 2 mins after I drop her off lol 💕
I hear you! I was in the middle of busy season. Entire family caught covid and my 11 month old was throwing up and fuzzy. 😢 even though I wanted to work and provide better work product, I had to sleep and take care of the baby and myself. It’s never easy
Omg that’s awful! But you do have to put yours and your baby’s health before all else. Keep up the great job mama! 💕💕
I really do understand how you feel, as a mom of 2 with my youngest being 2, and doing it alone... most mornings I want to cry but show up at work and work my butt off literally only breaking for a quick lunch and then goo home tired and have to literally deal with my kids especially the 2yo. I love them and would do it all over but I get overwhelmed.
Oh mama my heart goes out to you 💕 you have so many responsibilities and it’s completely valid to be overwhelmed. Keep up the great job, you’re a rockstar! Sending hugs 🤗🫶
Thank you for sharing! ❤
You are so welcome!
You got this !!! It happens 💪🏽😊💕
Yes! Thank you! 💕💕
I just wanted to say as a working mom of two who also works at home . This is refreshing . I have nothing against SAHM who gets it all done but …. I work . And my husband works and it takes two of us to get our life done .So this is the first time I’ve related to someone’s content. And your day in the life looks like what I want mine to look like ! I clean while working but I always feel that I’m doing more of one than the other . Yours looks balanced and I love it ! From your neighbor in Dallas TX ❤
Hi!! Thank you so much for your comment! I totally agree that we definitely have a different experience working and also having the same household and parenting responsibilities as SAHMs and I could not do it without my husband either! You’ve got this mama! Sending hugs and love from HTX!! 🫶🏻💕
That sucks when you have those bad days. Everyday is a process. You’re doing a good job Mom😊
Agreed! Thanks mama 💕
Yes always stay positive
So stressful my daughters have these type of meltdowns still and they are about to be 7, not wanting to go to school at times, im going to try and volunteer so she feels safe. Ive been stay at home mom for a few years now, and it is definitely a little easier for me to comfort them when they arent having good days because i dont have the pressure of going to work, im soon starting a part time night job so that would be a different experience. ❤ love you videos
It’s nice hearing that other mamas go through the same thing, even as the kids get older! That’s really great that you can volunteer and help make your daughter feel safe! Best of luck as you start your new job 💕💕
You did everything right! You got this mama!
Thank you! 🥹💓
My 18 month old has been testing me lately and I also work from home full time with him so I’ve found myself having these moments more and more. It is SO hard ❤❤❤
I hear you mama! These days are really difficult but we got this!! 💕🫶🏻
I'm a full time working mum to a 21month old! She's so strong willed (gets that from me) so when she doesn't want to do something it can be so frustrating especially on the mornings where I have to get her to nursery & myself to work! I had it where I've had to leave her in her highchair & leave the room for a moment to calm & re-compose myself (this happens every morning when it's time to brush her teeth) Being a working mum is extremely demanding and exhausting so like thousands of mums out there we know your struggles! XX
I can totally relate! You’re doing a great job mama! Sometimes we just need to walk away so that things don’t get worse and that’s okay! Send you hugs! Working moms unite 🤗💕
I know I’m very late to this video but I didn’t even have to finish it to follow your channel. I’m a new [working] mom ❤
😍😍 so happy you’re here mama!!
Being wives and moms are aren't always easy, but they are not always hard either. We have to learn to balance our days, time, and stop taking on more than we can handle. What I have learned from being married and having 3 children is that I Can't Lose Myself. So don't lose yourself, help yourself by taking care of yourself First, because if you don't, you won't be able to take care of anyone else. I have had to learn this the hard way. Thank God, I am stronger, better, and wiser and I learn to count it all joy!🙏❤️😊🙏❤️😊
Amen to that sister! ♥️🙏🏻
AM SO PROUND OF YOU AMANDA THIS MADE MY DAY WELLLDONE LOVE THE VIDEOS
Awe thank you so much!! You made MY day! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 🫶🏻
You work from your home that is a huge advantage and blessing
Absolutely! I feel very blessed 🙏🏻💙
Hello! So happy to see a working mom
You know it!! 🙌🏻
You are an absolutely amazing mama 🙂I love your channel so much. I've been following you since you first found out you were pregnant with Chace. Thank you for being so real!!!
I think his name is Chase.
Thank you! I can’t believe you have stuck with me for so long, that means so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love love that you shared this! I am also a working mom. My daughter is 2 and im 20w pregnant. And most mornings are so smooth but then theres some that I feel this way. I get so frustrated. Il get her fully dressed for school and shell like pee on herself, or spill a whole sippy juice on the floor and her clothes then refuse to let me change her, fight to brush her teeth. Sometimes its just her playing and wanting to be chased around the house but then when i get frustrated and it comes out, she gets upset and the imense guilt I feel afterwards is insane. Like it hurts me so much to see her upset and to even know that it could be because I caused it by yelling at her. So then like a lunatic i start crying and apologize to her. Lol. I'm a whole mess. This is not often, like I said most mornings are so smooth but I still feel bad about it when it does happen, thankfully its only been twice and hopefully thats it.
Oh mama I hear you!! It’s such a challenge when the morning gets out of control and then you act in ways you aren’t proud of and then the mom guilt creeps in. Luckily it’s not the norm and our kids know how loved they are and get over these things in minutes whereas it sticks with us the whole day sometimes 😔 hang in there and congrats on your pregnancy!! 💕💕
Kudos to you mama! I am also a Texan and a working mama and I completely understand you. This is literally me Monday-Friday. Thank you for trusting us to be vulnerable. Sending all the positive energy your way.
Yay Texas!! Thanks so much for your comment and allowing me to feel comfortable opening up! Sending those vibes right back atcha mama! 💕
I recently moved to Texas and got a surprise pregnancy… I’m currently looking for sahw .. do you ladies mind telling me what companies you work for please?
I am in that phase too. My 3 years old is so hard. I feel you it’s so frustrating and sad
Sending hugs to you mama! These days are so tough but thankfully the good far outweigh the bad 🩷
Thank you soooo much for explaining your struggles and how you feel when its happening ..it helps us moms soooo much :) side note not related...just sharing what ive been reading..its called the Empowered Wife HIGHLY RECOMMEND! AND THE PODCAST!!!! Have a good day sis :)
Thank you so much!! I will definitely check it out! ♥️♥️
Haha this is me every day wfh. I raised my voice one time while on 1:1 meeting and thought on mute... lol
😂😂
Aww! I can relate so much. We have all been there, mom. You sound like such a caring mom though! You’re doing a great job! ❤
FYI - my daughter has had Wubbas since she was a baby. Now at 4 years old we removed the pacifier but elephant Wubba is still her best friend! 😂😊
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! 🥹 those wubs are addicting to kids lol I did the same thing as you with my sons… just took the paci part off so he could still have comfort of the animal 💕
It’s so hard mommy I understand what u go through daily I’m a single mom of two and I do it all myself and get up and go to a job
You’re the real MVP, mama! Keep up the amazing job! 💕💕
I think the rushing in the home is creating a generation of kids that do have a little anxiety and kid acting out. I believe in working but I'm starting to understand how important family and house balance is and it should be priority, so being a stay home or working part time is the best choice if your are have that opportunity or plan the life change.
Creating peace unrushed and self care and home being first place is priceless, so sometimes a drop of income to have more time with family and self may be worth it. I had to downsize that allowed me to transition into part time working. Now my family, house, and kids are first place over work, I have the time to live and be in the moment instead of sitting at a work desk all day.
Good for you! Not all of us choose the same path and I'm grateful to provide a peaceful, loving, and calm home as well as having a career that's setting my family up for success.
I was like yeah, yeah.. YES.. to all of this! OMG me, me!! 😂
So glad we can relate!!! ♥️
When I went back to work after mat leave my job thankfully had flexible hybrid working situation, where I could work some days from home, but honestly working home with the baby was sooooo difficult, I felt like I was being a worse mom because of it. I was stressing all the time, I had to force her to be calm because of meetings or I need to do tasks for work. And it wasn’t easy, it was a lot. So ever since I chose to go to the office because if I’m at home I feel guilty if she went to daycare and I’m at home, but at the office at least I know that I need to put her in daycare 😂 So I get what you went through in the morning and you frustration is valid.
Thank you for sharing! The internal struggle is so challenging! I too had my daughter home as an infant and I was trying to work with her home and I also felt so stressed and felt like a failure because I wasn’t giving my all to my daughter or work so we had to put her in daycare too but it’s been really beneficial. Hang in there mama! We got this! 💕💕
As a momma of 4, I can honestly say I have been in the exact shoes u r in right now. The guilt and frustration!!
I can tell u r a great momma bc u kept control of yourself and put her in the room to give both of u guys a break. Good job ❤
Thanks for sharing and for the encouragement! It means a lot…sometimes I just don’t know the best way to handle the situation, and some quick alone time can help ❤️ we got this mama!!
Yes I feel you..

I know you're a good mom♥️ you do everything for your kids.You really inspired me by your videos..I really enjoy watching it and hope that you also take good care of yourself.Godbless you♥️
This video is amazing. I feel very lonely sometimes and the only person I can speak to about this kind of struggles is my husband. It feels like we’re the only parents who are failing and don’t have their shit together. Which I’m not saying this is the case, but it surely feels like it in the hard times.
Thank you! I’m so glad you found comfort knowing that you’re not alone! I totally relate…sometimes we have challenging days/months/years and that’s normal! Keep up the great job mama 🩷
Circle of security helps me heaps when I'm feeling spread thin.
Thank you! 🫶🫶
This too shall pass! ❤
😘
Your video makes me feel less isolated. Lol I have four kids and although my kids aren't that little anymore they were not long ago.
Love this! It can definitely feel so isolating sometimes but I think we moms all go through the same things over time! We got this! 💕💕
Samsies girl. I call my Quinn the destroyer lol she destroys the house, car rides, our plans… lol!!! She stayed up the whole night coughing while my husband was out of town and I thought the next day I wouldn’t survive, but here I am! 😅
🤣🤣 too funny!! We’re stronger than we think! Keep it up mama 💕💕
Oh I feel ya…. 😔
💕💕💕
❤
Your doing a great job!! What do you do for a living besides raising those beautiful babies?
Awe thank you!! I’m a marketing manager for an engineering society!
Sometimes if i pose it as a question, “can i help you?” Or tell her “ok let me know whenever you are ready for me to help you.”
Thank you!! She definitely responds well when I ask her to let me know when she’s ready!
Relate po ako...i have 5 children ❤
I work from home like you. I’m expecting my first and cant get in to any daycares. Do you think you’d be able to do your job with a newborn at home? The earliest I’m expected to get into daycare is when he’ll be 10 months
Congratulations mama! I think it definitely depends on the type of work you do. My newborn daughter was home with my husband and I until she was 1 (we were both working from home full time that year) so we traded off watching her depending on work/calls etc. We made it work but once she turned 1 and needed more attention and was mobile, we just couldn’t give her the attention she deserved so she started daycare and it worked out! You got this! 💓💓
I even worry who will take care of my cat when I’m gone.
How much more being a mom! 😂😂😂
😂😂 lol
❤❤❤❤
