  • The one reason no one talks about why motherhood is so hard. Motherhood is hard because fatherhood is easier. Harder or easier is always "in relation to". So, when we say motherhood is hard, it's in relation to fatherhood (and/or everything else😆)!
    Maybe I'm not suppose to say that. Fathers, don't come at me, just riding motherhood honestly with mothers. 😄

    100% agree with you Dawn! Fatherhood is so much easier because nothing much changes for them. They have their job, which means they at least have a social life with their work colleagues, have a fixed schedule of work/"free" time, and they earn money which also provides a feeling of satisfaction. As opposed to a SAHM who is with the baby all day long, no fixed schedule, is the baby's prime source of nutrition (if they breastfeed), and does not earn money for that. The difference is HUGE.

      Yes! I am glad we can relate! However, it is also a bit sad that society has placed so much on earning money and self worth that I feel it devalues full time stay at home moms! It is rewarding as well and satisfying even when there is no monetary value in our work. i hope we can remember that! 💛

      @@dawnforlife I agree, society has done a terrible disservice to the family unit in this regard. I can't wait to be a mom, and pray I am able to be a SAHM as I personally see far more value if I were to be at home with my kids. The experience is priceless: for the mom, for the children, and the overall wellbeing of the family unit. I strongly believe each family should feel free to do what they feel is best for their family, this is just my opinion of what my ideal family-life would be. It would be nice if each family were able to afford such decisions though. Thank you for the honest and candid video :)

      It's so true! The role of a mother is literally life changing! So many adults are suffering from the lack of parental attention/love in their childhood. So, when there is a choice, I now think it really is so important and it's so nice that you already know that you want to become a SAHM! It is the most rewarding and the challenging job I've ever done!

    I can relate . One option for the money-question ; you could agree on a small amount of personal " pocket money " for you every month . Money which you can spend as you like or need or save without having to ask your husband every time . Only what the family can afford ofcourse . Bigger spendings are natural to be divided and discussed .

      Actually, my husband kinda lets me do what I want and offers cash without me asking. He doesn't control but it's my problem that I feel this way somehow. haha! Thanks for the suggestion though. Definitely something to consider. A fix amount every month!

    So true, I absolutely agree with you, my dear! I was staying home, mom, for 4 years, and I will never do it again!!!! I like taking our kids' responsibilities equally as well with other bills!!!

      haha! I like how honest you are. I'm nearing 3 years and I think I've come to accept and enjoy it so I won't say I'll NEVER do it again but we have come to agree on more things and it doesn't feel so lonely anymore. Also, when child is bigger, they naturally asks the father to do things too 😆

    Motherhood is way harder than fatherhood. We are nearly two months in and my boyfriend seems completely unable to comprehend the level of sleep deprivation I'm having from raising our child alone 20 hours a day (he works long hours so only has those 4 hours each day to help out with her).

    • @dawnforlife
      @dawnforlife  2 года назад +1

      Oh dear..I FEEL you! For me, my husband slept in another room since he works in the day and I thought rather have one than 2 sleep deprived parents but the thing is, when they don't experience it, they really don't know it. They can't see why it seems like nothing is done at home but we barely could do any basic self care/cook/eat! To be honest, I was or maybe still am quite resentful due to that.
      Please be gentle on yourself, do what you can at YOUR comfortable pace. 2 months is still very very new. It will change and one day you will get a bit more sleep. Sending you lots of love and congratulations on being a mom. You are doing fantastic!

      @@dawnforlife yes the barely being able to eat part lol. They say sleep when your baby sleeps, but most of the time I eat when she sleeps. His mom actually came over yesterday to watch her so I could sleep

    I feel exactly the same way in my family even though my husband put no pressure on me about money. I am stuck between the emotional roller coaster of spending 'his money' and continuation with a job that that I know I am not going to be happy with. The option is still there as I am currently in parental leave. BTW, Thank you so much for making this video. I feel that I am not alone.

    It’s true. Entire life is changed. Ur whole life is about scheduling and it can be hard to not miss those spontaneous days! Or just having a random outing whenever you want to.
    I always feel like I have to ask for money as well! And I feel as if I need a good reason and explain myself 🤣 this was my life on display omg.

    Ever run conduit through an attic on a 110° day? I can't say for sure, but I'll bet it's like a watered down version of giving birth. All jokes aside I can't say because I don't have kids, but my objective (mostly) opinion is that it's different for each but equal in general.

    • @dawnforlife

      Women don’t get it maybe we should change places for a month so they can get a real good feel of fatherhood
