Do you drink at something? What is it? Is it something that feels like you cant say out loud without sounding ungrateful or being labelled a “bad mom.” Drinking kept me small for so long. It wasnt until i stopped drinking that i could let the rage speak up. Get loud. #fedup #emotionallabor #fairplay #sobermom
If you are feeling emotionally, drained, and exhausted from motherhood, raise your hand. Mothers are set up to fail in our society with consistent messaging that this is all we should ever want. And if we are not fulfilled by motherhood alone, we are not good mothers, or we are ungrateful. Which is the opposite of the truth. So many mothers are genuinely grateful, but we are and always will be more than just mothers #motherhood #f#fedup e#emotionallabor f#fedup f#fairplay
I think it’s easy for women to get automatically assigned the mental load and emotional labor at home. Because we’re good at it. We are multitasking experts. We do well under pressure. And because we are passionate about the outcome. Frankly, even though my partner and I have resolved much of the labor distribution challenges we once had at home, there are still so many things I cling onto because I love being so integrally involved . And it’s hard to let go of control. But it is absolutely essential if you are going to move away from contempt and burn out and into a healthier mental space. You can read more about this topic and how to resolve it in your home in my upcoming book available for preorder anywhere books are sold: Its Not About The Wine: The Loaded Truth Behind mommy wine culture. #i#itsnotaboutthewine m#mentalload f#fedup e#emotionallabor
