My daughter? My mind flashes to earlier in the day. To the screaming tantrums over (apparently incorrect) lunch choices. To the swatting hits when I don’t give her the makeup brush she’s crying for. To the timeouts—oh, the timeouts!—for “not listening,” followed by wailing “I’m sowwyyyyyyyy!” echoing through our townhouse (though, hopefully not through our shared wall—sorry, neighbors!) while she’s confined to her crib. The woman’s comments make me feel like a fraud. I’m doing such a great job with her? Me? Are you sure?

8 Things Never To Say To A Mom Of An Only Child December 02, 2017 at 10:26PM

I am usually not offended by this particular question, but this essay totally kills it! A mom should not be judged for having just one child. I am a single-child mom who is absolutely hands-on taking care of my toddler from day one. No daycare. No nanny. No servant. Not a single night I spend outside without being on standby for her needs. It can be tiring and frustrating. But I never miss any single one of her milestones. I believe in building a secured base since birth. As of today I see her growing into a mostly happy, loving, healthy, friendly and confident toddler (in lieu of tantrum fits 🤦🏻‍♀️). I don't know what the future holds but one day I wish I could proudly tell her that, I have always been by her side at least for the first two years when she was most needy and vulnerable. I am happy with Abby alone if it is meant to be. ❤️

Focus and planning help with decision making. Decision making further reduces anxiety and improves enjoyment.

As much as you need and want a break now (and you should take one, more on that later), no mother has ever looked back on this time and thought, “I wish I had held my baby less.” You will not remember the dishes that didn’t get done, the vacuuming that you just couldn’t make happen, or the dirty clothes you wore more often than you’d like to admit. You will remember the first smile, the first belly laugh, the first words, the first steps. You will remember the way you looked at your baby, and the way your baby looked at you....'

What no one tells new moms about what childbirth can do to their bodies July 01, 2017 at 06:04PM

Some women have to go back to work 10 days after birth? Most women have to be discharged within 48 hours after birth? Wow! I met many moms telling me that post natal care is the least of their concerns; or they are "modern" super-moms who do not need that. Not everything being practiced in the West is the universal gold standard that the rest of us in the world must follow suit. If you do care about yourself, try get some postnatal help. I think I recovered quite well, thanks to my mom who did a great job providing postnatal care.

"The most important thing is to mourn. Go through every step of it. Get upset until you are willing to do something about your situation. You have to keep moving, crawl if you have to. But move towards your destiny because it's waiting, and you have to go and get it." So much courage, and too inspiring!
