🎄A Christmas miracle ⤵️

I wish ALL moms knew this!

Scary intrusive thoughts are a near universal experience by postpartum moms.

You are not alone if you’ve experienced this!

They can be super uncomfortable and for some moms, cause a great deal of distress. 😩

This is what you have to know ⤵️

If you have a thought of harm coming to your baby that scares you, that is a sign that it’s a symptom of ANXIETY, nothing more.

Nothing dark or sinister about you.

👏🏻YOU👏🏻ARE👏🏻STILL👏🏻SAFE👏🏻AND👏🏻TRUSTWORTHY👏🏻

Basically your brain wants to protect your baby so badly that it thinks of terrible scenarios to keep you on high alert to keep your baby safe.

And you know what? That’s what you do. You protect your baby and make sure the thought didn’t happen.

So good job brain! You made sure your baby was safe! But you were kind of a jerk about it. 🤬

If you have a scary intrusive thought, tell yourself this ⤵️

“That is a symptom of ANXIETY, that is not me.”

While it doesn’t make the thoughts immediately go away, it does take away some of their power. 💪🏻

You read that right ⤵️

I am sick and tired of women’s contributions to the household being dismissed.

“But I earned it” treats his paid labor as more valuable or more “real” that your unpaid labor, even though both forms of work keep the family functioning.

Saying the man’s salary is “his money” implies the only valid contribution to the family is the one that earns dollars.

But here’s the thing 👉🏻 Caregiving enables that earning.

Without someone handling the kids, appointments, meals, laundry, logistics, emotional support, and daily chaos, his ability to work outside the home would be dramatically different.

And don’t get me started on how him thinking it’s “his” money creates power imbalances that leave the stay-at-home parent vulnerable, despite contributing hugely to the family’s wellbeing.

✨ When you’re together, you are a team.

✨ You both contribute.

✨ It’s not HIS money. It’s BOTH of your money.

That voice is lying to you ⤵️

It’s okay to want a break when you’re a mom.

Motherhood is HARD. It’s nonstop.

And honestly, some things are just not that fun:

👉🏻 Tantrums
👉🏻 Sleepless nights
👉🏻 Cleaning up puke
👉🏻 Pink eye
👉🏻 Being hit in the face (it happens!)

Plus, it’s exhausting.

Acknowledging that you want a break doesn’t make you a bad mom, it makes you HUMAN.

Here’s the thing ⤵️

You can feel two things, even multiple things, at the same time.

✨You can love your baby dearly AND want a break from parenting.

✨You can not be able to imagine your life without him AND miss the days when you had more autonomy.

Bonus in cases of infertility 👉🏻 You can have worked so hard and waited so long for your baby AND be overwhelmed.

Nothing changes how much you love your baby. That is constant.

You are also human. You can feel tired/overwhelmed/stressed/anxious/depressed too.

It’s okay. You’re okay. You’re still a great mom. ❤️
