Everyone starts at the same level, and as far as I’m concerned no matter what you learn, by the time you’ve learnt it, it no longer applies.
It’s complicated, it’s stressful and it’s without a doubt the best job in the world and nothing can replace it.
You forget to eat (if you don’t count snacks), the days of a long relaxing showers are gone, an outing to the local supermarket can be like tackling Everest, and forget about your name, your new name is mum.
They say that it takes a village, well while that was true, it now takes a village plus the added panic that google brings. If you say you haven’t googled a symptom your child might potentially have, and then spent the next hour panicking over every single entry you come across, you are a liar.
And that’s why I am here, I am the mum that googles shit, I’m the mum that asks her more experienced mum friends a million questions. I am the mum that gets things wrong and I want you to know that no one gets it right and that’s okay.
So say hello to the insight to my life of what I have learned, what I think works, what think doesn’t, everything that comes with the trial and error of new parenthood.
I started my parenthood journey at the age of 25, in January 2019 – view my labour story here – and I’m starting my blogging journey with a 6 month old, it’s been a long road already, of learning and of trial and error, but with this blog is just a small snippet into what I’ve learned and what I am still to learn. In reality all I’m doing is just surviving parenthood.
Enjoy
