#Moms let's PLEDGE to OFF LOAD
The mental load of motherhood is REAL.😔And so many of us carry it alone.
As moms, it’s our job to love and care for our children ❤️…but sometimes that responsibility turns into carrying ALL the family concerns, fears and to-dos in our head…ALONE.
We are overloaded with thoughts that make us feel like we are carrying the weight of motherhood. 🌎 And I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes it's because we think we are supposed to, or have these unrealistic expectations. We forget that we don’t have to carry it all alone.
Because it may lead to bigger issues for mommy.
〽️Overwhelm
〽️Burnout
〽️Stress
〽️Loneliness
〽️Anxiety
The list is endless.
🤷🏽♂️PLUS, our partners unknowingly contribute to this mental load...by expecting us to delegate tasks or remind them of things. They may not see the signs coming when we inevitably break down. So they are caught off guard and ask, "Why didn't you tell me?!" or "You should have asked!"
Again, it implies that moms must be the ones to pay attention to everything, take notes, and then delegate. Which can be SO frustrating! 🤦🏽♀️💫
It's a process, but lightening the load starts with simply...
✨NOT doing everything alone from the get-go
✨Letting them do things their way, albeit less than perfect
✨Communicating clearly early on
✨And not waiting until you are overwhelmed for them to step in
Do you carry the weight of motherhood all alone? Do you know how to work through the mental load and involve your partner?
