I was reading an article about why Motherhood is so tiring? I as a mom of three (7,6,and 3) can contest to what I’ve read is very true. It’s a very demanding being a mom. There isn’t any really day off your on the go from the moment you get up to the mom you go to bed.
The arrival states that being a mom is like having 2.5 full time jobs. That the average mom is up form 6:23am till about 8pm something. That sounds about right for me. Not to mention that I’m sure those mom that work a job is probably more tired then those that stay home like myself. Staying can be just as tiring so neither side is better then the other when it comes to how you choice to live as a mom.
The tired moms of the world it’s real. If you don’t think it’s hard many read the article take a walk in a moms shoes. It’s not easy children need lots of things and it’s not jsut physical but emotional things they need to grow as a person and being a parent makes you grow and change.
As I tell new moms, there or not days off even when your stick. You get paid in messes but you enjoy what blessing your receive from your children.

I had 2 daughters and they were good kids, as kids go. But with one more I would have had to intern myself in an asylum. Maybe to escape from them.

@ShyBear88 That´s how it was decades ago, when my children were small. And I remember that my husband was just another overgrown kid when he was with them.

Lol... I tell me husband some days I want to lock the kids in box some where just for an hour. He is like why. Because they are a 3 ring circus. I’m so tired, my tried is tired and my coffee needs coffee to help me keep my sanity. Or an I already crazy and I just don’t know it yet. Then we are look how cute they look sleeping. Haha my kids can be the best kids but at the same time little demons.

Well the artical isn’t about men and fatherhood. I do agree men need to step up their game but also some women need to step up and tell a man that they need help or would like it. If you do not as that person partner make it know you need or want help they might not even step in. Some men just help out.
My husband knows if he doesn’t help out when I ask he will never hear the end of it from me. Also we makes the kids pick up and help out as well because mommy is not a maid mommy is mommy and these messes made where not done by her.

@josie_ they say it takes a villiage to raise children. I certainly believe that even Jd their is a family with or a mother or father a support of other family and friends to help raise a child is very much need as it does when two parents are involved.

@ShyBear88 _One cannot treat the subject of motherhood without considering the husband and wife relationship or the family as a whole unit as your response to my comment has shown.

Yes it’s not allcutiness and games. Taking care of tiney person is hard. There no booklets on how to do it or a guide
It’s all just from doing it.

It depends on the kids but in general tiny hunsnas taken a lot of time and money. They need many things not only physically but emotionally.
