Are You Enjoying Your Baby?
It’s ok not to enjoy every moment of parenting. The early days are messy, emotional, and full of quiet in-between moments.
Are you enjoying your baby?
The question that everyone asks.
There’s so much pressure to say yes.
To feel like you’re savouring every moment.
But what if you’re not?
Your body doesn’t feel the same.
You haven’t slept.
You’ve argued with your partner.
You haven’t managed to shower today.
It’s normal not to enjoy every aspect of parenting,
especially in those early days when you’re still adjusting.
Give yourself a moment.
Even in the chaos,
there will be small memories of joy.
The hard parts will become part of your story too,
and one day, you may look back and hold them differently.
What moment recently brought you a little joy,
even when everything felt hard?
