Why Do Moms Always Feel Like We’re Racing Against Time?

  • Lately, I’ve been wondering — why does it always feel like we’re running behind?
    Morning rush, school drop-offs, work, dinner, bedtime… and somewhere in between, we’re supposed to “enjoy the little moments.”
    I try — I really do. But sometimes I blink, and the day’s gone. My son’s already taller, my to-do list’s still untouched, and my coffee’s cold for the third time.
    Does anyone else feel like life’s on fast-forward?
    How do you all slow down and actually feel present — not just go through the motions?

    great point Amara

     

    Coping with motherhood involves building a support system, asking for help with practical tasks, and prioritizing self-care like taking time for yourself to recharge.

     

    life does feel like a fast forward its

    Prioritize self-care

    Adjust expectations and be kind to yourself

    Try sauna steam etc once a week make it a priority
