Does anyone else miss their old life?
I feel so guilty even typing this because I absolutely love being a mom, and I love my daughter more than anything. It’s not that I miss going out drinking or staying out late or anything like that.
What I miss is the freedom. Being able to just go for a walk by myself, step outside without planning everything around a baby, or make time to exercise and work out alone.
I love my daughter so much, but sometimes I feel like I exist only for her right now, and I miss feeling like me too.
Is this normal? Is it okay to love being a mom while also wanting to have time for yourself and your own identity? I just feel so guilty for even thinking it.
