Tbh, I feel like all anyone talks about ~these days~ is how hard motherhood is. I can’t think of one person online who has said it’s easy lol. Then everyone does the typical ‘this is hard and we should talk about it more!’ post and it’s like, yeah, everyone is? I think a lot of people simply go into it emotionally unprepared for how things are going to change. (And some people just regret it). But there’s a lot of discussion over how it is, it’s just probably that you can’t ‘get it’ fully until you do it.
Actually, I’ve seen more complaining if a new mother is feeling blissed out and happy, a lot of people complain that she should ‘show’ how hard it is and that she’s probably miserable. But like, some people genuinely don‘t find it that bad. It depends on one’s individual experience. But there is more of an eagerness now for an Influencer mom to ‘admit’ that they’re not enjoying it? Even if they are?
