Is It Normal Not To Enjoy Motherhood?

About this episode

<p><strong>Are we all counting down to bedtime? </strong> </p><br><p>A listener loves her children deeply but admits motherhood isn&#39;t what she expected, leaving her wondering whether other mums feel the same way. </p><br><p>Kate Ferdinand, Cilla Kessie and Nathalie Holmes-Lewis discuss the reality of raising young children, from exhaustion and counting down to bedtime to mum guilt, anxiety and comparing the parent you thought you&#39;d be with the one you actually are. They also discuss why being a stepmum to older children can feel completely different from becoming a biological mum to babies and toddlers.</p><br><p>And, as always, the conversation goes somewhere unexpected, with the ladies debating kids in pyjamas, bonnets in public and the parenting choices they secretly judge. </p><br><p>Is it time we were more honest about how hard motherhood can actually be?</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
