You have captured the feeling exquisitely - the need to take care, the exhaustion of doing it all on repeat, the occasional rage that it has to be done at all, and the resulting guilt! 💚

I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but I wish I could go back and meet you when my kids were littles.

🙏 I wish the same for myself after having my first child. It was through that experience, I waited 5 years to have my second because I was scared to take on more. Then it took a few more years after that to finally start breaking the cycle. Nearly a decade I carried it quietly. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But now I can use that experience to help others.
