I don't usually write long posts of any kind. But since it's national stress awareness day I'm going to step out of my comfort zone a liiittle bit. I'm going to SHARE 😳😳😳. Crap, k here we go. Parenting has been by far the most stressful journey to date, in my life, bar none. There are far too many incredibly wonderful things to list, that becoming a parent has brought into my life, but it is and always will the most challenging as well. It doesn't matter how knowledgeable you think you are going in, sorry love, parenting is going to fuck you up. I definitely never thought it was possible to love something so much that, on a daily basis, brings you to the edge of total insanity and breaks you as a person. That's parenting. But even on the worst days, you will love that tiny human more than life itself and will be willing to give more even when it feels like there's nothing left to give. I am trying my darnedest to just embrace it all (and failing many times along the way). That, and learning to find ways of easing my stress - on good days, ways that don't involve taking it out on my boyfriend. Yes, I know, he's going through the same parenting stuff I am (some days my stress doesn't care 🙈). Cheers to everyone else figuring out their own way through this madness💜💜. When all else fails, wine and chocolate. 🍷🍫 xo. . . . . . #osckersworld #nationalstressawarenessday #instababy #babiesofinstagram #truthbomb #momlife #momlifeyo #dadlife #chocolate #wine #mommylife #boymom #imomsohard #momsofinstagram #parenting #instagood #ylw #kelowna #bc #okanagan #💯 #toddlerlife #motherhoodunplugged
