I would never say that being a mother is harder than being a father because they're both equally hard and the majority of fathers I know go above and beyond for their kids. But sometimes I feel like dads are able to hide the stress it takes on you a lot better than moms can. I walk around every day, working, running errands, taking care of things for them, even doing things that are supposed to be relaxing and I'm constantly carrying this weight, this worry, this stress on my shoulders from trying to do all I can for them and constantly wondering if its enough and it shows. You can see the stress on my body; acne, hair loss, bags under my eyes, stress lines on my forehead, weight loss. You can hear it in my tired voice, my sometimes snippy frustrated and impatient tone, my worried thoughts, the anxiety constantly racing through my brain... Its constant. I envy those of you, both dads and moms who can hide all the stress it takes out on you daily or at least don't show it as obviously as I do. Parenting is such a journey and theres so much stress involved, but even on the most stressful days it is oh so worth it!🖤🌻 #parenting #stress #anxiety #mothering #stressedoutmama #soworthit #mothers #fathers https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz64bcLh13F/?igshid=11hoyerxrf069
