Most mothers will have felt the inequality of the mother load at some point. Whether it's career sacrifices, lack of a village, or simply the division of labour within the home, it's no wonder mothers feel rage, resentment, and overwhelm. But when you talk about it… Well, you're just whinging. Don't you know you're meant to be grateful?! You have a healthy child/partner/income. We've never had it so good (apparently).
So how about this valentines you treat yourself (or another mama) to the most nourishing of all whinges? A valuable whinge if you will. A whinge of self-love that will leave you feeling lighter and more connected to the many overloaded mothers around you.
Whether you're struggling with your kid(s), feeling totally lost in yourself, or simply livid that your partner gets to ‘carry on as normal’, you'll find many heads nodding in understanding.
