Show Notes
Are we all counting down to bedtime?
A listener loves her children deeply but admits motherhood isn't what she expected, leaving her wondering whether other mums feel the same way.
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'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.
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.
Is it time we were more honest about how hard motherhood can actually be? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
