dear Busy Parent, I’m so so grateful that you stopped by my post last week about struggling with my Entrepreneur vs Mum identity.
And for taking a moment to pour your heart into words of encouragement! I literally felt a Huge Relief after reading your comments.
Your overwhelmingly loving response makes me wanna share more about my ‘Mumpreneur’ journey – the ups and downs, the questions and the learnings.
It will help me ‘process stuff’ and I hope it will support other busy parents out there too 🙂
What I’m taking away from reading all your comments:
1. We choose our own way of parenting. No one model fits all…
2. Staying FULLY PRESENT with our little one during our time together is more important than the quantity of time we spend together (so far as they’re well looked after by another caregiver in-between)
It’s great for Leo to see his mum Happy (cause he mirrors my emotional state!).
If staying with him full-time does it for me this week – great!
If being immersed in my work nurtures my soul next week – that’s awesome too!
Although overall, I made a decision to lighten my work-load and at least cool it on starting new projects at work, so I can spend more time with Leo.
3. (!) There should be no trace of guilt in my heart, only PROFOUND GRATITUDE for my situation ->
That I can work from home doing what I love! For my wonderful husband who is also working from home and helping a lot with the baby! For my mum is with us and can’t wait to take Leo off us even when it’s out time with him!!
Above all – we are BLESSED to have LEO! He is such a cool kid already!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! UNIVERSE, I AM JUST SO SO GRATEFUL for this truly special situation we have going on! ✨🙏✨
I’m curious to hear from you – what supported you the most through tough days when your babies were so very small?
