- Modern Motherhood; we’re supposed to have it all, the career, the family and the life! But how do we make it work? When motherhood is nothing new, why do we have mothers on a path of despair and suffering from post natal depression? We explore the contributing factors and modern pressures that make being a modern mother harder than ever before.

I'm constantly saying aww I wish I could have another baby, yadda yadda yadda,,, but after watching this it reminds me how difficult having my daughter really was. I had post partum depression for the first 6-7 months of her life. It was horrendous. Breaks my heart watching these moms go through it too. My daughter is 14 now, so ... 😁
I love this! Being a mum is HARD!!
kimberley mcdonald not really
I was never so relieved to get laid off. I went back to work full time after my 3 month maternity leave. Sleep deprivation and just a total fuzzy head made it very difficult to keep up at work. They let me go and for a few weeks I was so upset but after that it was fantastic. I didn’t go back to work for about 5 years.
The conversation needs to be about what children need. House prices have put unacceptable pressure on families to make difficult choices. But human babies need so much love attention and attachment from primary care givers. I know the bond with my child was greater when I spent entire days with her and that is something I'll never regret.
One and done. I have one boy and I love him but I want my tubes tied. It's so hard, and I don't really feel like I'm a natural born. I'm lonely and stressed all the time. My son is happy though 🤷🏻♀️
Ruth Black hope ur okay now
I honestly feel that one parent, (doesn't have to be the mom) should stay home for the first couple of years with kids. They are a full time job by themselves. You either do it or you pay someone else to do it. I know I sound harsh but I don't think that having kids is a good idea if you feel so strongly attached to your career. It's not possible to have the best of both worlds...mom's shouldn't be expected to be two people at once.
I agree about having 1 parent at home. My mother is a lawyer and from ages 1-13 I was in daycare and after school care. It was so tiring as a child coming home after school at 7pm+. My school holidays were spent also in daycare during the week. I felt really lonely growing up & exhausted. I just remember an unrelenting feeling of being tired & rushed. It's hard to relax when you have little time at home. Childcare workers can't provide the emotional support a child needs from their parents. I also had little help with my homework too as my parents weren't available... I'm proud of my mother's career & her academic success... but she had little time available to nurture me or my academic success 😂
I agree too, I was in childcare and hated it. We are mammals and we take a long time to grow up, we need so much nurturing. The expectations on women to be everything to everyone hinders the most important job, motherhood. Motherhood needs to be valued, it’s the hardest job in the world and it is not recognised. We’ve had feminism (which is great) but now we need motherism and childrenism.
@@scarlettrubyrose Funny how you mention only your mum's work. Where was your dad? He is just as responsible for the situation you were in.
@@exxxxcellent If you read my whole comment, I do mention further along that BOTH my parents had little time available. My father's career at that time required him to work overseas a lot. He was even more absent and he was never my primary carer. My mother had to do a lot. I understand as an adult with a full time job why it was next to impossible for her to give me more time during those years. I'll be having children soon and I'll be avoiding childcare as much as I can... I'm sure there are some great ones but I went to a lot and it was tiring & lonely, despite me being a very extroverted child...
@@exxxxcellent again, it's not funny for me to mention my mother here. The video is focusing on mothers not fathers. 🤷♀️😅
We all know what this feels like. When there's always someone "better" who you can compare yourself to
When you're getting up at night because your baby feeds every 2hrs and your eyes as red as a cherry,worrying your baby's crying wont wake your other kid...
When you don't wash your hair for a week because it's just another chore....omg the list goes on and on and on
My kids are 9 and 13 now. Mums...hang on there and give the damn finger...well said:" DO WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU
Good on you mums! Your the best im glad you all got to just let go and speak about how you feel along with what has affected you being a mummy😊the demand on us mums these days certainly is difficult the overload of the dos and donts is just plain getting in the way of our instincts and intuition....trust yourself, mum the way you believe is best😇😎💜
It must have been super hard for my mom, I was 6 weeks old when she had to go back to work
Motherhood is hard, but it's a choice. And biological motherhood is not even a good thing. Well done to all the adoptive and foster mothers.
Let's see the dad version lol hahahahahha
The one couple, sleep in different rooms? I've had 3 babies, would not happen.
Sleeping in different rooms doesn't mean there's an issue with the relationship. It could work best for their routines
Potentially dangerous.
