One quote that I’ve read from the book is about how important it is not to hide away and keep depression a secret. “When we share our struggles we let others know that it’s okay to share theirs. And suddenly we realise that the things we were ashamed of are the same things everyone deals with at one time of another”.
In my experience though, once we do start sharing our struggles and discussing how exhausting, overwhelming and frustrating parenthood can be at times, we find that other parents share the same feelings. It’s just that they’re not discussed as openly as all the wonderful things that having children brings.
So next time you’re feeling down about being a parent, or about life in general, try opening up to someone about it. Chances are you’ll come away feeling much better, and much less alone.
This is a great quote & it’s very true. I find that with blogging so often! I read a blog & I’m nodding my head through it thinking that I do the same thing. It’s great for us to share experiences & know we are all in this together – especially parenting stories. There’s comfort knowing yours isn’t the only child refusing to eat lol x
It’s so great to read other people’s words and realise that you’re not alone in these things! x
