Ever since my 6 year old started kindergarten, it has been a massive shift for me. I’ve cried because I realized that soon, I’m going to be alone in this house for almost 8 hours a day. My house is cleaner but the trade off is I’m no longer a mom of babies. That’s hard to swallow. I’ve been a mom of babies and toddlers on and off for 14 years. It’s very strange thinking about the shift that’s coming my way. It’s lonely to even think about. There is undoubtedly going to be more time on my hands and I don’t know if I’m truly ready for that freedom yet.
To young moms with littles- the messy house truly does get more manageable with time. The older ladies have been right all along when they told us to enjoy our babies while they’re small because I was not prepared for how fast it went. I’m still in the middle but I see my time coming and I’m realizing that maybe I wished for it too much.
