    How did my mom do it

    @diakonos3 The routine we have is the same every day. Myself, my husband, my mom, and our babysitter all stick to this routine. I get up the same time everyday and do it. I am still just beyond exhausted all of the time.

    @pithypole She was really into roller skating and ice skating. Her hobbies dwindled as we got older and more involved in sports.

    How did my mom do it

    @samarami I really think she is this unicorn. A lot of her friends comment on how the never stops. She also cared for / is still caring for her aging parents. She tells me two cups of coffee and she can do anything. I’m beginning to realize maybe she wasn’t the norm and it’s okay if I don’t live...

    How did my mom do it

    @nigellane I do have a history of low iron. My counts have been really good lately though. I was almost sure this was the culprit and it could quickly fix it but it’s not!

    How did my mom do it

    @nateprazuch This could be part of it. I’ve never personally dealt with it before so I don’t know the symptoms to look out for. I always thought it was more of a thoughts/brain/ internal dialogue thing and I don’t feel I’m struggling there at all but my body and eyes present as someone really...

    How did my mom do it

    @erin81 It’s so weird because my anxiety has been at an all time low to basically non existent. I feel zero anxiety compared to before I became a mom. Now my symptoms are all showing up in physical exhaustion.

    How did my mom do it

    @bittersweet5 She keeps telling me that she doesn’t know how I’m doing 5 days and thinks 3 12s seemed easier. I thinks it’s just what she was used to so that might be why she says it. I do leave the house at 7:30am and get home at 6:30pm on my three office days so those days are harder than my...
