Carla, i absolutely love your post. your awareness of this mothering stage is wonderful . . . i am a now a 63 yr old mother. i can speak from the other side of this journey! motherhood in the early years was often exhausting & unseen. that tried to break me. every seemingly endless bedtime struggle, every correction & every ‘test of wills’ was so hard (and there were countless times i had to put *myself* in timeout 🤭). but i also was aware that it wouldn’t last forever & was an investment my children's future. thankfully, so was every cuddle and squeal of joy as they grew through each stage of childhood. new unique challenges will test you at each stage. one day you'll look back and realize that what felt ordinary, exhausting & endless was actually precious. it’ll sneak up on you; i find myself missing some of the very moments that once exhausted me. one day i’ll be a grandma and i will enjoy every stage of that with an open {heart}. the work is hard. and yes, some choices will make you feel selfish or guilty. it will try to break you but you will persevere as best as you can. my house is quieter but my feelings are still {big}. i look at my 3 adult sons and realize that amidst the exhaustion were some of the most precious years of my life. every sacrifice of my time and energy was an investment in lives that are {still} unfolding for them. what you're building is worth it. ~keep going~
