It’s not a competition. There are so many strands to this conversation that we could go in. I’m specifically referring to that frustrating part where you work really hard at something that’s important & provides value to those who live in your house but it’s not something easily noticed. I are used to get really annoyed if my husband didn’t notice when I did a task like this. And then I realized, he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Just like I wouldn’t know if he fixed some thing underneath the hood of our car while I was out. And as someone who wants to feel appreciated for the work I do and also try to show appreciation to my husband for the work he does. Knowing this, I now literally will tell my husband what I have done and show him. He doesn’t need to be as excited as I am that a space is organized but knowing that he knows that I spent a long time on it and that I feel appreciated when he says “nice work” is important for me. I just want you to know that all the things that you do for your family, whether they are specifically noticed or not, are actually very important and very valuable. If you find yourself feeling resentful I would recommend communicating either about how the load can be shared more equally or about how your partner can make you feel more appreciated. What invisible load tasks do you find the most time consuming? #invisibleloadofmotherhood #honestmom ##parenting #canadianmoms #relatablemama #familytime #momma #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #momshelpingmoms #sahm #thehonestmom #babyblues #hotmessmama #lifeasamom #motherhoodjourney #newmotherhood #momsgetit #relatablemom #inbetweenmom #tiredmoms #Mentalload
