15x why motherhood isn't always fun and a nice surprise!

Every mother sometimes experiences the feeling that motherhood is not fun. However? Or should I start rinsing my mouth with soap and pretend that everything is always just cake and egg? It is not for nothing that it is talked about more often these days. Motherhood isn't always fun, it's not always a pink cloud, no… sometimes it's more like a pink dagger. Fortunately, we can all relativize a bit. However, the first years of motherhood can be very difficult if things don't go well.

Motherhood is not fun, not always in any case

We've written about it before, about the fact that motherhood is hard. Pregnancy doesn't always go the way you hoped, and motherhood actually starts when you're already exhausted from the birth. Or how about postpartum depression? You are not just in charge, it just happens to you if you are unlucky, so is Marjolijn. We can understand that your motherhood is not fun at such a moment, but does your environment understand it too?

That's always the question. Bystanders often react laconic. Why isn't motherhood fun? Isn't it heavenly to have such a little one in your arms? Yes! We all think so, but the bystanders forget for a moment that that heavenly little one sometimes makes you walk on your gums. And then motherhood isn't fun. No.

15x what's not to like about motherhood?

We can make a list for you in a few minutes:

  1. Sleep deprivation due to your baby vomiting at night.
  2. Not allowed to drink wine because you are breastfeeding.
  3. Being tired after a day's work and then also having to bathe your screaming baby.
  4. And then start again because you had just given him the bottle beforehand… and it is completely dumped over the clean romper.
  5. Your hormones make you so irritable that everything is magnified.
  6. A screaming toddler who doesn't want to eat, even though you cooked so well.
  7. Huge amounts of dirty laundry due to spit and poop.
  8. Time for your relationship? You wish…
  9. Your child's refusal behavior… sometimes you can't do anything right.
  10. Just going out for a bite to eat? Think about that again… it's quite the happening.
  11. Your energy seeps away. Where to? No idea!
  12. 5 minutes for yourself? You're kidding!
  13. The advice of others is flying around you, to drive you crazy.
  14. Your body has definitely changed after having children, that also makes motherhood no fun.
  15. All attention goes to your baby, he or she is central. What do you need? nobody thinks about that, not even you.

Is it all worth it?

Fortunately, there are also things about motherhood that are more than worth the effort, (almost) all mothers know that too. That is not a list for now, but of course it has to be said.

What is really nice, those are the films and series that are currently being made around the subject of motherhood. With the recognizable moments that make motherhood no fun. If you are watching a film like this in the cinema, you can hear all the mothers sighing and uhuhuh-ing, as a token of recognition. And that creates a bond 😉 .

Motherhood is not fun and the translation of this in the film Tully

Tully movie is on its way, and I think that's one you must see as a mother. This film will be shown in cinemas from 10 May and you can indulge yourself. When I watch the trailer I almost choke on the recognizable scenes, but I am also left completely curious. That tastes like more. I want to see the movie!

Synopsis of the movie Tully

Marlo (Charlize Theron) has always been in control, but now that the family has a third child, it's all getting a bit too much for her. When Marlo's rich brother proposes to pay a nanny to take care of the child at night, it seems like an offer she can't possibly refuse. The beautiful Tully (Mackenzie Davis) also turns out to be the best nighttime nanny any mother could wish for. Marlo slowly comes back to life and an intense bond develops between her and Tully. It turns out they have more in common than she initially thought…
