As my treasured (and youthful) cousin likes to say, there isn’t a “hood” fairly like motherhood! However, let’s be sincere, we additionally select to consider so many issues about this calling. Lots of them aren’t even true! Check out the 2 statements under. Are you able to inform the reality from the lie?
Motherhood is a sacrifice and time-consuming; it will possibly result in feeling insufficient and a large number of insecurities.
