It’s ok to cry and wish the day away without guilt…
It’s ok to feel overwhelmed and that your not coping…
It’s ok to feel you just want to collapse from exhaustion and emotion…
It’s ok to want to crawl up in the foetal position and just want time out…
It’s ok to want a break from your baby for your own sanity without feeling neglect…
It’s ok to ask for help and accept help when it’s offered…
It’s ok to admit things are tough and you need a hand or a hug…
It’s ok to want your own time and space for your own well-being…
It’s ok to prioritise yourself about your family so in turn everyone gets a happier mummy…
It’s ok to say no to people and not feel guilty for doing so…
It’s ok to lower your own self-expectations and understand that’s normal…
It’s ok to mourn your old life and accept your new beautiful life…
It’s ok to want time off without any judgement…
It’s ok feel raw inside and say help me I’m not coping…
It’s ok to be me first before a wife and a mum…
It’s ok to admit things are tough and know you’re not alone…
It’s ok to cancel arrangements and spend alone time instead…
It’s ok to have off days and feel glum…
HOWEVER…
It’s not ok to blame yourself…
It’s not ok to curse yourself…
It’s not ok to belittle yourself…
Its not ok to sS=ay your not good enough…
It’s not ok to have ongoing guilty emotions…
It’s not ok to expect the world of yourself…
And it certainly is not to be everything to everyone and neglect yourself…
