A.S.
Not trying to be sarcastic, but seriously, every mother on the planet feels that way. You work, you feel guilty. You stay at home, you feel overwhelmed and like you have no break or time for yourself. It gets better as they get older but once you have a child, they become your life. I think it may be a little harder for people who are a little older when they have their kids because you are so used to your life centering on yourself. There is definitely a little bit of a grieving period over the loss of "your" life. But motherhood teaches you selflessness and grace and a multitude of other things. And eventually the little one who was your sun and moon will grow older and more independent and then you get a little more you time year after year.
