Anyone feel like this?
That you've kind of lost who you are/were as a mom? Because now that you're "mom" it just takes over? I find myself referring to myself as "julie's mom" in emails and not even using my name anymore.

It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

I never felt like this until I had 3 kids,but I only felt it slightly. Now that I have 4, and the youngest is at a demanding age (19 months), I feel it all the time.

I never WAS anyone until I was a mom...I'm actually scared of what may happen when my kids are grown and gone away. I don't think there's anything else inside of me!!!

But yes, I do know the feeling. I sometimes feel my identity was swallowed up the moment I had my ds.

Atomic, I love family and I never want my kids to leave the state we live in EVER but I do look forward to when it is just my DH and I. I think it is the lack of freedom that bothers me and makes me feel down.

And a SAHM job is tough...I wouldn't want to work and have to get the kids out the door and be a super mom b/c that is a different kind of hard but being at home with little ones is tough.

I've been raising kids since I was 10 years old, first my little brother and sister, then I was at college for 2 years and got pg with DS 1, raised my older boys, and now am starting all over again at middle age with my little boys...I don't know who I am without a child puttering around somewhere!!!

Yes I don't feel like myself anymore. It was better when I was working but we moved and now I can't find a job so I'm a sahm. I feel boring and bored.
So happy for you Treens, congratulations Sent from my SM-A225F using Tapatalk
