Losing Sight of Joy in Motherhood | Embrace Being a Mom

Published: Nov. 3, 2020, 4:13 p.m.

Sometimes we lose sight of what is bringing us joy in motherhood and today we discuss what happens to your joy. You don\u2019t lose your love for your children, but the joy of it begins to go away. We hold a key to bringing back the joy in motherhood, but that requires us to put more into it than we have been. It requires us to sacrifice more, such as our time, attention, and creativity. Another thing we\u2019ve noticed is that our own attention spans as parents have been greatly affected by social media and our children seem to be able to stay entertained longer by simpler things. Rosie tells about something that has made being a mother hard, which is having to choose between your friends and your children, and having to tell people, who really want your time, no, because your children take priority. As women, we need to embrace motherhood and being a woman, and it\u2019s OK to be treated like a woman and be an example of womanhood for your children. It\u2019s OK if your main goal is to be a mother because being a mother is the one of the most important things a person can do in this life.

\u201cAdam came home with flowers, and I just said to myself, \u2018It is OK to be a woman who wants a man to treat her well and treat her like a princess.\u2019 It\u2019s OK. It\u2019s actually the greatest thing in the world for your daughter to see your husband treat you like a princess.\u201d 18:31
