[quote=Anonymous]I think that mommy martyrs feel this way a lot. And that is no dig, it is HARD not to be a mommy martyr for those of us who believe in a certain standard of parenting that just cannot get done, and that we have picked up from actual real cultural expectations, not our own inborn ideas from what a child needs from their mom. Like right now my therapist is telling me I need to schedule in activities that are more pleasurable for me. And I wave my to-do list at her, a to do list full of really important things like “make sure kids aren’t playing roblox all day” and “make kid’s orthodontist appointments” and “plan health meals.” I am letting myself down if I do something that gives me an identity and yet I won’t like being a mom if I don’t.
