I’ve been pondering so much about my present part of motherhood as a result of I’m noticing that it feels actually (actually) totally different. I’m over a yr out from the beginning of our shared custody association which suggests we’re all fairly used to altering homes every week. And I’m used to going from feeding 4 of us to feeding simply myself in an everyday cadence.
However whereas the muse of how I feed everybody hasn’t modified, there are some stark variations in how I take into consideration all of it that really feel kind of like a shift in my basis. (I understand which will sound tacky!)
The primary factor? I now not really feel any guilt after we eat primarily the identical meals every week the youngsters are with me. I now not query the routine that I’ve discovered works greatest for us, despite the fact that I do know others could give me the aspect eye if I clarify it.
I’m now not second-guessing every thing I’m doing or judging myself within the course of as a result of I belief myself extra in each side of my life. (Thanks remedy!) And sure, releasing that guilt and attending to the acceptance half took a variety of time—and diligently muting something I see on social media that makes me really feel badly in regards to the meals in my home. However it’s led to a profound feeling of aid within the work I do to feed my children, even on days when I’ve to make dinner at lunchtime due to after faculty actions. Or when one in every of my children tells me they now not like a meals they’ve lengthy been having fun with.
