Hi,

It might be somewat true,but not completely.Even I have a 19 months old girl baby,I forgot my career as a therapist,Unable to leave her in care of anybody...The same feeling of "no creative thinking"...But I console myself that afterall this baby is our treasure....We can take care of her..I think n m sure we will get lot of time to socalise,read,create once he/she goes to school.

All the best...

I guess its ok to be smitten by ur lil angel....afterall she's God's gift and needs all the love you can give and more .....The initial years of motherhood does devoid you of all the 'me' time you had before the lovely promotion but then that's pretty natural....your babies schedule becomes your schedule....and then when that stabilises you start giving yourself time ...like now you have come out of the oh-am-THE-mom syndrome ....and are wanting some activities for urself.....my suggestions

• read while she sleeps
• go out for a quick facial/pedicure/manicure
• shop for some good fitting clothes ...after all the days u spent in maternity wear ..or jus window shop...
• watch a movie in parts while she sleeps
• call some friends over and have a good chit chat ( yooohooo do u see me )
• make it for the meet ups oragnised by chennaimoms

Hey! it already makes me feel a lot better now!

I had almost forgoten that the kids will gradualy grow up and become more and more independent.

and yes indeed kaviharsha the babies are our treasure, the most precious one.

and as for you buzz! A very witty answer again!!! and you bet i am not going to miss a cmoms meet up, now that i know i can carry my little one along

hey i feel the same too... i have done my M.Phil and MBA and i think this is the right time to set my career but i have a 1 and an 1/2 year kid, i cant leave him with anyone both our parents are handicapped in this issue... i just console my self by saying that our kid will remain our kid only for first three years then they have to compete in this world for nearly 21 years and once they start their journey they wont have time to look back.............. this is life... HARD BUT TRUE so enjoy the time period with ur kid heartfully....................

nice to here that i am not the only one! thank you mehar

Dear Friend,

it is on your hands that how you are adjusting yourself on your new role or responsiblity. Our life has come to a stage as " MOM". Now there is a new life is in a beginning stage " YOUR KID". your kid came to this world depending on both of you ( Hubby & wife ). You can sacrifice anything for your kid sake. But at the same time if you plan your time you can very well enjoy your life and also you can be a very goodMOM.

All the Best

hi meher,

im also a mother of 2 kids me 2 suffer frm this depression and that too more whn i see my school and college friends who were nt that gud in studies  bt 2day they are holding gud positions its nt for the money part that i feel bt for the self esteem and the identity purpose. i feel that my daughter who is abt 9 yrs old feels that mom doesnt knw anything asmom is full day at hm. i feel very bad being a distinction holder in university im considered as dumbo by my own daughter . its really sad but try 2 njoy the company of kids coz once they bcm big v wil long for their company whatever it is v r the sufferers.

Wow!!! feel so great to see all your views abt motherhood.... im having a 2yr old son and believe me im typing this in one hand .. well my other hand is ofcource rocking his cradle... i felt exactly same as an usual young mom since i also quit my succeessfull career for this little guy  but once i bacame a member of bharatmoms i feel much much better that im not the only one in this row and also how well a motherhood could be handled.. GUDOOS to all the moms out there who has made sacrificies of such heights with pure love and dedication... ..  my son is peeping out of the cradle inspite my 30mins dedicated usage of my one hand to rock it before i could complete this para... well thts what this is all about.. isnt it
