Shared this coz of recent chats with women who’ve struggled to find balance, specifically after having kids & how they’ve found it so consuming that they felt like they’re losing out on other things/people they love. I hope no one feels judged from it coz it’s not the intention.

My friends sister asked why I never talk about my husband. I told her, it's my time with my friends and not about him.

I really don’t mind my married friends talking about their kids and husbands. It’s a very important part of their lives and I’m interested in it. I just follow up with questions about how they’re doing as individuals and what’s happening in their lives.

We must talk also about how this is not an easy thing to do. It is sad to lose yourself but it is not easy to save yourself as a mom.

I genuinely think everyone can figure out what works for them, because I get how someone can get consumed by being a new parent and wife and wanting to build a foundation and rhythm for their new family and life, and miss out on other people and things they used to love.

She’s such a beauty uBabalwa 🥰

She really is.

Akamhle Thixo wam 😭😭😭. And that lace is LAID honey

Beautiful women can get away with sounding deep and actually saying nothing at all

🤔 this sounds like talk from a person who is married with kids but has friends who are single who make her feel like she is trapped in a marriage. Align your mind with your new reality, if you chose to be a wife and mom be that, your new identity is linked to your family
