Recently I came to the conclusion that I don't have to be perfect. I always thought that you had to cook every day, keep the house tidy including having nothing in the sink like dirty dishes etc. Now I try not to get stressed out if I can't get house chores done and I try to set it aside for whenever I have the chance. Even though this has taken off a lot of stress, some days I still feel very overwhelmed!!! And idk why! I wish it would go away. 😔
Unfortunately, it may take some time to really accept that you do not have to have it all done. When it was just me I was super tidy, my sister would make fun of me because I knew when something had been moved even just a bit. It was tough to get adjusted to not being able to always have everything in tip top shape. Now, I do what I can when I can, and enjoy time with my little one when she wants my attention. I order pizza sometimes, or I cook something fast and easy so I don't feel overwhelmed with cooking. Just hang in there, it does get easier.
