Moms, how do you not get lost in being a mom and loose yourself?
New mom #2 on the way. While I love my children and my family, I almost feel like I have no idea who I am anymore

Your life will change, that's simply a fact. The hardest part is adjusting from living for yourself to living for your family. However, it's important to take a few moments for yourself. Go out with friends, have dinner, do something special, just make sure you have a good babysitter.

@raysam363 omg thank you.
Not a mom, just stretched between work and helping family at home .. no downtime .. almost no social life - I understand so well what it feels like to be like a robot.. my family doesn't understand the concept of NEEDING Time for self restoration. I can't say I need to relax . I must basically always be working on some task. It is draining.
It all becomes a concern when your life plans start becoming distant dreams..
Each person deserves to have or to find a way to nourish their own humanity and to chase their dreams.. even moms ! :D

You don’t know what to do when you’re alone? Anything! Call a friend or go for a walk. If you have more than just a few minutes, try to pick up an old hobby or treat yourself to a movie. Sometimes, simply not being “mom” for a little while helps to clear the mind:) @Soramarie]
