Motherhood Paradox Never wanting to miss a moment, but needing the break, but the moment you leave them, your heart starts to ache, on the hard days praying for the moment to pass, looking at baby photos thinking it's going too fast. They drive you crazy, no way to pretend, but you love nothing more than those moments you spend, tired as a mother as you hear little toes creep, waiting for bedtime but then watching them sleep. Teaching them right from wrong but feeling guilty saying no, wanting them to be independent whilst struggling to let go, wishing the sleepless nights away whilst hoping to pause the clock, the beautiful story of the motherhood paradox.
