Thank you for being open about this! While it's true that in the future everybody will look back on this as a wonderful experience, right now it's kind of like the first few years of babies where you have good days but some of the stuff along the way is incredibly hard. Why is it that practicing kindness and patience for ourselves is the hardest thing to do when we do it so well for others as moms 🤷♀️
I can only imagine the challenges. But I read your posts and think to myself that you’re giving your girls such a unique gift. And the memories you’re making will stay with all of you!
Well... I still think you're my hero. For actually LIVING your dream!! I think you (and your family) are SOOO brave for even attempting this in the first place. Reading about your journey so far, and in particular this post about the things you're struggling with, makes me realize humans have a LOT more in common than we think we do. I can definitely relate to everything you're saying here... I would feel exactly the same way you are feeling about these 5 things... but the difference is that I would probably not have had the courage to actually go and do what you're doing out there in the world. I find that extremely courageous and fascinating. So I'm living vicariously through you... and I also know that I would be struggling too! I know that if I didn't have to work, I would spend a lot of time traveling, but I'm not sure that I have what it takes to make it in an extended type of way... I think 7-10 days at at time would be tops for me.
