Children bring joy, love, and countless blessings to our lives, however, with the commitment to nurture another human being from infancy to adulthood comes times of stress, which can often be significant. Of course, every mother faces different challenges, but the most common causes of stress include the following:
Time demands
With all the care and nurturing that children require, as well as the additional demands of extra people in the household, most mothers feel short of time. Whether it’s a lack of enough time to get the laundry done, time to spend just playing with the kids, time to yourself, or time for dozens of other important activities, many mothers find that there are simply not enough hours in the day to do everything that they need or would like to do.
Finances
Whether using daycare, a nanny, or working from home, caring for children is expensive. As they grow into new clothes, new activities, and eventually off to college, each child can impact a family’s budget. While children are more than worth the expense, parents do tend to face financial stress.
Relationship demands
As mothers invest the necessary time into their relationships with their children, sometimes other relationships take a back seat, especially when children are young and need more attention. Mothers of young children often feel torn between meeting the needs of their little one and still having the energy for stimulating conversation and relaxing times with their partner.
They may also find it more difficult to make time for their friends as they juggle the responsibilities of motherhood. Also, as children grow and change, mothers can change and grow in new directions, which can also put pressure on longstanding relationships.
