Why is being a mom and working in healthcare so difficult? I always feel like I am failing.

Would it make you feel like you’re failing less if I told you I still haven’t taken my Christmas tree all the way down? It’s true…. 😜. Go easy on yourself - especially in the times we’re in - no one can do it all. I’m willing to bet there are people in your life thinking to themselves “How does she do it?!?” …while admiring the sh*t out of you. 💜. And in the midst of taking care of EVERYONE around you…don’t forget to take care of yourself too! I know it’s so much easier said than done but you deserve it, Dr. Mamma!

Hang in there! That feeling is normal but most importantly it's just a feeling. It's not reality. You are doing amazing.

Being a mom and working outside the home in general is a battle, never mind the chaos and crazy hours of the health care industry. I don't have a solution, just wanted to weigh in and let you know you're not alone. And while you may feel as though you're failing, I'd be willing to bet your children don't hold that viewpoint at all.

I think all of us moms feel that way at some point or another. You are not failing. Hang in there.

You're not alone! You should definitely look into getting some counseling or therapy to work through this.

You're doing great mama! You are trying your best and that's what matters.

I know the feeling...What makes me feel better is, all my hard work is showing my kids, its possible to chase their dreams.

Go easy on yourself, Madam. Being in healthcare is a feat enough– now being a mother at the same time? I think that's pretty amazing. Give yourself credit, you made it, and you'll keep going!

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
