Why you should view motherhood as a relationship

Motherhood is a relationship. That means, that motherhood isn't the tasks of changing diapers, feeding kids, or managing emotions. Motherhood exists in the relationship between you and your kid(s). That's the concept taught by guest Hannah Olsen, who runs the Instagram account Freckledhan. Host Lindsay Aerts and she discuss why viewing motherhood this way helps separate motherhood from being defined as some of those tasks, thus allowing you to enjoy your relationship with your kids more and let go of the guild of all the things you think you're not doing. They also discuss how viewing motherhood as a relationship helps you to forgive yourself for the tasks of parenting that you don't like, by not making it mean that you don't enjoy motherhood. Spoiler, if you love your kids you love motherhood. They discuss how you can love your kids and not love the tasks of caring for them.
