It takes a village to raise a child... and that’s because it’s hard. So don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether the is from your parents, friends, family, partner, neighbour (or me!).
You aren’t meant to be doing this on your own - use your support network to help you get through the days and nights. Because parenting is tough, it’s sleeplessness, it’s loneliness, it’s always drinking cold tea, it’s dry shampoo, it’s washing (so much washing), it’s constant fear you’ve done it all wrong. But its also amazing, it’s endless cuddles, it’s smiles for no reason, it’s dimples on the elbows, it’s being someone else’s complete world.
So remember you are doing an amazing job and it’s ok to ask for help.
