5 REAL Stuggles Parents Face That No One Talks About 🤔😩😆

  • Hey, Kyanna again. Told ya i’d be back 😘 So for today’s topic I’m dipping into a more parent related subject [unlike my usual Baby updates 😊]

#1) Multi-tasked Caretaking As I call it lol.. Why? Well for those of you that are primary caretakers as well, I think you know what I’m getting at: specifically with trying to complete tasks around the house while looking after your precious one. As they’re crying, (mind you) you’re also trying to get situated with yourself all at once! Just YOU trying to get comfortable.. prior to grabbing them. Soothing them in time ESPECIALLY in a populated place with your friends or at a work related get-together with colleagues, etc. THEN taking her/him out of the stroller, picking them up while you’re cleaning, eating, and even holding a conversation. 😢😂 #2) True Colors BUT Hey! We’re parents! No worries right?At least that’s how it should be man.. [laughing] No No no.. That’s what our peers (friends, your parents, siblings, etc.) lead us to believe until the minute your beautiful LO arrives. And, soon after.. the so-called cool ones start lashing out on you. Or they try to school you on “tips” that of which might come off out of date, not credible, or just plain unorthodox. #3) The Cookie-Cutter Perfect Parent WELL We’re NOT given a parent manual. You’re not perfect, I’m certainly not either! God.. Don’t you just hate these Instagram and Facebook profiles illustrating these unrealistic standards? I mean, don’t get me wrong, although I myself enjoy this whole new lifestyle around parenting, I must admit sometimes it kinda sucks! Particularly residing our [for what seems like] competition. These clean-over-the-top-luxury-consistent-life-images… You know what I’m talking about. Come on parents. These roles/standards only hurt us in the end! I know it took at least 20 minutes to get him and/or her to pose AND THEN SOME–You capturing the perfect shot, perfect angle. Haha #4) Personal Hygene! AND Let’s not forget our precious ‘me’ time that never really well.. comes around. Now I dunno about you but, the bathroom is part of my alone time routine! SOO It’s kind of a mission. And when we can shower, time lasts as long as a song lmao! Relaxed showering whlist being a parent is a LUXURY! 🙃😂 [Hell, even utilizing our bathroom business is a luxury] ANND… #5) Cold Food GAHH This struggle hits pretty much throughout the whole day depending on how long they nap 😥😂 (considering mine is 9 months in a couple days). Otherwise, Avicus will start trying to grab my food, which of course indicates he’s hungry, then I have to feed him. CONCLUDING.. if we’re lucky, tasty hot meal here we come! ALL IN ALL These are at least 5 struggles new parents, young parents, older, ALL parents face that well, yeah… no one really talks about!! Lol Anyway Until the next one Ky readers! ♡😋 AND for you Ky viewers, my YouTube video on this post is up! https://youtu.be/5m5C5ejXTB8

Avicus is Half a Year! ♈💖

Ayy my munchkin man! Today marks the spot Avicus turns 6 months. Course, did Messy days of solid foods begin! 😆

He makes me so happy. But my God, he is such a messy boy! 💗😍

Being a mom for 6 months has taught me well. I honestly couldn’t imagine the world without my son.. I’ve even have some hacks of my own if you will LOL such as:

Breastfeeding Hack #1

received_306014849839513

Now, when your baby is this tiny, (Avicus 1 month) baby tends to feel more attatched (especially when breast feeding) due to a ceratin smell according to http://www.womenshealth.gov,

  • “Your baby can smell you. Newborns have a strong sense of smell and know the unique scent of your breast milk. That is why your baby will turn his or her head to you when he or she is hungry.” Not to mention, that scent that we moms carry give them a sense of security, and assurance. ☺

Breastfeeding Hack #2

not to mention its sooo easy (when they’re a little older of course lol) when getting to rest through the night! Haha 3 steps: adjust, latch, sleep, repeat. Done 😘

Breastfeeding Hack #3

One of my favorites. Though, it is similar to hack 2 😜 [laughing] anyway, so for this hack all you gotta do is hold baby in cradle position like you normally would, but instead this time slowly.. And surely.. gently lay him/her to your side laying down, make sure they’re on their side as well, slowly, they fall asleep (remember: its that comfort) then that’s where you start preparing to unlatch! Of course, immediately [once you do completely unlatch them] be sure to roll a fort of some sort (lol rhyme) but no seriously aha, we dont wouldn’t want the B-A-B-Y to have a mishap! So you know.. Roll that fort with at least 2 or a thick blanket. *that’s where the magic happens* Oh yeah, if you choose to (optional) input hack 1! 😏 trust hahaha

Alright, well that’s enough of my wacky way of talking haha

I hope you KyMama readers.enjoyed!

Until next time

We’ll follow up! Oh! And also, I’ll be filming a video soon on this post and my lil hacks as well as another 😘

See you guys!
