What keeps you sane?!

My baby is 7mo and whilst things are easier and I’m in the flow of mum life more than a few months back, I would be telling a lie if I said I didn’t still have those pangs of WTF have I done and moments where I really struggle with the thought of doing this indefinitely.

My baby is going through it atm. Teething or ill, TBC but I know I’m struggling with the constant crying, clingyness and night wakings. One thing I read before I had a baby which helps me in these moments is to remember “they’re not giving you a hard time, they’re having a hard time”. Just remembering that helps me switch my perspective.

Do you have anything similar to tell yourself when you’re about to lose your mind?
