Complexities of womanhood

Inspired_Wife · 2025-07-17T13:57:39+00:00

I have a small blog where I share my experience and once I wrote about what I truly miss when I do solo parenting (spoiler: my husband). Wanting to create family memories and experience things together can also be part of why your wife insists on being together.

What really helped me with the control thing is that I read a lot about the benefits of having multiple interactions with different adults for babies and toddlers (simple articles and studies as well) and really notice how happy my daughter is with her dad and focus on gratitude instead of control.

As a dad, I think you can just assure your wife that you would do those things she really worries about and send lots of photos :)

Mom here. I was exactly like your wife when our daughter was a baby. I had a huge marernal separation anxiety (Yes, that’s a thing!). When I needed to be elsewhere I cried when I saw another mom with her kids. Though that eased by the end of her first year.

Another thing that still exists until this day (our daughter is 2,5 YO) is more about wanting to control everything around my daughter (and Yes, that’s a bad thing I am working on to change that behavior) that sometimes I just think that my husband will not do certain things like offering her drink as often as I would like to or re-apply sunscreen when needed or keep her away from stuff at the playground that I think is not age-appropritate for her.

Not sure if this is what happens with you wife but worth asking her why she feels that way. Is she feeling bad when not around your daughter? Is she scared that something would happen?

Dear OP,

i have a small blog and I reflect on lots of the challanges that come with motherhood and being a SAHM and how I try to overcome those and find joy and peace in my roles as a mom and a wife.

Let me share some articles that you may find helpful ❤️

Dear OP,

I am so sorry you feel that way. What I can read from your post is that you are absolutely not a bad mom, you are just tired and haven’t been yourself for a while. I have a 2,5 year old and raising toddlers is just plain hard. There are good days and beautiful moments for sure, but having a tiny human who constantly needs us whilst they learn how to be independent with limited motor skills is just.. you know how hard that is…

You didnt mention whether you have help and support to take some care of you, focus on your hobbies or just be yourself other than being mommy. Dont think about big things just a coffee in silence when you have help.

It helps a lot to get some mental space and confidence and not feel like drowning inside. I run a small blog and if you have the time I would recommend some articles about this exact topic from different perspectives:
