What is a sacrifice/sacrifices you’ve made as a mom you wish you didn’t have to make?

For me it’s two different things:

1. Is my body. I’ve had health issues out the ass ever since having my kids. Love them, but it’s been HARD physically. Pelvic floor issues, diagnosed with asthma and GERD, low BP and blood sugar, and more. Just sucks I was pretty healthy overall pre-pregnancy.

2. Career. I had to quit the job I worked so hard for and at due to childcare issues / lack of help with them. Then quit the next job I’ve been at for a while and also truly loved due to their dad flaking. I now WFH in my field, so I’ve gained it back somewhat and am extremely lucky with what I have, but it’s still hard juggling work and sick kids who can’t go to school/daycare but no sitter or anything.

Love my kids and would do anything for them, but some days wish I didn’t have to give up so much and could be selfish on occasion.
