When parent friends can't be honest about the hard parts of loving their children

My mom friends and I all complain about how exhausted we are but none of us ever admits that sometimes we don't like our kids very much, and I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one who has days where I look at my children and feel nothing but resentment.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The pressure to perform maternal joy prevents mothers from acknowledging the full spectrum of their feelings, leaving them isolated in their struggles.
