Sunshine in my Nest

101. When You Want to Quit Motherhood with Sharon Jaynes


Listen Later

Many are living out the dream of adult life we had as children. Then some days stressor after stressor keeps piling on, until we wondered why this is something we ever even asked for. It can feel especially guilt-inducing when it involves being a parent to our children. 

The feelings come up with the wish that we could quit motherhood. How do we give ourselves a time-out?

Quitting isn't really an option in motherhood, so what do we do after we've had that outburst, or even secret desire to quit? How does time with Jesus help?

What do we do with our guilt? How does social media contribute to comparison with mothers.

Seeing our struggle in motherhood as spiritual warfare that comes from doing deeply valuable work.
