Motherhood really changes your world. And I don’t just mean your finances and your priorities, but your preferences as well. This shift comes in the form of how you prefer to spend your time or what you prefer to be doing. In line with that, lazy days seem like a luxury to me now. I used to feel like I was wasting away, always slacking off. But ever since becoming responsible for another human being, I long for those slow days where my family and I can just sleep in, or spend time at home together. Or if I’m lucky, time alone with myself. Don’t get me wrong, my family is everything. But as an introvert, the constant neediness can be overstimulating. So those “lazy days” really are a must for me to recharge, to recalibrate, and to feel like my best self.
