As a mother, I’m overwhelmed. I know it’s okay, but I still feel really bad...

As the mom of a 19-month-old, I’m feeling so overwhelmed. My child is entering the tantrum phase, my relationship with my husband still needs a lot of adjustment, and then there’s this, and that, and so much more... I’m torn between my career and my family—why does everything have to be a choice??? When I choose my child, my career and social life have to be sacrificed. When I choose my career, I have to leave my child with a close relative. I’m sorry, but I’m really overwhelmed right now. Maybe this will pass, but... it turns out being a mother isn’t easy, is it?
