What are some of the things you took for granted when you WEREN'T a parent, but now realise as a parent you should have shown more appreciation of?

Simple daily routines such as having time to sit down and eat my meals peacefully without rushing, going to the toilet, and of course sleep!! My bb is abt 6 weeks old and i am only sleeping abt 3 hours at night!! And hubby is helping me full time too!!

Sleep 🙁 I used to dread working/studying and having only weekend/holidays to look forward too but after being a mum, I feel like slapping my old self 😭

I love sleeping and eating. But it's hard to do both now. sleep and meal times get interrupted :(

My parents! After becoming a mum, I realised that being a parent isn't easy.

Time and sleep. I miss my sleep. Lots of it
