I hope she feels like that all the time. More likely, she needs to emphasize the rewarding moments so she can get through the rest of them.

This type of post creates hugely unrealistic expectations and high societal pressure for new mothers. In my experience it is far from snuggling and endless love only. A woman who raised two great kids once told me there were moments where she felt like dumping the baby in the trash can.

Raising children is very hard work, especially the first year and even more so, the puberty years.

Is it worth doing? Yes, I thinks so, for most people. I am yet to meet a perfect parent though.
