You can join the hundreds of thousands of customers in one simple routine that is changing the world.

And again, that is balanceofnature.com.

Now, back to the story, now that I've shared all of my experiences.

All of that being said, it would be very easy for me to sit here and talk about how these moms don't get it because they didn't know what sacrifices they were signing up for.

They just need to, you know, get over it.

Actually, it's really fulfilling.

Actually, it's really empowering.

These small problems like the mom talking about the Red Bull or the Blue Bull, actually it adds up to the biggest contribution you will ever make to the world, aka raising a child.

However, that is not really what these three mothers, in my opinion, are frustrated with or what these stories are actually about.

And so me ripping into them for that would be futile, in my opinion.

For a woman that is struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression, who feels alone, maybe unsupported by their spouse and their families, you don't really just want to hear, it's really empowering and you don't get it.

Like maybe actually we should be trying to solve the problem.

And one of the problems is who they married.

And I hate to say it, but I do think we can kind of prevent these problems before they even arise because the common thread for these three women in the story is not really that motherhood is just all inherently terrible, but it's that none of them, not one of them actually wanted to have children in the first place, but they were encouraged to do so by their husbands and by their families.

Okay, listen to these other excerpts from the article.

So mom one, when my husband and I were dating, his deal breaker was having kids.

I didn't feel the same way, but I didn't see a life without children as an option.

That was his deal breaker, not hers.

Next mom, I married young at 22.

My husband couldn't wait to have a baby, but I told him I wanted to wait and enjoy our marriage.
