You’re doing all the right things.
Working. Paying bills. Feeding everyone. Trying to stay on top of it all.
But somehow it still feels tight.
And it’s not even always about not having enough money.
Sometimes it’s the constant mental maths running in the background all day long.
“What’s due this week?”
“Did that payment come out?”
“Can we afford that right now?”
“How are we already here again?”
😬
I see so many mums who look like they’re coping from the outside…but inside they feel constantly “on” when it comes to money.
Not irresponsible.
Not bad with money.
Just tired of carrying the pressure of everything.
I think a lot of women have normalised financial stress that actually isn’t normal.
You’ve just become really good at functioning inside it.
