What do you miss the most after becoming a mother?

what i miss most after becoming a mother? hmmmm, actually i just miss my "ME" time. when you can take long showers, read books, sleep long hours, and be bored for the rest of the day...lol being a mom is a blessing indeed! before, i had my "ME" time now, i have my "BABY AND ME" time! and that's so much better... =)

Having my children, all three of them, has been and is still very worthwhile. I am still able to go traveling I am pleased to say. I had my first son when I was 22 years old. Then when I was 34 years old my disabled son was born. Finally when I was 36 years old my baby daughter was born. I miss going cycling on my bike. I miss going on long walks. Now I am not able to go cycling. I can only go on walks that are wheelchair accessible. I miss going swimming as often as I used to. I miss nights when I could sleep through. Nowadays I have to get up in the night to do my disabled son's catheter care. I also have my baby daughter not sleeping well during the night time. My disabled son is unable to walk and as he is getting heavy it is challenging for me. I am pleased that I have been able to move to a bungalow so life will be easier. I am very happy that I have my disabled son. He is an inspiration to me and although me is know 3 years old he needs much more care than a new born baby.

Hi, I do enjoy my motherhood ,but of course I do miss my past life before having a child. I miss the sweet moments with my husband only,whereby we can go to wherever place we want to go and we can enjoy watching movie in the cinema. Being a mother, for sure my responsibility is getting more and I won't have so much free time on my own. Most of my time is for my son since I am taking care of him full time. How I wish I can sleep till late morning and I can do whatever things I like to do anytime I want. But now, it is impossible for me to be that relax. I have so much things to do everyday and I just need to have my own free time sometimes after a hectic day.

Nice topic! I also miss my freedom most. But do not forget that you will have that freedom back when its time for the kids to leave the nest. So I suggest that do not forget to develope your own interest so that when its time for them to live their own lives, we mothers will not be so lost.

Well i am not a mother, im a guy but i guess we are still allowed to comment here. Anyways when i get married i ll ask my wife about it and pst it here. lol

I miss waking up late.Because now as we all know,as a mom we are always available 24/7.But it does'nt matter.My kids are adorable.I cxannot live without them.

I really don't miss anything about my life before motherhood. I can honestly say that having kids has helped me to become a better and more responsible person. Yes, I went through wishing for more sleep when they were all little, but in reality, having to get up with them was very beneficial. It taught me how to be more organized and scheduled. I don't mind having the responsibilty of being a mother at all. I chose to bring them into this world and I cherish each and every day. Yes, they can be difficult and yes I do get stressed out, but overall, I know that from the time I became pregnant with them until the day I die, they are my responsibility and I just feel blessed to have them.

when im still single i used to hang out with my friends and go home anytime i want but today that i have my baby, i cant go out without him. I always bring him with me and bought him a baby carrier so that it would be easy for me to carry him, when going to the mall, when visiting a friend or relatives...when i go out without him it feels like my feet pulling me to go home, i miss him without seeing him even for a single minute. i miss gimiks with my friends but i can live without that. i'd rather stay home with my son than spending my time with them.

I started out very young and have to say that I really did not live life enough to literally say I missed out on much. But I certainly have to say that my children have been a blessing and so I encamped my entire life as a Super mom and career woman. I had to learn the hard way how to balance it all but in the end having such young adults as I do, we have a very strong and blessed relationship and oh boy do I wish they were little again. Simply because like goes by so fast, most people do not believe me when I say this but truly it does and being so young as I am it sort of leaves you left out. So for me I truly miss my children being babies and although many will say they miss their freedom I certainly hope they relish their children when they are young as well you can't go back. Good luck to you as I know for myself being a single mother was certainly not easy. Even when you have a life partner it still is not easy on the mother.

I think the thing I miss the most is sleeping in and sleeping soundly. My daughter is up no later than 7 am most mornings. If she does sleep in I wake up anyway and wonder where she is. I used to sleep so soundly nothing would wake me up. Since having my daughter everything wakes me up. It is starting to be not so much and she can actually make it into my room now and touch my arm before I wake up where before I would hear her feet hit the floor. I guess now that she is 3 I know she will come and get me if she needs me and she is in a regular bed now. I also really miss going to the bathroom by myself. If she doesn't go in with me then she is knocking on the door. I also miss being able to watch any tv show that I want when I want. I wait for her to go to bed. I can't wait till she can watch the shows with me. What I love being about a mother is just having her with me all the time I really feel really happy most of the time. Lets face it no one enjoys the tantrums LOL.

I am early become a mother(single mom) at the very young age. Yet the most thing that i would miss when I was still a single is hanging out of my friends in college in the mall after our class and having an reunion with my friends in high school. I will do miss when I am not worried about the time when I will got home. I can go everywhere I wanted to go. But now I love being in a home and watch my son as he grow up. I don't want to miss a every little things on how my son grow up like a little tree.:)

I miss some privacy like going to the bathroom without a child knocking on the door. Talking on the phone with friends without a child asking for attention. Going out at night with friends. Lots of things. But I got more than I lost having children. They are so special and give me so much that the things a miss are not very important at the moment.

I don't miss anything in a motherhood stage because I am a father.Lolz! What I miss in my life is going out every night and be with my friends,dating different girls and all those naughty things we done by my friends.I sometimes miss that,but life had changed,I had to focused my time to my wife and my family.Now I enjoy going out with my wife and children.I am truly bless by them.Godbless.

yes, i agree with you very much. I became a mother one year ago. I have the same feel just like you said. But becoming a mother, i also get a lot from my baby.
