What is your life like as a mom?

The reason I (30F) am asking this, is because my life truly revolves around my daughter. It feels like my life’s work to be her mother. Some days are hard obviously. Occasionally I’m too tired and burnt out, but it’s not often.

I guess I’m curious because so many of my friends are so different in their lives with their children. Some are similar, others completely opposite.

When I first had my daughter, I truly did not leave her with anybody, I didn’t want to leave her with anybody. I spent all of my time with her. Honestly I still do. We have gone out a total of maybe 4 times alone since she was born last summer. And only once over night. I almost never drink, I stopped smoking weed when I was pregnant and never started again.

People I know that have just had their first babies in the last couple months are already planning on going out of state for nights without their LO and leave to go have drinks with their friends for a few hours. That’s wild to me. I really do not mean that in a judgmental way, my brain literally just doesn’t comprehend wanting to leave your small innocent child, so early on, even for a few hours lol.

Am I the odd man out here?
