PHOTOS: Woman Uses Drawings To Explain To Her Husband Why She's Always Tired And We Totally Agree

If you are a new mom who is finding it hard to keep up with the little one, you will agree that the whole process can be pretty stressful and exhausting at times. But, at the same time, it becomes another task altogether to explain to your husband how tiring the entire thing can be or how doing this night after night requires immense patience. And, this is when he is sleeping right next to you in all likelihood.

Something very similar happened to the mother of two daughters, Mattea Goff. When her husband asked why she seemed tired all the time, she decided to do something creative to help him comprehend the very simple answer. Mattea made illustrations to explain the reason in the best possible manner to her partner. And, perhaps help other parents understand the same.

Since this is something that most new mothers relate to, the post immediately went viral. In fact, some mothers tagged fellow moms, who in turn, tagged their respective partners. This is one of the most simple ways to spread the message among all parents across the world. With these illustrations, the husbands can now understand why their wives are not so excited about cuddling or doing anything else early morning.

A good night’s sleep is not easy to come by when you have just become a mother. By the time you drift off into a deep slumber, your baby starts to cry. And, you are awake all over again. All this while, your husband continues to sleep happily, entirely unperturbed by what is happening around him. After all, the baby needs to feed and your husband can’t contribute in any way.

2. Not So Peaceful Feeding

As you nurse your little one, he/she continues to playfully hit everything within his/her arm’s reach. And, of course, now you are wide awake. But, your dear husband continues to snore peacefully.

Being a mother, you obsess about your baby’s needs every waking moment. At times, even in dreams. So, as you continue to nurse your little one, you will suddenly start to worry about a lot more things. From clipping your infant’s nails to cleaning the milk spill on the bed, you never stop. And, yet again, you find your partner sleeping through it all.

4. Not So Easy

As you start to think that you can fall asleep all over again, you feel a kick. And, then another. But, you can’t really say much because it is your little one and he/she is finally asleep. But, then duty calls and you begin to nurse immediately all over again. And, with this, many more thoughts pop into your head, including how your child is sweating while you feel slightly cold. Neither the maternal duty nor the maternal worry takes a break. But, he continues to sleep. Sigh!

5. Good Morning? Not So Much!

Amid all this, it is already morning and your husband is awake. After a full night’s sleep, he feels completely fresh and ready to take on the world. So, of course, now he wants to cuddle you and shower you will all the love and affection in the world. But, of course, you are tired and exhausted.

Isn’t this completely relatable? If your partner has already asked you this question, do make him see these illustrations. Maybe, he will understand your predicament a little bit better. Good luck!
