Navigating motherhood as a first-time mom can be difficult and challenging, it can be physically and mentally draining. And on top of all of that if others around us don’t know any boundaries or don’t know how to respect boundaries it can be difficult to manage everything and explain to others what our boundaries are.

We all are different, we all have different perspectives on life, different aspirations, and different ways of doing things in life. We all have different boundaries and different understanding of them. What one may think is appropriate others may not. So it is always useful to explain things, even if it seems harsh or rude, it is our choice on how we want to raise our kids and on how we want our days to go.

There are times, of course, where we need some help, and asking for help can sometimes be difficult or uncomfortable, but it is better to ask than ask them not to help anymore. People may think that they are helping, but in reality, there can be times where the help is overwhelming and it is not allowing us to do things the way we want to do them.
