Hear from author Leslie Bruce why modern motherhood is harder than you think, and why millennial moms totally deserve a participation trophy.
Millennial women are experiencing adulthood and investing in their careers for longer before having a child than previous generations of women; they have more time to develop and define a personal sense of identity beyond just being a daughter or partner and before becoming a mother. When it comes to gender in America, this, my friends, is progress—but it can also be setting us back. In the US, postpartum healthcare isn’t yet equipped to address the needs of the millennial mom.
Exhaustion, depletion and the overall feelings of failure that often accompany new motherhood—particularly for a crop of women who were bred to excel—can be debilitating, especially at 3 a.m. when you have a restless 6-week-old and it feels like you’re the only person on the planet still awake. We don’t dare ask for help or admit how hard this whole motherhood thing is, because we’re proud, self-sufficient women raised to believe we can handle anything.
