Motherhood Bliss

This is the cover of my new book on motherhood.
Parents:
I would like to get feedback from other parents on their experiences on the following topics:

  1. What were your expectations for parenthood and were they met?
  2. What was the real experience of parenthood in terms of support, relationship with the other parent, lifestyle, own personal health - emotional, mental and physical?
  3. What did you find helped with parenthood?
  4. What did you find helpful in getting the support you needed?
  5. What gadgets or systems did you find helpful to cope with housework?
​
