Oh, girls, motherhood truly changes a person completely. I returned from maternity leave to the same job in pediatric surgery and am now just shocked by myself. I started feeling sorry for literally everyone. During my first shift, I hugged and comforted a mother while her child had a stuck coin removed from their esophagus, and I was crying myself. I work at a republican hospital, and we mostly get the most severe cases. I want to hug every mother, tell them everything will be okay, that they are good. It seems my own special motherhood has affected me. Of course, I continue to fulfill my duties, help the little ones recover, but emotionally it has become harder. Maybe someday armor will appear and it will get easier with time, but I don't want to be a grumpy, rude nurse. Right now, I'm watching the series 'Papa's Daughters,' which used to seem like just a comedy to me, but now I literally cry through every episode.

I used to be so emotionally detached when it came to kids, nothing really moved me. But since having my own child, any show or story where children suffer brings me to tears. My child is 8 years old now, but it feels like my emotions only get stronger

My brother, who already had a little daughter at the time, and I went to see the movie "The Mist" based on Stephen King's book. The ending was wild, but I didn't really get it.

They say "just wait until you have your own kids, then you'll understand," and in some cases, that's absolutely true.

Oh, that's too bad, but on the other hand, it's good.
But there aren't enough of you to go around, you're spending your energy.
