Mother of three shared her night video tape for showing this

A mother of three kids shared her time-lapse video to show everyone what are the struggles of motherhood. Melanie Darnell, otherwise known as fitmomma4three, has been struggling to nod off at night as a result of her restless children keeping her up.

And so, the young mother-of-three, from Los Angeles, decided to duct tape a camera to the ceiling of her bedroom to see how much sleep she was missing. She shared the time-lapse video showing the reality of motherhood – so spare a thought the next time you see a parent looking weary.

‘My husband is traveling for work, my 10-Month-old still isn’t sleeping through the night and my two year has an ear infection,’ Melanie said.

‘For my personal curiosity of how much sleep I have actually been getting, I duct taped our Nest Cam to the ceiling. ‘What you are about to witness is real video footage of how my night went.’

The video, titled ‘Why Moms Wake Up Tired | Brutally Honest Overnight Time-Lapse’, shows the mother slipping into bed alone at 10 pm.

 

Parenting doesn’t end when the sun goes down. ? I want to parent at night the same way I parent during the day. You have two nighttime parenting goals (1) get sufficient rest yourself and (2) meet the nutritional and emotional needs of your child. It’s a tough balance. Realizing that the last sweet hours of restful darkness are almost over. The 4am wake-up call is especially excruciating. Still, we haul ourselves out of bed, and with bleary eyes pull our babies in close . In those quiet, dark hours, the lack of distraction can actually quite calming and refreshing.  Baby’s needs tend to be simple: to be held and fed ??. Mothers are experts at both of those things, and the ability to so completely meet the needs of our amazing baby is profoundly satisfying. During these moments let’s think of all of the other parents that are up with their babies at the very same middle-of-the night moment and take comfort in the thought of each of us cradling our babies in the dark of our homes, together in shared experience. Rather than feeling isolated and exhausted, we can feel connected to the other tired mothers that are also awake #momsunited. . So, to all of the tired mothers out there, breathe in and breathe out. These days are intense but short lived. Both you and baby will be sleeping more soundly before long. For now, cuddle your babies, nurse them and love them no matter what time the clock says. The baby you rock tonight someday may have the opportunity to be gazing at the stars while holding a sweet baby of her own. She will be thinking of, and appreciating, you ??. .
