Being a mom isn’t easy. Mothers are constantly scrutinized for almost every parenting decision they make, from small choices to big ones.

Living amidst the uncertainty and stress of a pandemic has exacerbated this phenomenon. And even if there’s not much moms can do to change it, it’s still important to take note of the impact carrying the weight of the “mental load” of motherhood can have on a woman’s existence.
