Don't ask! Why do new mothers find it so hard to ask for help?
A mother, in the weeks and months that follow, puts the needs of another before her own; sacrificing her sense of self, her ambition and all too often, her happiness. While of course there are exceptions, it remains unusual for her male partner to share this early load in the same way.
The truth is that new mothers won’t start asking for the help they need until we consider their requests to be valid. A mother is a person but to mother is a task to which anyone can contribute.
