Is it normal to not want to be a mom anymore?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes—many moms sometimes wish they weren’t parents or want their old life back, especially when they’re overwhelmed. Having that feeling doesn’t mean you don’t love your child or that you’re a bad mom.
Motherhood can be exhausting, relentless, and far from what you imagined. It’s possible to love your child and still feel trapped, resentful, or like you don’t want this role anymore. Those feelings are more common than people tend to admit.
You don’t have to judge yourself for the feeling, but you also don’t have to carry it alone. If it’s sticking around, tell someone you trust and ask for specific help or a break; talking with a therapist can also give you room to sort through what you want and what’s wearing you down.
