It's starting to feel like it. At least once a day there's a post from someone who doesn't like being a mum. And that's all fine and well, and I'm glad this sub offers a forum for mutual support... but honestly I'm starting to feel like I can't talk about how great this experience i I s for me without being accused of conforming to the social narrative, or for fear of upsetting the apparent majority who would do things differently if they could go back.

So...here's my experience. I ADORE motherhood. It's hands down the best decision I've ever made, and I'm unequivocally the happiest I've ever been. I loved the newborn stage. I love it even more at nine months old now she's crawling and biting and a total menace.

She demands a lot of attention all day every day - because she's bright and responsive, and she's also hilarious and affectionate.

She's a dreadful sleeper - she woke me up 13 times the other night - but she's a tiny little helpless baby who needs her mama, so that's okay. Soon enough she'll be too big to sleep in my arms and too cool to want kisses from me.

Nobody enjoys dirty nappies, but they're not the end of the world either - poo washes off.

It's hard work, sure, but I was expecting it to be hard work, and I was expecting crying and nappies and sleepless nights.

None of that is even a blip on the radar - I love being a mum, and my only vague regret is that I didn't do it years ago.

I can't be the only one. Where are the other mums of <1-year-olds who're having a blast?
