She truly needs to get some identity to herself, being a mother doesn’t define you! She’s a classic example of being in a rut, to start feeling better about herself has to come from within, and start by looking after herself, when you look after yourself your whole attitude changes! She should think about maybe getting HD brows or wherever so it frames her face and will make her look different without trying too hard or being time consuming!!! Perhaps change her hairstyle because she has a larger forehead so changes the style to hide it slightly might take some years off her... her skin looks so dry in today’s stories you kinda wanted to hand her the moisturiser! she was saying in those stories about comparing herself to others, I think deep down she meant looks/age wise... because she really does look very much older!
mom 43 with a 16/13 year olds, and I’ve worked full time all my adult life, just a 6 month break for maternity leave on each. I got up every day and made sure I was ready make up/hair done before the kids were up, I couldn’t lose myself. You have to make yourself a priority too.
I kinda feel bad for her, she’s lost.
