Eden’s baby girl suffers with allergies. She shared this image to show the raw desperation of parenting.
Eden shared on Facebook, “This is what parenting looks like…”
3.30am sessions in the shower because she reacted to an allergen and screamed all night. It looks like love and devotion, and exhaustion and relief. It looks like stretch marks, and prickly legs, and raw desperation. There is beauty here… The beauty of silence… The hot water and skin to skin won. I needed it to win; I was out of options.
I needed this photo. I needed to freeze this moment so that I can look back and remember the vulnerability and art that is parenting. The delicate balance between genius, and insanity. #love
Her post has been shared nearly 10K times in less than 24hrs.
The Barefoot Mum also shared a similar image of mum and bub “Such a raw emotive moment of Motherhood in all her glory……messy bun and all!!”
Sadly though, Facebook deleted a similar image previously of a dad showering with his son who had been very unwell, siting it as violating photograph rules. Read the story here.
