[Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he [Music] hey guys I'm hazy a mom of two children
it's another drizzling day here in Brisban but despite the weather I still need to run
the washing machine first thing the morning. whether I've had a good night's sleep or not my
day is filled with the same routine tasks this morning I woke up at 5:00 because my 9-month-old
baby was crying after I managed to soothe him back to sleep I had some alone time with a of tea in
the book to read for the first time
in a while. I feel like I'm just going through a
phase but every time I clean the floor I can't help but wonder when I'll finally be
done with picking up food scraps like this [Music] I make sure to run the robot vacuum
before we leave home every morning so that when Elijah and I get home the floor is
nice and clean for him to crawl around. after the morning chaos of making some healthy
breakfast and preparing two lunch boxes I just got back from dropping Alina off at kindy
Elijah's taking
his first nap so I decided to take a few moments to close my eyes and
relax for about 5 minutes before starting the cleaning in my head I know it's just a
phase but it's just this NeverEnding cycle of cooking cleaning and organizing like a lot
of it every day suddenly it hit me hard my life sucks ever since I had kids I've really noticed
how my skin has started showing signs of aging so now I'm religiously taking supplements every
day hoping they'll boost my collagen production and help wi
th my hair growth this is the least
thing I can do to slow down this whole aging [Music] now that the vacuum's done I'm going to let
the robot mop the floor robots never do as good job as doing it manually but I'm just
thankful to have these machines doing the job for me I hardly ever have to grab them
up myself these days unless there's a spill [Music] I've been sort of brushing off how
stressed I've been feeling lately because you know who isn't stressed right ever since
Elijah started t
eething and waking up at night things have become chaotic Elijah's
become so clingy so I can't even go to the bathroom myself and this has made my life
so miserable and those days when it's just me and both kids it's like everything tends
to go downhill I feel incredibly frustrated not because of my children but because of
myself I'm constantly struggling to find the inner strength to respond calmly to triggering
behavior and I feel like I fail at it everyday honestly now is not the right t
ime to stress
about keeping the house spotless and perfect with two kids around it's just not realistic
I'm focusing on managing to clean the kitchen every day ensuring their home environment is
safe and hygienic if robots and devices can help me out with tools or let them take over
if not I'm totally fine leaving it for now after we've had all that rain and crazy
Heat Wave our grass has grown so fast and we just can't keep up massive thanks
to RoboUP for sponsoring this portion of the vid
eo it seriously couldn't have come at
a better time for me to try out their robot mower for the first time so I'm really excited
and grateful honestly mowing the lawn has been the last thing on our minds lately but it's
still something we can't ignore if we leave it for too long with all the wildlife around
here in Australia we might end up with some random animals in the backyard we recently
had Birds nesting in our backyard and one out of three eggs has hatched grown and flown away I
did
n't mind the birds so much but they poop a lot now that the barbecue charcoal is ready I have to
start cooking for a family dinner celebrating Luna New Year while the Rober mower is doing its
job for us the first thing I noticed was how quiet it is a few weeks ago when we were mowing
with our manual mower we accidentally scared the mother bird away although the birds are gone now
I don't think they would have minded this noise [Music] [Music] I was told that RoboUP can recognize
living thin
gs like humans and animals it can navigate around obstacles to avoid
any accidents and when it comes the regular stuff in its way RoboUP can spot their
edges accurately and mow around [Music] them get from there I'm just checking how it went after
the first run found if few missed spots under a lime tree and I think the height
of the tree might be interfering with the salluite signal so we might need to either
trim the tree a little or move the charging station to an open area and the edges
of the
corner weren't done properly but this corner is tricky to do it manually anyway overall
I'm pretty impressed with how well it does its job there is this spot cutting function
to cover any Mist areas so let's see how it goes I was just Tiding up the edge and guess
who I found sunbathing Suzie we named this blue tongue Suzie who've been hanging around
our back yet for about 3 years now she used to freak me out a lot more when she was smaller but
she stuck around and I've sort of gott
en used to her I know she's harmless but her occasional
surprise appearances really scare me since I just moved the charging station I need to
get the robber MOA to remap it again it should avoid Susie if she's in the way but I'm
sure she will run away even before it reaches her don't come here [Music] what I couldn't get anything done outside
after running into suio yesterday so today I'm just moving the charging station to an open area
because the signal was still weak with all those tree
s nearby even though it was still working
fine I just wanted to see if it's going to perform better as opposed to the traditional mower
which collects the grass clippings into a container this one just lets the clippings
fall onto the grass Mulch and serve as natural nutrition and fertilizer for the
lawn I thought living the clippings would bother me a lot but they kind of disappear
in a few days I love how a simple push of a button can transform the backyard making
it look so neat and tid
y now we can have more family time together without stressing
about the hassle of mowing the lawn every week despite all the ups and downs I've been
feeling lately my YouTube channel has continued to grow and it just hit 100,000 subscribers
it's insane right when I first started this Channel about 2 years ago I'd never imagined
that would come this far your subscriptions likes comments every single bit of it has
helped Reach This Milestone I'm just so grateful and thank you all from the bot
tom of
my heart I'm looking forward to continuing to share our mother journey and cherishing every
[Music] moment [Music] baby I do anything [Music] just [Music] h

Thank you for sharing. We just got through the first year with our first baby and wow, not only was I not expecting just how exhausting it is (no matter how many parents try to warn you!) but I wasn’t expecting how hard I would be on myself to be perfect. I cried when you said you feel like your constantly cleaning and preparing meals. I’m so glad you are posting realistic aspects of motherhood. You’re doing amazing things every day - including those moments of rest ❤️
Parenting is not easy, especially for kids under the age of 1. Sending lots of love and strength your way. And congratulations on reaching 100k. You deserve it.
Hazie, thank you for making this video. I know the feeling and I think sharing it can help mothers realize they aren't alone. I hope I can offer a small amount of uplift by telling you that I'm a first time mother and your videos have helped me, even before my daughter was born. Especially for practical life activities. Recently, during the transition to a floor bed, I was so nervous and stressed. Then, I saw the videos from your channel and it gave me the last bit of confidence I needed to make it happen. Now I can't imagine life without it. You deserve a break, and I know it's hard to take one! Hopefully you will get some time soon to recharge and refresh 💕 Congratulations on 100k!
I have been going through the same thing since my little girl was born. There are days or weeks when I feel like I'm always doing the same thing over and over again in a loop. There have been days when I didn't feel like a person, but rather like another device in the house. And as you say, it is a phase, which will pass, that's for sure, but we have to take some time to breathe, to disconnect and ask for help if we need it. If we don't take care of ourselves we won't be able to take care of others as we would like.
i’m on the same journey my daughter is elijah’s age so you guys helped me through a lot. it definitely feels exhausting sometimes.. but it’ll get better soon. all the hard work to set up good habits for them will pay off 💜
Thank you for sharing so candidly. Looking after young children is intense, and can feel sooo tough (and triggering, especially when sleep deprived). Yes, it's all 'just' a phase, but when you're in the midst of it, it can seem like you'll never feel like yourself again. Sending love to all exhausted parents everywhere.
Thank you for showing this video. I recently became a mum to a wonderful little baby but it is hard. And every other video i am watching they show only the good things and their baby never cries the house is always clean they are always in full make up happy and organised. I was keep wondering what am i doing wrong. You introduced me Montessori which i love. You are an inspiration and a hard working loving mum. You are strong and will fight through this phase . All the best to you and your family
헤이지님 힘내세요! 저도 세아이9살7살2살 보면서, 하루종일 날 위한 시간도 없이 힘들게 보낸 나날들이 많답니다ㅠㅠ 타국에서 아이둘 키우며 채널 운영하며 대단하신것 같아요! 힘내세요! 제가 응원합니다 ❤
Omg, you are doing an amazing job, juggling so much. I commend you to be able to keep your house so clean in between feedings, poor sleep, making lunches etc. I only have one kid (10 month old) and my house is a mess. Cooking all his solids takes ages. And then the clean up. Have you considered using a catchy? Very handy for all the things they throw off. You are totally way more organised. To be able to film as you go is an extra layer of complexity and it would slow down your day for set up. So I would say thankyou for taking all this time and sharing your daily bits and bobs to us viewers. We just aren't organised ourselves
Also congrats on 100k! I remember watching ur videos when you first started and you had a couple thousand 😮
Aww love 😢 must be so hard with 2 … I had a phase like this with my daughter and it happened a couple of times , I was like who am I , I look old and put on weight and couldn’t find joy in things , but it does pass ❤ thank you for sharing and being honest , you are doing amazing ❤
Post partum depression can hit anyone - thank you for being so real in your videos. In solidarity 🫂
thank you so much for sharing. your honesty is so generous. watching you have the same thoughts and feelings helps me feel seen and know that this is all just a phase xxx love your channel, massive congrats on the 100k followers!
첫째 30개월 미운 3살 + 둘째 4개월 원더윅스라 거의 정줄 놓고있었는데 영상에서 말씀하시는 부분이 정말 요즘 제가느끼는 것과 똑같은 감정이라 너무 공감하면서봤어요. 모든 엄마들이 비슷한 과정을 겪는 것 같아요. 저도 아이둘과 지지고볶다가 감정의 구렁텅이 속에서 슬퍼하고 자책하다가도 이게 모두 너무 좋은 엄마가 되려고 해서 그런걸거라고 생각하며 마음을 좀 놓으려해요ㅠㅠ 우리 모두 힘내요ㅠㅠ 금방 이 힘든시기가 지나가고 육아 황금기가 올거예요 ! 참 그리구 10만 축하드려요❤❤❤❤ 멀리 한국에서 항상 영상 기다리고있어요!🥹🥹🥹 + 마지막 부분에서 눈물 쥬르륵 흘렸네요
Hazie, a big warm hug for you from Austria! 💗 You're amazing and very creative, so you'll definitely find a way to go through this stage as smooth as possible with valuable insights! 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you for your honesty. I struggled in the same way and I felt so alone in it. I look at your other videos and thought maybe I created the issue by introducing screens too early, or it was Covid isolation, questioning all my decisions as a mother. I feel like watching you struggle too makes me blame and resent myself less because in my mind you look like you do everything perfectly.
Congratulations on your 100k milestone! I starting watching your channel very early and remember watching the episodes repeatedly ☺️you are amazing!!
Sending love and prayers your way. 🙏 Parenting is the hardest job and you are a wonderful Mom!
아기 낳고 처음 채널 접했는데 이제 저희 아기가 20개월이 되었어요…! 출산후에 제 부모님, 시부모님, 하다못해 지나가는 행인들까지도 한마디 참견하시고… 조언아닌 조언 해주실때 아… 나는 부족한 엄마인가… 아무도 내가 잘하고있구나라는 느낌을 주는 사람이 없네… 이런 생각으로 힘들어할때 Hazie님 영상을 보면서 엄마로써 어떻데 해야겠다라는 core를 다졌어요. 워킹맘이라 진짜 하루하루가 치열하면서 긴데요… 아이가 칭얼거리거나 잠투정하는날엔 진짜 너무 힘들어서 왜 안자나…. 얼른 자야지 생각하다가도 잠든 아이를 만지작거리면서 엄마가 짜증내서 미안해…. 내일은 더 좋은 엄마가 될게… 이러면서 혼자 눈물을 훔치고… 다음날에 코워커들이랑 이런 대화하면서 또 울고 그랬어요…. Hazie님은 구독하는 모든 엄마들에게 좋은 에너지와 motivation 을 주는 좋은 롤모델이세요. 오늘도 수고 많으셨고 잘 하셨어요. 화이팅!
I can relate to this feeling! I have a 3 yr old and a one month old. Even though my newborn naps for a large chunk of the day, I feel so sleep deprived since he is not sleeping through the night. I don't have that expectation at his age, but it's very tiring. Luckily my daughter has been going to a Montessori school since 18 months and she is well behaved for her age. I don't think i could do it otherwise. I love the Montessori philosophy and your videos are really great resources to learn more about it. As you know, things will get easier after the age of one, so let's both think of that as a milestone! Wishing you the best.
