After that, I felt very tired, maybe from work or activities during the day and also after dealing with a tantrum child. Suddenly, I cried because I felt drained of energy," said Nikita Willy in the post.

Nikita, who shared a picture of herself calming down Issa who was having a tantrum. Although it's not easy to deal with a tantrum-throwing toddler, Nikita tries to remain calm when facing her child. Eventually, she manages to make Baby Issa calm and fall asleep, and without realizing it, he cries. Nevertheless, Nikita says that feeling sad and tired is normal.

"What I want to convey here is that I believe many new moms must feel what I feel. When our children learn to regulate their emotions, we are also learning to deal with it and be the best for them.
And it's normal to feel sad, guilty, and even cry, not because we are weak or failed, but because we are respecting our own feelings."

She also says that what a mother needs is a hug, "And for all husbands, if you're reading this... hug your wife. Don't ask, just hug... Because sometimes all we need is a simple hug." explains the 29-year-old artist.
