Hunter McGradyis getting real about the difficulties of balancing a relationship while parenting a newborn.
“We give each other the patience we need. We both put in work, and Check in with one another to see how we are feeling. Some days I feel like we got it all together and we give each other a high five, a slap on the butt and move along and some days I’ll cry because I’m not so sure we are doing this thing called parenting right,” she said.

“Some days I miss the us that was able to just up and go to dinner spontaneously at 7pm, or could drive somewhere with no destination just to see where we end up,” she continued. “We’re allowed to simultaneously mourn the past and be so wildly grateful for the present and the future without feeling guilty. ❤️ I’m learning how to be a mama and still date my husband.”

In August, McGrady said on her Instagram Stories that she had been feeling “guilty” for not always being able to provide breast milk for Hudson.
After asking her followers what kind of formula they use for their babies, the model said she felt like “Hudson is so fussy at the bottle but not with the breast milk in the bottle.”
“I feel guilty because I can’t always give breast milk and he seems the happiest with that 😞 Hoping one of these will work for him ❤️,” she added. “And I know I shouldn’t feel guilty…But I always want to keep it real with you guys and I just do.”
