Ali Fedotowsky-Mannohas a message for her fellow moms: It’s okay to ask for help.

In a Friday Instagram post,The Bachelorettealum revealed that her recent decision to hire a nanny to help out with her 2-year-old daughter Molly Sullivan “has seriously changed [her] life.”

“Yesterday I was actually able to put on make up, get dressed in a cute outfit, and run errands that I had put on hold for months,” wrote the mother of two, whowelcomed her second child, sonRiley Doran, on May 24.

“I think for a while I was too embarrassed to get someone to help me because I was worried about being judged for notbeing able to do it all myself,” admits Fedotowsky-Manno. “And ya know what, I’m kind of upset with myself for waiting as long as I did because not only am I a better mommy now but I feel like I have some of my sanity back.”

Earlier this week, Fedotowsky-Manno lamented toEntertainment Tonightabout being a new parent of two, “Life is really hard right now,” adding that if she’d known “how much harder two was … maybe I would have waited a little longer.”

“My husband and Ihave not slept in the same bedin two months,” she told the outlet. “He does a morning radio show, so he works really early and I need him to get good sleep. Even on weekends, when he’s not doing his show, I need him to get good sleep so he can wake up with Molly, so I can get a few extra hours of sleep.”
