Some days you won’t shower
Some days your teeth will have tiny little sweaters on them
Some days your mom bun will need a few more bobby pins
Some days coffee will be your breakfast, lunch and part of your dinner.
Some days your whole body doesn’t feel like it could actually get up and out of bed but your mind could never let you rest.
Some days you struggle to smile and give a hug and kiss an oweie.
Then there are the fleeting moments of pure love. Of such joy and all consuming feeling.
You’ll be so completely overwhelmed with something stronger than love, there is no word for it. You just know. You know that feeling. Love and pride and elation, happiness all of it. Everything. That all those some days won’t even be a memory.
Parenthood is the hardest job, the most difficult relationship, and the most rewarding adventure I have ever had. The amount of feelings and emotions you run through in one day is exhausting. It’s terrible and wonderful all in one.
You battle with yourself daily on what decisions are the right ones, you make mistakes, you get it right, its a constant daily battle for your family.
In the age of social media just continue to remember that you are the one that matters, its your decision your family. There are far to many perfect parents out there letting everyone else know just how terrible you are, you do not need to read that. You don’t need to listen to those people, the ones know nothing about you and your family, or the circumstances in which things take place.
Make it a daily affirmation that you will do you. You will do the best for everyone in your home, and you will not be influenced by all the “influencers” there are out there now. Stop taking advice from people that know nothing about you.
I honestly can’t say it enough.
You are the one that knows what is happening in your home, you know your children, you know your family, you do the best for you.
All week I have read article after article about circumstances pertaining to children, but you never heard the whole story and you don’t know who was involved. The first thing you read in the comments though is people telling the MOTHERS that they need to be better parents and get off their phones. First of all, how anyone can make a judgement about a parent without the full story is just a mean person. Simple, no big explanation needed. Your a mean one. Second, why is it that the mother is the one that takes the blame first? People are fighting to get stores to put in change tables in men’s washrooms, but the mom is the number one target still when anything bad happens to a child. Everything is upside.
So moms. Stop reading the comments.
Let’s all try to be a little more understanding, and not so quick to pass judgement, because we’re all just trying to make it the best we can.
Spread some love today
