Motherhood is a beautiful, chaotic journey filled with love, laughter, and moments that test your patience. It’s okay to take a step back and give yourself grace. Whether you’re dealing with tantrums, endless messes, or unsolicited parenting advice, you are not alone.
It’s okay to get frustrated, it’s okay if you’ve yelled or hid in the closet or miss your life before kids.
We’re only human and you’re doing a great job!
Do you just NEED A MINUTE? I hear you—because, me too! 😅
- I have an abundance of patience for tantrums especially if I’m running late and have at least twelve more important things I should be doing.
- I can create the dinner of my dreams and relish every bite, only to have my mini-me demand chicken nuggets instead.
- I am beautiful—even in that awkwardly timed, surprise photo my child took with my phone yesterday.
- I deserve this opportunity to enjoy a hot cup of coffee while shamelessly hiding from my offspring.
- I am unafraid—unafraid of the inevitable meltdown as I casually hint that it might be almost time to possibly consider the idea of going to bed.
- I am grateful for privacy in the bathroom. Well, maybe not total, 100% “privacy,” but the illusion of something that almost resembles privacy to a small extent.
- I am capable of great feats of disassociation when strangers offer well-meaning but ultimately useless unsolicited parenting advice.
