Motherhood Challenges

After becoming a MOM, I realized that to the world, we’re NOT allowed to:

• Complain – “You chose to have kids.”
• Cry – “Why are you upset? Did you think it would be easy?”
• Feel tired – “Tired from what? You’re home all day!”
• Sleep in – “You’re just being lazy!”
• Take a break – “You’ll get rest once they’re grown.”
• Get pregnant again – “Are you serious? Isn’t that enough?”
• Leave your job – “How are you going to provide for your child?”
• Work – “Who’s going to watch the baby?”
• Use daycare – “Don’t let strangers raise your kid!”
• Be a stay at home mom – “Your husband does everything while you do nothing!”
• Be single – “Nobody wants a mom with baggage.”
• Go out – “Why are you going out and leaving your child?”

And the truth is…
No matter what we do, someone ALWAYS has something to say.

Let’s normalize giving moms grace. I’m a mom. I LOVE my kids. But I’ve felt EVERY one of these things at some point.
