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.
