Mom guilt. I am fairly confident we’ve all felt it, so how come it can still make someone feel like they aren’t enough? Mom guilt during pregnancy, mom guilt during labour and delivery, mom guilt around feeding your baby, mom guilt around sleep training, mom guilt around parenting styles, mom guilt after going from 1 to 2 kids (in my case 1 to 3), mom guilt around going back to work. I’m sure the list could go on and on.
So, to the mom who:
❤️ raised her voice
❤️ lost her patience
❤️ struggled to keep the house clean
❤️ has four piles of unfolded laundry
❤️ hasn’t showered in a few days
❤️ allowed too much screen time
❤️ hasn’t cooked a meal in 3 days
❤️ is feeling overwhelmed
❤️ doesn’t have it all together
❤️ feels like they’re constantly failing
❤️ loves their kids but also just wants a break.
I hear you. I see you. You are not alone❤️
