To be honest some days I'm just a bad mom. I lose my temper, my patience is short. Some days theres two baskets full of laundry that needs to be folded, a sink full of dishes and cold cereal for dinner instead of a three course meal because I just cant muster up the energy to cook and the pile of dishes are already mocking me, daring me to add more to the mess. Some days I cry in the bathroom while my two year old knocks on the door wondering why mommy wont come and play. I cry even harder when my sobs are echoed by the wails of my children wanting, needing and upset about something. Some nights I hold my two year old begging him to go to sleep. And even after both kids are fast asleep I still feel an overwhelming amount of anxiety as though I need to be doing something, my job is never finished. Although many of these days are the complete opposite. filled with laughter, smiles and joyful memories; the truth is that motherhood is not always easy nor is it always fun. Talking about the hardships, talking about the mental impact some days can have on you is so important and shouldn't be taboo. No mother should feel ashamed for needing a break or needing some time to rejuvenate. Go get your nails done, go on a drive with the window down, music blaring sipping on that iced coffee, go buy yourself some new shoes. Do what's refreshing for your soul. It takes a village to raise a child, utilize your village💕
