Bad Mum

This is worth the read. So true, but so worth it.........

For the exhausted mom who hides a few minutes to cry in the bathroom...

For the mom hidden in the bathroom, because she needs a few minutes of tranquility while slipping tears from her eyes.

For the mom who is so tired that she feels she can't continue, that she would give anything for a moment of peace.

For the mom who cries in her room for having scolded the kids for a nonsense that makes her feel guilty.

For the mom who desperately battles when wearing denim pants because she wants to look pretty and wear them to feel better.

For the mom who asks for dinner pizza because she didn't reach the time to make dinner again as she expected.

For the mom who feels alone, even when she's accompanied.

You're worth a lot.

You are important.

You are enough.

This is a stage, a crazy and challenging stage for all moms.

But in the end everything will be worth it. For now it's hard. Difficult in many and different ways for each of us. We don't always talk, but we all fight, you're not alone.

You are enough.

You give the best of you.

Those little eyes that observe you think you're perfect, they think you're more than perfect.

Those little hands that ask for your arms, they think you're the strongest and you can conquer the world.

Those little mouths eating what you cook, they think you're the best

Those little hearts looking for yours, they want nothing but you.

Because you are enough for them, you are more than enough, mom.

You are wonderful...

Yesterday afternoon just before dinner prep I started feeling unwell, by 7.30 the kids were fed and in bed and so was I. Back and forth from the toilet all night with the urge to vomit but not actually vomiting. 14hours later and I am still feeling very average, my body is aching and I have a headache.

As a mum there isn’t a rest day or opportunity to just lay in bed, I know when my girls go down to nap I too will have a lay down. It seems that my girls know I’m not well, both of them are playing with their toys, keeping to themselves and all round being super affectionate.

Parents need to be tough and deal at times like this. I am currently laying in the couch trying rel hard to keep my eyes open and have put on some Disney and made my kids some fruit. I feel bad the house is a nightmare, the meals aren’t prepped and I haven’t interacted with them much all day, my energy is gone.

If you ever find yourself in this position know you are not alone, we all go through this and it too shall pass... or I’ll pass out one or the other hahah
