Give yourself grace
Mom life is hard. Actually it’s the hardest. It is physically and mentally exhausting. And there are no breaks. That’s one of the most difficult parts...there is no “unplugging” from motherhood...not even to sleep. There is the stress of physically caring for them, not to mention yourself and sometimes your husband, and keeping them healthy and alive. But then there is the guilt. Mom guilt... When you’re not perfect... And you know that no mom is perfect and no mom can do everything all the time. You tell yourself this and that you should give yourself grace, but the guilt creeps in anyway. And that was before this pandemic came and crashed all of our parties. So mom life was already at a level 10 difficulty...so WTH is this!?!?! Like we’re supposed to keep it together through this!?!? Well we will get through it, but not without forgiving ourselves freely. Give yourself grace. Your kids will be perfectly fine if you are not perfect. Give yourself ...
