โOn the tough days.
To the mom who walked into playgroup today and left without talking to anyone, despite wanting to.
I saw you there and I care that youโre okay. Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who snapped at her kids today and then felt guilty.
We all have those days, let the mom guilt go. Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who has just had a baby and has absolutely no clue on what sheโs meant to be doing.
Nobody does, we are all making it up as we go along. Some days it works, some days it doesnโt.
Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who felt so exhausted today she doesnโt know how to keep going.
Youโre doing it, youโre keeping on keeping on.
Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who feels like she didnโt play with her children much today.
You fed them, you cuddled them, you loved them. Those are the things they need the most.
Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who scrolled through social media today and saw other moms posting about their perfect life.
Those moms will have their tough days too they just donโt press publish on it.
Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who cried today because she felt lonely and isolated.
There are moms out there who feel exactly the same who are waiting to find a friend just like you.
Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who was late picking up her kids from school and felt guilty because everyone else was early.
It doesnโt matter. It happens. There will be another school day and another school run.
Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who worries she canโt buy her child what their friends have.
Youโre showing your child what being rich in life really means, itโs about making memories not material things.
Donโt be so hard on yourself.
To the mom who has little eyes looking up at them.
Youโre their everything.
To the mom who has tiny fingers wrapped around theirs.
Youโre their world.
To the mom who feels sheโs not coping.
To your child youโre the strongest person they have ever seen.
On the tough days, see yourself through those eyes that look up to you and you will know youโre everything they need, just as you are.
Maybe if we werenโt all so hard on ourselves, things would feel that little bit easier?โ
