I’m not that mom….. you know the ones… the ones that have all their sh*t together. I’m not that mom that cooks breakfast, or dinner, I’m not the one that folds laundry ( yes it does get washed, and put on the “Laundry Chairs” as we now call them) I’m not the one who has a cleaning schedule and I can’t remember the last time that I dusted. I’m not the one that looks put together all the time, in fact I am pretty sure this is day 5 of a messy bun ( Oh how I love dry shampoo!) I’m not that mom who holds her tongue when I’m upset or offended, and if my mouth doesn’t say it my face will surely betray me.
I am the mom that say’s let’s have an impromptu dance party just to see my daughters beautiful smile. I am the mom who likes to sometimes just sing to her rather than speak my words. I am the mom who lets us both cuddle in the guest bedroom late at night and eat popcorn in the bed while daddy sleeps. I am the mom that makes sure she knows the rules. I am that mom that can be too serious at times and needs to learn to relax. I am the mom that wants to kick the kid that is being mean to my baby. I am the mom who believes that ice cream can be dinner ( you only live once!) I am that mom that strives to make her child have memories that will last a lifetime. I am not perfect by any means and some may say I don’t have sh*t together and my house isn’t always perfectly clean. However I AM THAT MOM who is willing to stop my entire life to make sure that my daughter’s life is BETTER and she has the best child hood that she can. I am HER mom and that’s all that I have to be.
I’m hoping this blog will help you learn that you do not have to compare yourself to other mom’s. Just do your best for your child. You are their mother and you know them best. Too many times other women “Mom Shame” lets stop, lets step back, we don’t know their situation, and even if you do know their situation are you in it? Are you living it?
Lets love one another. Lets lift each other up. Lets pray for each other. Lets just be the mom’s that we are meant to be.
Much love,
-Not that Mom
I'm not that Mom, Right?
