“My kids hate me” I felt like the worst mom ever bursting into tears 😭
It had been a day.. teenager full of attitude, three-anger 3x the sass, and a baby whose sole purpose today was to cover me in barf at every step
All while healing from delivery… and working full time
My head felt like it was going to explode… and so I exploded instead
“WHY CANT YOU JUST LISTEN?!”
I lost complete control of my body in that moment
Crying yelling… my teen just stared and my 3 year old well he just yelled right back
I looked at this tiny human emulating every ounce of me and burst into tears
My kids must hate me.. what have I done??
Why is parenting so hard!?
What I couldn’t see in that moment is what they saw…
They saw me making them breakfast
Singing to them
Playing with them
Dancing
Snuggling
Kissing booboos
Going to football practices
They saw me being a good mom, a mom that loves them deeply.
Remember mama a bad moment doesn’t make you a bad mom 💜
They see ALL of you, not just the parts you don’t like
