Mom with tiny babies – I know you feel over joyed with your tiny bundle of love, but I also know you feel overwhelmed and completely lost. I see you!
Everyone with advice and judgments from all angles – It’s hard to navigate it all… Especially in todays world! I mean social media posts (better get the perfect photo of your perfect house and your perfect body and your perfect family. (FUCK THAT)
Being a new Mom is HARD! I don’t care how much you wanted it or planned for it or Love it! it’s hard! It’s exhausting trying to figure out the right things.
Are you breast or bottle feeding? Are you doing vaccinations or not? Are you coddling your baby or doing the cry it out method? Are you putting your tiny tot in shoes or no? Are you cloth diapering or no? Are you doing baby food or table food? Are you working or staying home? I mean all the questions and choices!
I SEE YOU!
I’m here to tell you there isn’t a right or wrong – There is are you trying? If you are trying and working with what you know and trying to educate yourself on more – Then you are doing GREAT!
One of my boys had a bottle and one had the boob, I stayed home with one and one went to day care! One is vaxed and one isn’t! One is public schooled and one is homeschooled! I don’t love one more than the other, just our circumstances changed, my information has changed and my ability to make decisions outside the norm has changed. I don’t feel as much pressure like I did with my first.
Mom who has elementary kids – I see you! Is your kid going to public, private, or homeschool? Is your child playing sports? Do you have your child involved in enough activities? Are you doing tutoring or not? Does your child ride a bis or are they a car rider? What school system did you choose? OH my GOSH!!!!
I SEE YOU!
We have done a mix of all the schooling, we have lived in 3 states and done all the activities and also done no activities… It doesn’t matter what you choose for your family! Don’t allow outside pressures of the family down the road that is gone every night of the week.. That’s what works for them! Find what works for you and your family. Every home operates different and that’s okay!
The only thing you need to ask yourself is: Are you showing up for your child in the best way you can with what you have? If so then you are doing GREAT!
I SEE YOU!
Middle school / high school Mom’s – I see you! Are you filling out all the college applications? Are they wearing all the brands? Are they involved in enough activities for college…Are they choosing the workforce? Maybe military? Maybe your child wants to take a year off and maybe they don’t have it figured out. All of these things are okay! They don’t have to have it all figured out at these ages. I am almost 40 and still trying to figure it out – Breathe easy Mama! The only thing we can do as parents to older children is set clear boundaries, clear expectations, and firm foundations! This way they know they are seen, heard, and loved even if they mess up and they will mess up! Don’t compare your child to another person’s child – They will all be different and that’s okay! You are doing GREAT!
I SEE YOU!
Adult Mom’s! I see you! Whewww this is…. Talk about relinquishing control and really letting them fly! EEEK! Let them make mistakes, Let them make decisions that work for them. All we can do is be there when they need us.
Each stage has it’s okay set of trials, tribulations, and the most sweet moments! Embrace it! Experience it! Enjoy it!
Breathe easy! Each day is a new day – Let them be little!!!! Let them have a little fun! Let them fall down! Let them celebrate the wins! Let them learn! Let them try new things!
Don’t be so hard on yourself! If your baby is breathing, smiling, and learning – you are doing alright!
I SEE YOU!
