In this stage of life, your hormones are a freakin In this stage of life, your hormones are a freaking train wreck. Half the time you will feel exactly like you did when you were pregnant. Emotional. Tired. Fluffffffffy.⁣
⁣
This stage of life is filled with weird doctor appointments with the words “premenopausal,” “genetics,” and “incontinence.” Your body starts to fail you in your mid-40s and it ticks you off. You are NOT that old, dang it.⁣
⁣
In this stage of life, you forget everything. Pick-up times. School events. Your neighbor’s name.⁣
⁣
In this stage of life, you start getting a whole new perspective of how little you know and how much you jacked up earlier in life. You start getting this incredible understanding of how God’s grace is enough to cover all of your mess-ups.⁣

To the breastfeeding mom,⁣ ⁣ Don't judge the f To the breastfeeding mom,⁣

Don't judge the formula-feeding mom for “not getting the same bonding experience.” She may not have been able to produce enough milk. Or maybe her baby didn’t latch, and she was in pain. Or maybe she had the baby blues. She’s not lazy or a bad mom because “breast is best.” What she’s dealing with every day is harder than you know.⁣

Don’t judge the breastfeeding mom. Don’t tell her that her baby would sleep through the night with formula or is “too skinny.” What she’s dealing with every day is harder than you know.⁣
⁣
To the working mom,⁣
⁣
Don’t judge the stay-at-home mom for being “just” a stay-at-home mom. Don’t assume she hangs out all day catching up on reality shows. She’s comforting her preschooler, cleaning up non-stop messes, and rocking a fussy baby to sleep. What she’s dealing with every day is harder than you know.⁣
⁣
To the stay-at-home mom,⁣
⁣
Don’t judge the working mom for missing out when she’s struggling to find the balance. She feels so much guilt not being able to volunteer. What she’s dealing with every day is harder than you know.⁣
⁣
And don’t judge the mom who homeschools, co-sleeps, baby-wears, and lets her kids use iPads, etc.⁣
⁣
There’s a lot that’s broken for mothers in our society.⁣

No matter how she parents, being a mom is hard.⁣
