Yesterday I was told that I was a good mother. Although I already know this, it’s always great hearing it from someone else.
I feel like as mothers we sometimes don’t get the credit we deserve, and you know what that’s fine. It’s okay to give yourself credit. Don’t wait on anyone to tell you you’re doing the damn thing (although it feels good hearing it from other people), but no one knows how hard we work behind close doors when eyes aren’t watching; only we do.
Everyone doesn’t get the chance to see that you missed meals being a mother, that you can’t use the bathroom in peace, or even get 5 minutes alone. Don’t get me wrong I have the biggest village behind me so if I did want those 5 minutes alone I can always get it, but the point is, as mother we all sacrifice something for our littles.
So don’t wait for someone else to give you credit, give yourself credit and applaud yourself!
And if you need to hear it from someone else; You’re a great mother!!!!
