Motherhood is hard as F*&#

Ok, #realtalk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Being a mom is hard as F*#% [sorry 🤐] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today my day consisted of a #disaster morning trying to get my kids out of the door and to school. My older daughter i.e. my strong-willed #threenager had about 10 tantrums before getting to school. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

First, she didn’t want to get dressed, didn’t want me to brush her hair, got a scratch on her foot, didn’t want to wear her seatbelt, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Eventually, I just let her cry until she got to school. Then I spent the entire day at work hating myself and wishing I had more patience. Maybe I should have had more patience when she wanted to choose her outfit. Or maybe I should have been more sympathetic when she got a scratch on her toe. #Ugh

I promised myself that I’d be Ms. Super Loving Mom when I got home. Which I was. Lots of hugs and cuddles and “I Love You’s” til I tucked her into bed.

Tonight, I’m thankful that kids are a little like #God and offer constant #forgiveness. Hoping tomorrow morning will be a bit better!

Anyone else feel this struggle? What tips help you get by?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❤️
