I am a stay at home mom and whenever anyone that isn't a Stay at Home Mom hears that they just go ohh.. that's nice. It's hard being a stay at home mom, everyone expects something from you. Your Home has to be perfectly clean, expect you to go back to work or school, expect that you never do anything. But in reality it is a HARD job. Full honesty here, You gotta deal with kids all day!! Feeding them, cleaning after them, entertaining them, bathing them, change diapers, change clothes, potty training, looking out for them, discipline them, while on top of all of that you have to clean and cook and take care of yourself as well as pay the bills and make sure everything is good in the house. It's a lot and its overwhelming.
Sometimes you are so overwhelm you decide to lounge a little. sit or lay on the couch and be on your phone while the kids play, but not long after that you start looking up "activities for toddlers" "how to clean your home" "how can my kid watch less tv" "how to be a better mom" etc etc. and we start to feel guilty! yikes at least I know I do. Why do we do this to ourselves?!? Endless cycle. But then there is that beautiful moment you see your kid do something new. Say something sweet or just go up to you and cuddle. Those random I love you mommy. It's crazy how something so simple just makes it all worth it. Its like your day is BAD BAD and GOOD then some BAD BAD but that one good moment makes you realize that you stay home for them.
And I know many really do want to return to school or work. I know that I do. I always wanted to be mother, but when I was younger I dreamt of being the best mom and the best business woman. Of course in my little girl mind it all worked out perfectly. But whether I decide to stay at home and be a homemaker or to be a working mom; It really doesn't matter. Because there is moms that are working moms already. It Nothing NEW. We know that they do it for their kids. They are giving up that everyday time with their kids for their betterment. I know a lot of working moms that are amazing they manage a career or job and they are there for their kids. And I'm sure its not easy and its overwhelming.
So HOW ABOUT we stop COMPARING each other. And not define ourselves. We are both MOMS. At the end of the day it's our decision. And You and I shouldn't let anyone guilt us into doing one or the other. because we know we love our Kids. There is no difference between stay at home mom or working mom. We are both moms. We both do everything for our kiddos. We are both amazing! Lets be there for each other & be Kind. Thanks for reading ladies. Please comment below & Follow.
Much love
