The Truth about Mom burnout.

Ok y’all sit back and buckle up for a whirlwind.

Mommas out there!! This one is for you.

What does it mean to be a mom? It means weird questions, kids that constantly want to fight with you or each other, never ending random trips to the store for ABSOLUTELY nothing. It means chaos and destruction. It means laughter and joy. It means you get to feel every single emotion that humans are capable of feeling within a single day. Rage, love, joy, frustration, irritability, confusion, and every combo in between.

There is one truth that I have found through my journey as a decca-mom. And it is that while I love my children more than life itself, I really don’t like them sometimes, and that is ok. Something that I think a lot of parents forget. Sometimes we are not going to like our kids. We’re not supposed to like them every minute of every day for the entirety of their existence.

What are we supposed to do? We’re supposed to love them. We’re supposed to teach them. We’re supposed to prepare them for life without us. We’re supposed to teach them how to keep their shit together when they feel like falling apart. We are not supposed to like them ALL of the time. Let’s be real, it’s unrealistic to expect to like someone 100% of the time. Same rules apply to our kids.
