Being a mom without family nearby is a different kind of hard!
no one to call for a last minute babysitter
no one to swing by when you’re sick and still have to parent
no meals dropped off
no built in support system
no quick help for errands, appointments, or even just five minutes to breathe
everything falls on you
you don’t get breaks
you don’t get backup
you just figure it out tired, touched out, and overwhelmed because there’s no other choice
and the hardest part is
your family doesn’t get to really know your kids
they miss the milestones, the little moments, the everyday magic
your kids grow up, and your people watch it happen through a screen
and people wonder why moms are burnt out and struggling mentally. (copy)
