Being a stay at home mom is HARD.
It’s not just relaxing at home.
It’s maintaining a household that’s full of chaos, while raising small children.
With 0 sick days and 0 days off.
Your day starts the moment they open their eyes, and it doesn’t end until after they’re in bed.
It’s pure chaos.
Making three meals a day.
With several snacks in between.
It’s wiping butts, tears, sticky fingers and counters.
Little hands reaching for you 24/7.
It’s teaching, cleaning, comforting, caring and supporting.
It’s having no break even when you’re in desperate need of one.
Being overwhelmed and touched out but still needed.
It’s having to wake up and do it all again tomorrow.
Being a stay at home mom isn’t easy.
If it was everyone would do it.
But still its struggles are minimized and brushed off.
“I wish I could stay home all day.”
Sure it’s great to stay home with my children, but don’t you dare for a second pretend it’s easy.
Being a stay at home mom is a full time job.
