Jietenai Happy Moments

06/05/2023

I’ll never claim to be the best mom.⁣

I’m not the mom who is the best at cooking. I make chicken nuggets and order pizza more than I’d like to admit. ⁣

I’m not the mom who is the best at homework help. I lose it if you’re not in the mood, and when you throw a fit, I give up.⁣

I’m not the mom who is always put together. I show up to school pick-up in sweats and my hair in a messy bun, with a kid on each limb.⁣

I’m not the mom who remembers everything. I miss appointments, mix up playdates, and misplace items. ⁣

When you were born, you didn’t come with instructions,⁣
but the moment I held you in my arms,⁣
I promised I’d always do my best.⁣

And my best isn’t perfect.⁣
I’ve made many mistakes along the way.

But everything I do,⁣
is with love.⁣

Because you’re my dreams for every tomorrow,⁣
my life,⁣
my world,⁣
and I’ll try my best,⁣
even on the hardest days…⁣

Just like I promised the day you were born.

Hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because the baby’s being taken care of—⁣⁣
fed, snuggled, and given all the love in the world—⁣⁣
by not only the mother,⁣⁣
but her partner, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But the mother,⁣⁣
may have gaps in her mind from lack of sleep,⁣⁣
may be mechanical in her motions as she’s healing,⁣⁣
may feel more like a mess than a mother,⁣⁣
may be sitting in bed, crying, feeling overwhelmed in her body and life,⁣⁣
may be full of mom guilt because in her mind, "she's not good enough,"⁣⁣
and she’s bleeding, wincing in pain, swollen and emotional.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And the mother’s that baby's whole world and needs to be seen, so she doesn't disappear into that postpartum fog.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, hold the mother, not the baby.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A mother agrees that her baby matters more.⁣⁣
But she’s hurting, while she’s the person behind the baby,⁣⁣
in the background, making it all happen:⁣⁣
feeding her baby at all hours,⁣⁣
snuggling her baby close to comfort newborn cries,⁣⁣
and being that baby’s everything.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, it’s the mother who needs your love.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And a mother will remember who held her up.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So instead of “I’m coming to see the baby,”⁣⁣
try saying, “I’m coming to see you 𝘢𝘯𝘥 meet the baby, too.”⁣⁣

Because the mother needs to be held more.⁣⁣
