DO NOT INVALIDATE A MOTHER’S FEELINGS.
You are not in her shoes.
What’s easy for you might be difficult for her.
Moms, have you ever tried to open up about your struggles, only to hear someone say, “That’s easy”?
It stings, doesn’t it?
And sadly, many times we hear it from fellow mothers.
But moms, can we choose to be more supportive instead?
It hurts when the ones we hoped would understand us—are the very ones who put us down.
Maybe you have help at home, that’s why things feel more manageable.
But for another mom, she’s doing everything alone—taking care of her child, her husband, and all the housework.
Maybe you're blessed with a supportive partner, but others are not.
You may have the freedom to stay home with your child, while another mom has no choice but to work and leave her baby in someone else’s care.
You might have a trusted person to watch over your child so you can earn a living—while another mom can’t work at all because no one else can care for her baby.
Let’s try to understand one another.
Let’s lift each other up instead of tearing each other down.
Sending hugs to all the moms who are struggling but still showing up every day. ❤️
