I mean...
SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW MOMS are supposed to work 9-5, drop the kids off at school at 8 AM, pick them up by 3 PM, stay on top of school activities, meal prep, cook dinner, keep the house clean, do the laundry, run the kids to extracurricular activities, climb the corporate ladder, save sick days for when the kids are sick, be a good friend, daughter, and partner, all while trying to take care of their own body and mental healthβ¦
It's a miracle they do it all, honestly! Like, how do they even function?! They're like superheroes, but without the cape (most of the time, anyway). The truth is, moms are often expected to be everything to everyone, and it's exhausting. It's like they're trying to solve a puzzle, but with missing pieces, and the picture keeps changing.
And let's be real, it's not just about managing the logistics; it's about emotional labor, too. They're constantly thinking about everyone else's needs, feelings, and schedules, often at the expense of their own. It's time to acknowledge the incredible effort moms put in every day and start giving them the support, grace, and appreciation they deserve.
