I used to do this all the time…�and honestly, I thought it was the cutest thing ever.

Whenever we had something fun planned
a weekend outing, a trip, a visit somewhere
I’d tell my kids days in advance just to see them get excited.�
And it was adorable.ďż˝
Those big eyes, the little squeals, the “yay!!!” energy… it felt like such a sweet moment.

But after learning more about child behavior and just watching my own kids more closely
I started noticing something I had completely missed.
�That “excitement” eventually turned into anxiety.

Especially with my youngest.ďż˝
She would ask about it over and over…�get impatient…�get irritated because the day “wasn’t coming fast enough.”

And when I finally paid attention, I realized:�she wasn’t excited anymore, she was overwhelmed.�
Because little kids don’t understand time.�They only understand right now.

And here’s the part I didn’t expect:�my older two feel this too… just differently.�
They don’t ask “how many sleeps,” but in their own way they also stress when they know too much too early.
�So the approach with them has to be different too.

Now, this is what I do:

With my youngest:�I only tell her right before we need to get ready
like 10 or 15 minutes before.�Enough time to transition… not enough time to spiral.

With my older two:�I give more details and context, but only when things are certain.�If something is still unsure, I actually avoid mentioning it, because waiting for something that may not happen stresses them way more than not knowing at all.

Now everyone is calmer.�My kids enjoy the moment more.�
There’s way less anxiety around “what’s coming next.”�And I feel less frustrated too.

Not sharing this to tell you what to do.
You know your kids better than anyone.
�I’m just saying… sometimes the things we do with the best intentions end up affecting them in ways we don’t even notice.

Tap ❤️if it makes you think about it.

If this made you think of another mom, SHARE this with her 💛�

I sat down to read the comments and suddenly
I felt this wave of

“oh… it’s not just me.”

Here’s what other moms wrote 👇

💬 “You described me to a T. I’m just glad to know I’m not alone, even when it feels like it.”

💬 “I reached this point. I couldn’t take on another thing and I wasn’t the parent I wanted to be anymore. Parenting without a village is hard.”

💬 “I’m a first-time mom. My husband tries his best, but I still feel lonely… and judged.”

💬 “Moms get so good at holding it together that people forget to check in. Just because she’s managing doesn’t mean she’s okay.”

💬 “All of them. It’s exhausting… and I’m trying to run a business on top of it.”

💬 “This was me as a young mom. Nobody noticed. Now I support my daughters so they feel seen in ways I never did.”

💬 “Not broken, just tired. Not weak, just carrying too much.”

💬 “We avoid asking for help because it feels like failure… but it’s actually the bravest kind of strength.”

Reading through these made something click for me.

So many of us are carrying so much…and quietly.

Still packing lunches… still showing up… still loving our kids with everything we have… while whispering “I’m fine” when we’re anything but.

And it reminded me of something important:
we moms need each other more than ever.

Not criticism. Not pressure.

Just support, softness, and someone saying

“you’re not alone. I get it.”

That’s what I want this corner of the internet to be.

A community where moms feel seen, not judged.

Where we lift each other up instead of tearing ourselves down.

Where honesty connects us… because motherhood is hard enough already.

If you’re an emotionally exhausted mom, you’re not weak.

You’re not failing.

You’re human.

And you’re seen here. 💛

The Broken Record Technique ⤵️

Ever lost your patience because your kids just won’t take no for an answer?

Or maybe you’ve even given in just to avoid the meltdown? 😩

Same here.

And let’s be real…this isn’t just a toddler thing.

Teens are experts at this too. 😂

That’s why the Broken Record Technique was a game changer for me:
�✨ Pick a simple, clear response
�✨ Stay calm and repeat it exactly the same way
�✨ Don’t argue, don’t change your tone just hold your ground

(📍SHARE with your partner so you can back each other up!)

When I started using this, everything clicked.

If I get frustrated and waver, of course they think I might change my decision too!

But when I stay consistent? Fewer arguments, way less yelling, and way more peace.

And this isn’t just for kids. Think about it:�✔️ When someone keeps pushing a boundary you’ve set
�✔️ When you need to stand firm in a tough conversation
�✔️ Even when dealing with difficult people at work

Try it next time they start negotiating… and tell me if worked.

I didn’t expect this to work… but it did.
�And I’m sharing it because we do this on autopilot.

We’re not doing anything wrong, we’re just trying to make mornings simpler.

A teacher from Seoul once said something that stayed with me:
�“Parents break discipline at 7 a.m., not in the classroom.”

She explained that most kids start the day with zero decisions.
�We choose the clothes and we choose breakfast.�We choose the pace.�We do everything quickly because we’re rushing.�
And that’s ok. Sometimes it’s just easier to do it ourselves.

I realized I was doing this too, completely on autopilot.

But here’s the thing.�I also know we can’t just hand over the whole routine.�
They’re learning and growing.�
And guiding them is still our responsibility.

So I made a small shift.ďż˝
Not everything… just one decision each morning.

With my older two, I noticed how many things they were already capable of at their age.

Choosing their breakfast, packing their snack, organizing their things for school.ďż˝
So I gave them more space to take the lead.

With my youngest, I started tiny.ďż˝
Every morning she puts on her own shoes and arranges her backpack.ďż˝
Just that.

Younger kids can’t handle too many choices.�Their brain isn’t ready yet, and giving too many options can actually create more conflict.

But one simple decision was enough to bring more cooperation and less resistance.

More confidence.�More of that “I can do it.”�More of the energy that changes the whole morning.

I’m not an expert, just a mom noticing what actually works for my family in real life.

If your mornings feel rushed or full of pushback, try this.
�Let them initiate just one thing.�The smallest thing.

It’s a gentle switch that activates their brain… and it can make the whole day flow better.

💛 Double tap if your mornings feel like a marathon.�

I didn’t think I’d be “that mom”…

until the day someone kept tickling my daughter after she said “stop.”

She laughed at first.
Then she said it again… and again.
And they didn’t listen.

That’s when it hit me:

When a child says “stop,” they’re practicing boundaries.

And when adults ignore it, they learn a painful lesson

that their voice doesn’t matter.

Not on my watch.

So now I step in with simple phrases like:

✔️ “She said stop so let’s respect that?”
✔️ “If she’s not having fun anymore, we pause.”

Because these moments aren’t just tickles.

They’re the foundation of how our kids learn to protect their space, today and years from now.

💛 Has this ever happened with your child?

Yesterday, as he was about to leave for work, our daughter stopped him with a simple request:ďż˝
“Daddy, can I brush your hair?”

I was ready to say, “wait until you’re back home” but before I could, he bent down and said:

🗣️ “Of course, sweetheart. Come make me the best hairstyle in the world.”

Later, he told me the first thought that crossed his mind was, “this will make me late” and “it won’t look the way I like.”
�But then another thought hit him: “how much longer will she even want to do this?”

So he sat.ďż˝
They laughed.ďż˝
They created a memory I know all three of us will carry forever.

To his coworkers, it may have just looked like a funny hairstyle.
�But to us, it was a sign of love, of connection, of being fully present.

These little moments may feel small right now…�
But one day, they’ll be the memories that mean the most.

💛 Save this as a reminder to slow down.
�📍 SHARE it with your partner bc
sometimes, presence is the best gift we can give our kids.

Here’s what I didn’t fully see until know that 👇

1️⃣ When they follow you from room to room,
it’s not because they can’t play alone…
it’s because you’re their comfort place —
even if you’re just putting laundry away.

2️⃣ When they interrupt you over and over,
it’s not disrespect or bad timing…
it’s “you’re my favorite person to talk to.”

3️⃣ When they keep saying “watch me!”
it’s not to annoy you…
it’s “do I matter to you the way you matter to me?”

4️⃣ When they ask you to do it,
even if someone else easily could…
it’s because love feels safest in your hands.

5️⃣ When they collapse into your arms after a long day,
it’s not just cuddles…
it’s their whole nervous system saying,
“I can breathe again, I’m home.”

6️⃣ When they struggle with goodbyes or separation,
it’s not “being dramatic”…
it’s “my world feels steadier when you’re close.”

7️⃣ And when they fall asleep holding your hand, shirt, or face,
it’s not a habit to fix…
it’s their little heart whispering,
“nothing feels more peaceful than you.”

The last one… it got me. 💛

Because so many moments I once labeled as “hard,”
were actually tiny love notes I didn’t know how to read yet.

I don’t want to miss those anymore.
