Mom Don’t Feel Guilty For These Things
Listen! Being a parent of course is not easy work, but being a Mom sometimes can make you ready to pull all your damn hair out!
Trust me, I know. There have been days I’ve wanted to say SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! Whew! That felt good! LOL. Well, because that felt good, here are a few things us Mommies should NOT feel guilty for doing.
4. Chase your dreams. It’s totally ok. Us Mom’s are the MASTERS of figuring it all out. I have friends who have placed their career’s on hold because they have children. There is totally nothing wrong with that. It’s also nothing wrong with wanting to have a career either. Now, I understand my career is totally different than others. Because of that, I have to plan different, but I must say this. My son has pretty much played sports year round except for a few months. In the past 4-5 years, I’ve only missed maybe 5 games. It’s all about how you manage your time. Compromise and figure things out, but trust me, you can do it!
3. Not going STRAIGHT to the daycare and after care after work. I legit know a few Moms that feel horrible for not going to get their kids right after work. Listen! Damn that! I have so much peace grocery shopping WITHOUT my kids and sometimes without my husband that I will take my sweet time! I put my airpods in my ear, and rock around that damn store to the sweet sounds of Future, Megan The Stallion, Meek Mill, and Moneybagg Yo. It’s legit fun!
2. Mommy, it’s ok to sit and cry sometimes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said to myself I’ve got to be crazy for feeling so overwhelmed. But truth be told, holding down the fort as a wife and a Mom can be work and sometimes you can get overwhelmed. I have had my moments every now and again and I just need to cry. I’m not afraid to admit it because I’m human. I suffered from post partum depression after the birth of both my children so I know the difference between being overwhelmed and needing help. Nah, I’m just beat the hell up by 8pm some days and it’s nothing a strong glass of wine and a little Chicago P.D. can’t help. LOL.
1. Because of number 3-2, number one is so well needed. It is ok to want time to yourself. I know Moms who feel so guilty by doing so. Now, I’m not saying you trip hopping every day. I mean if you do, that’s your business, but I just don’t have the time or the nanny/au pair funds. lol. So a trip every quarter does a body good for me. I just want Moms to know that it’s totally ok to miss your kids, but still take some time for yourself. I used to feel soooooooo guilty about taking a trip and not taking my kids. Now, whew honey! If I can plan it and I have a sitter, I am OUTTTTTT!
Love you fellow Moms. Remember, regardless what anybody says, YOU GOT THIS. Now go pour a glass, get your cry on, and watch some tv. You’re the sh*t and no one can take that away!
