For All You Didn'T Do Today.. - Parenting - 2023

“You’d never walk into a friend’s house and say, ‘wow this place is a mess, what did you even do today?’ But so often this is the way we speak to ourselves.⁣

The thing is, the stuff we didn’t do is so readily apparent. We have visual reminders — baskets of unfolded laundry, a sink full of dishes, unmade beds — that pile of stuff that always accumulates in that one spot in the kitchen.⁣

Wouldn’t it be so great if we had a running list of everything we DID do?⁣

It’s not that any of us is looking for a trophy for the things we do, I know that we all feel privileged to have this role but it’s that very often we discredit ourselves for all we actually do as moms. 💗⁣

Sometimes we all need a reminder that we’re doing a good job, we’re a good mom and we’re doing the best we can.⁣” (words, 📸: @katie.plus.coffee ) on Instagram.
