I am a Imperfectly perfect mom.
Sometimes I expect too much of myself and forget to embrace who I actually am.
By trying to be perfect each time I succumb to the pressures of becoming an overachieving mother to an extent I lose my identity.
I do not need to strive to be a perfect mom,I can just be a good one.
There have been some difficult days and I have managed to pull it off.
Why do I not credit myself on that little achievement?
Why do I overthink calling it a mothers job?
Why do I get so hard on myself ,mistakes will happen as there is no script for me to follow.
Why do I measure myself by an impossible yardstick as that will only set me up for a certain failure.
Now I tell myself let the standards slide I am entitled to my feelings and happiness.
I have my own style and I don’t follow anyone and at the same time not expect anyone to follow me.
It takes time to get to that wisdom.It’s a journey where your child grows and you mature as a mother.
I do not want to be a super mom – I want to be just a mom who is part of the family photograph.Any extra attention given to me directly increases the pressure of being a mother.
Happy Mother’s Day to one and all mothers ❤️.
Just be a mother (no adjectives attached).
You are the best your child has.
Awesome. Cannot be penned better. Just be the mother.
