Thankyou for writing this, absolutely spot on with how I feel in motherhood and being told to enjoy every moment. Thankyou for speaking the truth so articulately on this.

I appreciate this honesty so much! It’s easy to look around at those moms who post nothing but glowing sentiments and perfect pictures and rave about how motherhood is the best thing ever and go “man, I must be doing it all wrong, because some of my days just suck!” Like it’s an unspoken rule that we must never admit to how hard it truly is and must promote the concept of enjoying or loving every moment….you are right, that’s a pressure that no mom can truly live measure up to. And we shouldn’t try to! Keep up your wonderful posts and please continue to keep it real for those of us moms who need it.

Great post! I guess it’s easy for women who’s children have already grown up and moved from home to say “cherish every moment”. But I’m with you, there are definitely times that make me want to pull my hair out that I really see as not necessary to cherish.

Really well written, thank you!!! You took words I wanted to say and made them come together. Especially the sore nipples. Excellent writing.

I do say this and it is not meant in any way to put pressure on a young mom. Both of my kids are grown and we had them when we where still fairly young ourselves by today’s standards. We had them both by the age of 25. I was a full time ICU nurse, my husband a pastor. It was really difficult. I remember being tired. Not being able to sleep on days after working the night shift because we had no family in the area and no day care back then. I remember the terrible twos, the horrific threes, the battles of the pre teens. Wondering when It was going to get better. It was not easy!! It was hard!! But, there will come a time when you will miss it. When they don’t need you anymore. Don’t need your help (you think that’s great at first, but then they don’t need you at all. And then you start to wonder if they really ever needed you at all. Oh the wonders of a mom’s mind). Do my kids need me now? Yes, on some level. It’s hard to see, but isn’t that what I wanted? For them to grow up and to be self-sufficient adults? Yes. They are not kids anymore. And that is why I tell moms with young kids, teen kids, any kids to enjoy very moment (not literally). To take every moment in. Live it. Teach it. Survive it. Because one day, they will be gone.
