You have made so many of my days better. A beautiful stranger mom. Thank you. I SEE YOU too, and you are just as amazing! I needed to read this today. We have all the same mom feels. Hearing that makes me feel normal. Especially today. I am not an eloquent writer, so unfortunately you will never stumble upon my beautifully written post when you need it most. In fact, I am hardly ever on social media at all! But I am there with you. In the mom trenches if you will. Thank you for sharing it all. It’s beyond helpful to so many. Happy mother’s day!

Ugh…..I don’t think I can love you any more. LOL You always seem to hit the nail on the head. I thought adulting was hard, but parenting is so much harder. And you’re right….we are harder on ourselves. I really didn’t think I was a helicopter parent either….until I read this. So thanks for that! haha It’s really good to hear other people talk about these things though because it really does help me feel more normal. I have one that is getting ready to head off to college, the same one I work at, and it will take everything I have not to do things for him (cause you know I can do it faster, more efficient, and in a timely manner) 🙂 I know they can do things, but a part of me doesn’t want to let them cause that means they will need me a little less. I suppose when I start letting go, they will start having children of their own, and then I can start the process all over with my grandchildren. Sounds like a solid plan to me. haha

I’ve been at this mothering thing for over 21 years. My oldest graduated from college today, and she and I got into a shouting match on the front lawn outside of the arena where the ceremony was held because I wanted to take a family picture while she wanted to say goodbye to every. single. professor. she’d had in the past. four. years. Being a mom is hard. Every day. And worth it. Every day.

You truly said it all. You really get it. I do all this from the chocolate and bath thing to the cry in the pillow thing. Thanks for these kind words. You are right. Sometimes love is enough.
