@kaitlyn.b0506: “Mom. Mom. Mom.” She said it three times. Soft at first. Then louder. Then she just… stopped. She looked at her mom—who didn’t look back. Head buried in the laptop. Phone in hand. Eyes glazed over from the weight of a hundred tabs open in her brain. The video caught the moment her little face cracked. A heartbreak so small it would never make a sound. But the kind that leaves a scar. This wasn’t neglect. This wasn’t abuse. This was a good mom. A busy mom. A mom trying to do it all — raise kids, run a business, keep a house, remember who she even is. But in that moment, it didn’t matter. Because she missed the moment. We all do. We miss the glances, the giggles, the cries for attention that aren’t tantrums — they’re just little voices wanting to be seen. The truth is: we are so connected to the world, and so disconnected from the people right in front of us. So here’s the reminder we all need — myself included: Put the phone down. Close the laptop. Look up. Because one day, they’ll stop saying “mom” 3 times. And they’ll stop expecting us to look. Not because they don’t love us. But because we trained them not to expect our attention. And nothing is worth that. ****my brother Christian took this video…my daughter was trying to get my attention and I completely ignored her. This hit me pretty hard. I also didnt realize what I was doing. Open your eyes and start paying attention. #momlife #dobetter #viral #parenting #kids #showup #stayathomemom
