@mykindamum: Funny how ridiculous these responses sound when we say them to literally anyone else. Yet mums are given these lines on repeat any time they talk about the challenges they’re facing with parenting. “We wouldn’t have it any other way” “Cherish every second” “Just you wait until…” There seems to be some kind of conspiracy that if you admit you’re struggling, it must mean you regret having children or resent them in some way. But the two things are not mutually exclusive… You can love your children deeply AND admit that some parts are hard. 
You can be grateful AND feel exhausted. 
It’s normal to feel lucky AND overwhelmed. Wouldn’t it be nice if, instead of dismissing how hard something feels, people could just say: 
“Yeah, that sounds really tough.” No disclaimer needed. No silver lining. Because Mums don’t need reminding how lucky they are. They need space to be honest. #Motherhood #MumLife #ParentingReality #HonestMotherhood #MumsSupportingMums
