Mixed Mom Brown Babies

There is no perfect mother. I’m sure you’ve heard that a lot, but do you actually believe it? Or are you still bashing yourself for not getting it all right? Because none of us get it all right, ever. It took me years to fully understand that and even longer to accept it and be okay with it. Motherhood isn’t some competition to raise the best kids. It’s also not some showcase of who can have the best behaved children who eat only organic and know how to read at nine months. Those things are literally impossible, and I hate how society makes us feel like failure for not being able to meet such ridiculous expectations.  

So if you haven’t yet gotten to the point of letting go of all those unrealistic goals know that when you finally do it will be so freeing. The morning you wake up and realize you aren’t concerned about what your mother in law, sister, or “best friend” thinks of your mothering will be one of the best days of your life. It will be the day you take back your motherhood and own it like the awesome momma you are!
