Thank you for sharing! Most people don't have a fairy-tale parenting experience and woah you had a doozy when they were young! I couldn't imagine driving 3 hrs roundtrip to see our baby. Also, kids will always need their moms if the moms are available! I'm not judging either side of my family on how they handle grandparenting. However, my parents are hands-off and my wife's parents are very much in our lives and our kids' lives.
.Reading your beautiful and heartfelt journey through motherhood truly overwhelmed me with emotion. It reminded me that as mothers, we are all simply doing the very best we can each day, with the love, strength, and courage we carry in our hearts. None of us have all the answers, yet we continue to show up every single day for our children, even through exhaustion, doubt, and sacrifice. Your words were deeply touching and a beautiful reminder that motherhood is not about perfection — it is about unconditional love, resilience, and giving our all in every moment... Happy mother's day dear. 🤗🫶
Thank you for writing this with such honesty. I really appreciated your reminder that motherhood doesn’t look or feel the same for everyone. Hope you have a beautiful Mother’s Day.💐💗
I am so glad you wrote this... Because mothers deserve to know that motherhood comes with all kinds of mothers. And doing PhD through all that!
Happy Mother's Day❤️
Thanks my friend. I wasn't sure if it would be well received but it's important to acknowledge different types of people.❤️

I almost forgot - Happy Mother's Day!!
Awesome article, totally rings true! My kids are all grown up - one left home and the other is about to - and I still feel like I’m faking momhood! 🤣🤣
Lol 😂 😂. Thanks sis🤗
