So... we all know mommyhood is messy, and not JUST in the "What is that fluid on my tshirt?!" kinda messy, but also in the... life is nothing if not out of control and unpredictible kind of messy.
There is no shame in messy... embrace the disaster!
Society seems to pin women against eachother like starved crazy pitbulls!
The definitions of a good wife/mother/woman being skewed by pop culture and IMPOSSIBLE standards!
So let me go out on a limb here and set the record straight with something that is eating away at me like a pack of starved piranas.... bit by bit. (like the imagery?)
The priorities for moms has been so skewed it is almost lost. Let's go back to "...the greatest of these is love" and let that define our motherhood. There is so much literature out there about how to "properly raise" your little ones. All stocked full of random info prepared to make you feel guilty for nearly EVERYTHING you do. Most of said books will do all but tell you to manufacture your own air on an all organic compound in the middle of the rainforest.
Do you think that is really what matters to God? Isn't His opinion the one that matters??? The best way to discover what kind of parent to be is to look at the ULTIMATE parent. God, himself.
Love, Discipline, Patience, Consistancy, Compassion, Empathy, Spirituality... These are the things that matter. These are the foundations of what we teach our children.
Home grown all organic Jumpsuits... Not so much.
Always put your kids your first and do your best and I'm sure you're doing fine! Don't let the image of "perfect homemaker" eat away at your confidence and soul!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
