Hey Housewives!
We understand that being a mom makes you question everything, while also feeling like you know it all. Due to our current culture, we have resources and help from every angle, however we also have advice and criticism on EVERYTHING we do as a parent…which brings along so much shame & guilt for the motherhood journey.
We start this episode by sharing how initially doubting your own motherhood intuition is the beginning of mom guilt and developing that inner sense. It’s different for each of us, becoming moms, that first mom guilt for Tracy was “failing at breastfeeding” which led her into postpartum depression. Tori’s experience was going on an antidepressant due to anxiety while pregnant and having an 8 month old.
➡️ Mom guilt: my kid isn’t reading at grade level, my kid doesn’t play competitive sports, whether your kid goes to college, quality time with each kid, cooking for them or hitting the drive thrus, the way that you support your kids
➡️ We want to encourage you to not put yourself in a box to what type of mom you are: homeschool mom, stay at home mom, work from home mom, working mom, step mom, foster mom, adoptive mom. All those titles are just circumstance around you…it doesn’t define you, you’re a mom! Remove the adjective before mom and be confident that “You are a good Mom!” Motherhood doesn’t need to be defined as a certain type of mom.
➡️ Mom shaming is becoming more apparent due to social media and the freely sharing of conflicting ideas. It’s caused a lot of comparison: to what other moms have time for, their Pinterest ideas, how they are handling the pandemic and more. The feeling of if you aren’t doing it the way someone else is, you aren’t a good mom, is a false claim and we encourage you that you are exactly the kind of mom your kids need, and your kids are exactly what you need.
💙 What we want for you is to say “I’m a good mom”…not I’m a good mom because I do this or that…just simply “I’m a good mom”
💙Housewives, each one of you are a good mom 💙
