Comforted by my boy đź’•

Tonight was the first time I’ve ever broken down in front of my son. He’s about to turn 3 this month… I was putting him to bed, tucking him in - and I’m not sure what came over me but I just started crying. I think it’s the stress of everything… And feeling like I might be failing him. But the tears wouldn’t stop, and he just sat up and gave me a hug, whispered that he loved me and blew me a kiss. I think I needed that now more than ever… I’m so thankful to have him. But I also felt this sense of guilt… I don’t want to put that weight on him of feeling like he has to comfort his broken mother. I also do feel this sense of relief though having let that out. Any other moms experienced anything similar?

So sweet ❤️ I think it’s good to show vulnerability to our kids, but It’s hard to do when you’re used to being the parent and a supermom. I have a 4 year old and he can always tell when I need love. We are human. Sending love your way.

It’s ok to have a moment Mom. I too one day randomly started crying in front of my 3 year old and he comforted me. Lol I also felt a sense of guilt but Sometimes god speaks to us through our children. Hang in there Mom! You’ve got this! P.S ….that boy love is so different. Hit me Momma if you wanna talk. ❤️

Thank you both 🥰 I was emotional last night for some reason and felt so bad that he felt that energy. I just don’t want him to carry that burden. I believe that god probably does show us love through our children though! Love that
