Mom guilt rant
Sometimes I am so focused on being efficient that I find myself forgetting to sit and just hug and sing to my baby. He’s sick and I’m trying to clean the house and make dinner and finish work. He was crying for what seemed to be an hour (more like 15 minutes, which is a long time for him) and I began to panic feeling helpless. Nothing was working, diaper changed, fed, already napped. As soon as I cradled him and sang he began to giggle and clap. My heart melted a million times. This is part of my healing; to accept that I am enough for him. I don’t think this is something I have ever felt before 🥹 I feel so honored to be a mom. I hope this helps someone. I just needed to share.

@Lisa that’s such a great tip. I think I’m going to be intentional about that too like maybe just 10-15 minutes of cuddles before anything else.
Aw I think no matter how old we get sometimes being held by our mom is all we need instead of a fix! It took a long time for my mom to get that. So cute 🥰

Thanks for sharing! I have a 5 and 2 year old. I also watch a 1 year old. But it can be so hard to prioritize! I've started just starting my day with giving my girls hugs. Just connecting with them physically helps so much.
