Some days I drop my daughter off to school looking like a total hot mess. Messy, baby food in my hair, a nursing bra from 2 years ago and last nights pajamas. I’m sure on those days when I pull up to the school running late, with a crying baby in the back seat and screeching at my kid to hurry up people assume that I’m a frazzled mother who can’t get her life in order. Other days I get up early to take time on my hair and makeup and try my best to look “put together”. I pull up to school with lunch I packed for my daughter the night before, my daughter’s uniform ironed nicely and calmly blow her a kiss and wish her a good day. On those days I’m probably viewed as a mom who’s totally on “on top of it”. But that’s the thing, I’m neither of those moms and at the same time I’m BOTH of those moms. It changes by the day. Some days I’m Mary freaking Poppins, playing with my kids for hours and feeding them nutritious well balanced meals. Some days I plop my kids in front of the tv with a bowl of Veggie Straws. Some days I wash and fold the laundry. Some days I have to run through the same wash 3 times because I'm too lazy to put it in the dryer. Somedays I think of fun educational games to play with my kids. Some days I surrender ownership of my iPhone to my 5 year old daughter. Some days I spend hours tidying up the house. Some days I rely on my dogs to be the “clean up crew” and eat all the crumbs up off the ground. Every day is different, one bad day doesn’t make a bad mom. That’s why we as mothers have to ban together and get over all this judging BS. Just because you see a tiny snippet of another mom yelling at her kid/bringing in the perfect cookies for the bake sale/volunteering for every single school event/feeding her kids massive amounts of candy doesn’t mean you know her whole story or what type of mom she is. We are all human, sometimes we do a great and sometimes we are barely holding it together. Can’t we just give up labeling each other “good” or “bad” moms!? How about we all agree to understand that we are all just moms doing the best we can.
