Hey y’all So, have you noticed how the world of parenting has evolved? Back in the day, our parents would just let us roam free, but now we have all these safety precautions in place. I mean, I have more childproof locks on my cabinets than a maximum-security prison. I swear, my kitchen looks like Fort Knox!
And let's talk about technology. As a millennial mom, I've got to keep up with all the latest gadgets. I mean, my toddler is better at navigating my phone than I am! It's like having a tiny tech expert living in my house. He can unlock my phone, find his favorite cartoons, and order snacks on Amazon Prime. I'm starting to think he might be the next Elon Musk.
But it's not just technology that's changing the game. The whole parenting game has become one big competition. Remember when it was just about making sure your kid had clean clothes and a full belly? Now it's all about Pinterest-perfect birthday parties, organic homemade baby food, and Instagram-worthy #MomLife moments. I'm just over here trying to survive nap time, and these moms are creating Picasso-level crafts out of macaroni noodles. How?!
And can we talk about mom guilt? It's real, my friends. As a millennial mom, I feel guilty about everything. Did I breastfeed long enough? Am I feeding my kids the right snacks? Did I sign them up for enough extracurricular activities? I mean, I'm just one person trying to keep these tiny humans alive while also maintaining some semblance of sanity. They should give out medals for that!
But you know what? Despite all the challenges and craziness, being a millennial mom is pretty awesome. We may not have it all together, but we're figuring it out one day at a time. And let's be real, our kids will probably end up in therapy someday talking about the time Mom accidentally used the diaper cream as toothpaste. Hey, at least we'll give them some good material!
So, my fellow millennial moms, let's embrace the chaos, laugh at the absurdity, and enjoy the ride. And remember, we're all in this together, just trying to raise these tiny humans without losing our minds. Cheers to us, the superheroes of #MomLife!

Lol this is so true! I remember getting to just play outside all day and I don't remember my mom checking on us 24/7, she may have been watching through the window but I never even thought about looking to see lol I could never let my kids just play by themselves outside, I'd be a nervous wreck. And it's insane how our kids can just pick up a tablet and know how to use them right away, I could never. Yes to all of these examples. It's so crazy! And mom guilt is real😭 I breastfed each kid until I had the next one and with Journie until she was like 2 1/2, I did it nearly 7 years straight, no breaks in between and still question if I breastfed long enough! That's insane. I pushed my body to it's limit, I was completely drained and always exhausted, with low iron plus just the mental exhaustion it brings, there were days I didn't think I'd make it. Well, I did, I successfully weaned Journie like 4-5 months ago and finally got my energy back🤸 my body did that and I am still amazed at how strong I was, to be able to breastfeed through my two pregnancies and take care of 3 kids practically by myself for the past 2 1/2 nearly 3 years has been hard but I have accomplished that. 💪 Some days I thought I'd break, I have been mentally pushed to my limits on several occasions but look at me! I am thriving and feel good about how things are going in our life.
