I thought becoming a mother would be completely different. I mean we all have stories about labor, sleepless nights, teething, tantrums and so on so it's natural that we all form part of this one big group of women that just get one another right?... Wrong!
Happy Saturday Britzies, can you believe we're already 11 days into this new year? Time sure does fly. I hope you're making the most of your new year.
I don't know about the rest of you but through each phase of my life I reached a point where I just had to accept that I was not like everyone else, I had to own it, get comfortable with it and then move forward. Strangely enough, I thought becoming a mother would be completely different. I mean we all have stories about labor, sleepless nights, teething, tantrums and so on so it's natural that we all form part of this one big group of women that just get one another right?... Wrong! so wrong! Lo and behold ladies and gentleman motherhood has cliques too.
To the moms who don't know on which side of the spectrum they fall let me break it down for you; If your hair and nails are not always done if your kid does not always have a clean face, perfectly brushed hair or some form of gluten-free, organic, vegan snack in their nappy bag. If the bags under your eyes are super visible because you didn't have the time to apply a full face of makeup or if your kid doesn't seem to be on their absolute best behavior every time you go in public then you are definitely not one of the cool moms!
So to the other un-cool moms out there let me tell you this; It's okay to not be a cool mom! it's okay to be the mom with the bun who always wears black because it shows the least amount of stains. It's okay to walk around with a kid that has a chocolate stain on the front of their t-shit or crazy hair because they decided to mess it right after you brushed it. It's okay if once in a while your kid has sweets for breakfast or even 3 milk bottles because you haven't yet gathered the strength to make them breakfast but you want to keep them full so they don't nag, and you can get those 5 extra minutes to sleep. And it's definitely okay if your kid hasn't yet figured out the difference between their inside voice and their outside voice.
You are not alone! I also look at those moms in awe and think one day I'm going to be one of those moms and then I look at my kid and then I think it's nice to have a dream. Most importantly though own it! and be proud because regardless of your 'mom status' you are doing your very best and those kids love you unconditionally and I bet they think you're pretty cool too and that is all that matters!
Much love my Britzie’s XOXO
