It takes a village,
but in our society, the brunt of it falls on a mum.
She’s the landscaper,
the cleaner who picks up after the kid tornado that storms through her house,
the chef and waitress who oversees and serves every meal AND snack,
the referee constantly breaking up sibling fights,
the teacher of everything from homework to the world around them,
the scheduler who makes every appointment, playdate, birthday party, and project deadline,
the life coach who gives advice, comfort, and a listening ear,
the nurse who fixes boo-boos with magical kisses and colorful band-aids,
and the list goes on,
and on.
It takes a village, but when she doesn't have a village helping her all the time,
she’s left feeling exhausted, and like she’s falling short.
She becomes anxious and depressed.
She feels lonely, unseen, and constantly judged.
She’ll try to do more as a mom to feel better,
and it becomes a self-perpetuating cycle where she’ll never feel enough.
But the fact that she's struggling is not a reflection of her failures but the impossible expectations placed on her by society.
So, yes, It does take a village,
but in our society, the brunt of it falls on a mom,
