Spot on! 💪🏻 Tú ert ein góð mamma!
“To the mom who's breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a good mom.
To the mom who's formula feeding: Isn't science amazing? To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough would suffer...but now? Better living through chemistry! You're a good mom.
To the cloth diapering mom: Fluffy bums are the cutest, and so friendly on the bank account. You're a good mom.
To the disposable diapering mum: Damn, those things hold a lot, and it's excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry! You're a good mom.
To the mom who stays home: I can imagine it isn't easy doing what you do, but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing. You're a good mom.
To the mom who works: It's wonderful that you're sticking to your career...you're a positive role model for your children in so many ways...it's fantastic. You're a good mom.
To the mom who had to feed her kids from the drive thru all week because you're too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping: You're feeding your kid! And hey, I bet they aren't complaining! Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in a red box with a big yellow M and a cheap plastic toy in it. You're a good mom.
To the mom who gave her kids a home-cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the past week: Excellent! Good nutrition is important, and they're learning to enjoy healthy foods at an early age, a boon for the rest of their lives. You're a good mom.
To the mom with the kids who are sitting quietly and using their manners in the fancy restaurant: Kudos! It takes a lot to maintain order with children in a place where they can't run around. You're a good mom.
To the mom with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle: They always seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds, don't they? We've all been through it. You're a good mom.
To the mom who gave birth “naturally,” sans drugs: Holy cow, woman...you are a rock star! I’m positive that giving birth to your sweet baby was an experience you will never forget. Good for you. You’re a good mom.
To the mom who begged until she got her epidural: Ain’t drugs grand? I’m positive that giving birth to your sweet baby was an experience you will never forget. Good for you. You’re a good mom.
To the mom who had a C-Section: Ouch! Those stitches are no joke, Mama! I’m positive that giving birth to your sweet baby was an experience you will never forget. Good for you. You’re a good mom.
To the mom who’s babies were born in your heart, but came from another woman’s womb: The journey of fostering and/or adoption is arduous, nerve wracking, and sometimes heartbreaking, so thank you for CHOOSING to follow this twisty path into motherhood. How lucky are your kids to have you?! You’re a good mom.
To the moms who judge other moms for ANY of the above? Glass houses, friend. Glass houses.”
Being a Mom is the most difficult and most important role any woman will ever have, and she will constantly be questioning whether or not she’s “doing it right.” It’s a lot of work and a lot of pressure, so let’s all extend grace to others and accept grace for ourselves. Let us vow only to step into another mother’s story in order to support and encourage her, not criticize her.
