Carrying the mental load for your family can sometimes be harder than the daily stuff. When an option and possible, sit down with your partner and let them see the mental load you’re carrying so that they can support you with reducing the weight of it.
She is Mom
She is tired.
She is heavy.
She is worried.
She is Mom.
She is home.
She is loved.
She is grateful.
She is Mom.
There are always fingers pointing—at what matters, who matters.
But motherhood is not one thing.
It’s joy and it’s stress.
It’s the beautiful and the broken.
It’s loud laughter and silent tears.
It’s the weight and the wonder.
To say it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not full of love.
To say it’s beautiful doesn’t erase the ache.
It is all of it, all at once.
And none of that takes away from being a mom—
Or from the hard anyone else carries.
It just means:
She is human.
She is holding it all.
She is Mom.
