I saw someone post this last night and just fell in love.

This is all something we do, that we know we shouldn't, but do anyway.
Right? We see other moms with their children and we think "Should we be doing that?" or "Am I not being the best parent I can be because of..."
I am no except to this. I compare myself to other moms sometimes and it brings me nothing but misery.

Then the more I thought about it the more I realized this goes both ways- we are either comparing ourselves to other moms or we are comparing other moms to us.
I'll be totally honest, sometimes I'm talking to a fellow mom and all I ever think is "Why in the world is she complaining when she has so much help?" It would seriously drive me insane every time we talked.

Major mom flaw right there.

Who am I to try to understand the things she can handle compared to myself? Her days are worse than mine because that is all that she can handle. There are definitely things other moms go through that are harder than what I go through, but my days can be tough because that is all I can handle. That is why my life is mine and her life is hers. We are given what we can get through.

Does that make sense? I tried to reword that, but I think it is a mess of words thrown together while I try to make a point. Haha.

None of us are high and mighty, as much as we would like to think it some times.
Really, we are all just hot messes. Awesome, yes... but a hot mess. Being a mom is just hard work.

We all handle things differently and we can all take more or less than others. That is the beauty of us all, right? That we are all different.

I think this is something we need to see, understand, and stop doing. Comparing everyone.. what is the point? To be frustrated with each other? It doesn't make sense.

Instead we should all be able to look at each other and find strengths in one another and reward each other for them. And if we are struggling or know a mom that is struggling, even if it is with something we don't struggle with, we should lend helping hands and try to understand. Let one another know we are there for them and that we appreciate that they are there for us.


Mom Wars it also runs on an emotional level.

Anyway, just a little rant that has been running through my head. I hope this shed a little bit of light on everyone. And if you do this you are able to understand where I am coming from and see how bad it is that we do these things. Lets make a change, moms!
