I’m a mom of five beautiful daughters and I love being a mom to my very core. But I am afraid to admit that I have whispered those horrible words in a very sarcastic and sardonic tone to my children. i’ve said something along the lines of “if you wanna have nice things don’t have children.” This makes me feel sick knowing that I what I meant as dark humor could be taken as a serious line of advice. What I should’ve said was “kids are messy.” Because that’s really the truth. But the messiness of raising kids is what humbles me and makes me a better person and teaches me so many Lessons. Being a Mom has been my greatest work and what I am most proud of. Thank you for the beautiful reminder to be more careful Of the words I use.
