What Makes My Kids Cry Today

Myth:
Good moms have a clean house, patient tone, matching socks on their kids, and never forget snack day.

Reality:
This morning I reheated the same cup of coffee three times.
One child cried because I brushed their hair.
Another licked peanut butter off a sibling.
And the baby?
She’s wearing pajamas and my last ounce of emotional energy.

Am I still a good mom?
Yes.
And so are you.

🧠 Myth #1: “If You’re Overwhelmed, You’re Doing It Wrong.”

Nope.
You’re overwhelmed because you’re doing everything — loving hard, showing up, pouring out.
It’s not failure. It’s just a full heart in a tired body.

🧺 Myth #2: “Real Moms Don’t Let the Laundry Pile Up.”

I checked.
Nowhere in Scripture does it say, “Blessed is the woman whose laundry baskets are empty.”

You are not less faithful because your life is a little messy.
You’re human. And God is still meeting you in the middle of the mess.

😔 Myth #3: “Other Moms Are Doing It Better.”

Instagram is a highlight reel.
Pinterest is edited.
You? You’re doing the holy work of being present — even when you feel invisible.

The truth? There’s no such thing as a perfect mom.
There’s just you — chosen, equipped, and still growing.

💛 Final Thought:

Being a good mom doesn’t mean being everything.
It means showing up with what you have and trusting that God will fill the gap.

So today, let’s bust the myth that you have to be “together” to be enough.
You are not behind. You are not failing.
You are deep in the middle of something sacred.
