From one single mama to another.

Hey mama,
with no other adult in the home, No one else to do a few dishes, To rotate the laundry, To sweep up the Cheerios or wipe up the smooshed raspberries or vacuum the crunched up crackers.

Hey mama,
with no one to share the heavy burden of your kids emotional weight, their mental load, their worries and struggles.

Hey mama,
with no one to tap you out for even 5-7 minutes so you can take a deep breath,
carrying the responsibility to cover all the bills, put warm & healthyISH food on the table. To clothe your babes, wash your babes, cut their hair & trim their nails, and do all the things without another Adult in the house to lean into…

 

I see you. I am you. Go easy on you.

When your irritability radar is over the edge, your tolerance threshold is tapped out, set down all the to-do’s and get on the floor with your babes. Look in their eyes & invite them to color, to play a game, to read.

I see you. I am you. Go easy on you.

Love, Natalie
