Being a mom means no sick days
No days off period
When a baby cries it’s a mom’s job
Being a mom means
Smile even when you want to cry
Why?
Because children are looking up to you
Being a mom means PPD isn’t real
Everyone depends on you even when your
Mentality is declining
Being a mom means loving your kids no matter what
It’s hard enough to deal with the family you’d rather not
But now you are stuck with the very person
That drains you emotionally, physically and mentally
Being a mom means times are hard
No one believes you except other moms
Being a mom has positive times too
But everyone talks about those
These are just some of the reasons we should be celebrated
Being a mom is a job not for the faint of heart
Being a mom is a JOB
One you didn’t technically apply for and one
You don’t have any experience
A job with no breaks and no vacation days
No paid overtime
No raises
Not many praises
Except one day a year
Everyone turns to you and says thanks!
So if you are blessed to have your mom in your life
Give her a hug for me
Today and tomorrow and possibly randomly next week
Give her a break if you can
Show her you love her
Because the woman that endured painful days
Painful nights
Held back tears for you
Kissed your boo boos
Wiped your butt
Helped you become the man or woman you are today
Let her know she means more than one day a year
Make her smile from ear to ear
Cuz one day she won’t be here
So mom if you’re reading this
There isn’t much that I can do to repay you
Other than
Say how much I love you
