People like to judge how you carry yourself. In my case, people like to go out of their way just to tell me my hands are full. Why does it seem like people just have to tell me the obvious?
Time and time again, I am always running. Always doing, always giving, and you know what, people never see that. They just see how you carry your load, how you conduct your children, how you act. No one ever sees how much of a load you have, how long you’ve been running, how overwhelming the day has been. No one really cares to see how tired you are.
People expect to dedicate a day to us, and that makes it ok. Nowadays, a lot of people are speaking out on social media about how a mother feels, what a mother takes on, but people don’t fully take it seriously. A lot of it is content and honestly that crap does nothing for me. I still encounter people who have to make it their business to tell me my hands are full. I still encounter people who have to try my patience. I am sick of it. People clocking me, reminding me how many kids I have, like I can’t count.
People will never know what to say, even if you put it on a t-shirt (trust me, I have the shirt and no one ever read what to say to me).
I’m just tired. Stop clocking mothers, stop comparing us, stop looking down at us like we can’t do crap. And yes, I am including other mothers who think they got it together and have the nerve to look down on other mothers.
I am just tired. The best advice I can give to society is…LEAVE US ALONE.
We have more bad days than good, way more don’t care days than we can count. However, we WILL always get the job done at the end of the day. I will leave you with this: leave us the hell alone because we are all tired!
Love you lots, from one tired mother to another,
