This viral Facebook post gives a hug, and a high five, to ALL moms
by Carolyn Robertson posted in Parenting
Motherhood is tough enough without feeling as though we're under a microscope, assessed and judged at every turn.
That's why Ohio mom Ashle Potter has a very simple, yet powerful, message for every mother in the trenches of midnight feeds and toddler tantrums: You are a good mom.
The mom-of-two shared a moving message of support on the Love What Matters Facebook page recently, acknowledging that even though we may not all approach motherhood exactly the same way, we're all doing the best we can, and that's more than good enough.
"To the mom who's breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a good mom.
To the mom who's formula feeding: Isn't science amazing" To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough would suffer, but now" Better living through chemistry! You're a good mom."
Breastfeeding, formula feeding, cloth diapering, disposable diapering, stay-at-home, working: It's all good, ladies. No judgement here.
And, if you happened to be that mom with the screaming toddler at Target, or that mom who hit up the Happy Meals a few times this week... Ashle says she gets it.
"You're feeding your kids, and hey, I bet they aren't complaining! Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in a white bag with a big red chick on it. You're a good mom," she writes.
