“How could she let herself go like that?” “Wow, she really let herself go.” I’ve heard people say these words with a slow shake of their heads.⁣

We’ve all been her, a parent in a struggle feeling like she’s not enough. Like, she maybe shouldn’t be a mom.

Mommy can always fix what’s bothering a child: a lost pacifier, or a bad dream. But she doesn't have superpowers.

“What did you accomplish all day, mama?” There was no evidence of things accomplished, but you did a lot. You swear!

You don’t have a right to interject your opinion in someone’s hard. We know them as pain dismissers, and they are the worst of the worst.

And with an eye-roll, my daughter turned away. She is two, and she can roll her eyes in a complete circle like a hamster wheel.
