Don't Call Yourself a Failure

You know what word I hate? Failure. 😢 🛑Hate is a strong word. You don’t let your kids say it. I feel about “failure” the same way. Yet, I’ve had several friends this week tell me that they’re failing at something. They’ve failed their kids at homeschool last semester. They’ve failed at their exercise… cleaning… etc. Failed their plans they made months ago when they didn’t know how life would be right now. Don’t get me wrong. Failure happens. Things will go wrong.. often. I’m not for pansy awards for showing up. 👉However, that does not make YOU a failure. Your checklists didn’t all get checked? No one sees them but you. You didn’t clean 30 minutes every afternoon? No one in your house cares. Your kid got a B and worked his butt off? Celebrate and remember it doesn’t reflect on your mothering skills. . Give yourself grace. Find a friend who will remind you of the truth of the awesomeness that you are. We’re hardest on ourselves… and our kids. You’re awesome. Your kids are awesome. 🛑You wouldn’t tell your kid that they’re a failure. 🛑Don’t tell your kid’s mom that in the mirror. If you need someone to remind you… 👉Find me. If you have a friend who needs the reminder… 👉Send this to then. . . Ironically, I’m chatting with @wildridetravelfam Friday about mom failure… Check us out live Friday morning! .
