Embracing Motherhood's Challenges

Truth. Mom life is hard. Homeschool mom life is hard. This is my hard now. All life is hard.😔 Don’t compare. The happy post I was putting up Seemed insincere when reality was Yelling… And ugly words… And tears… And harm… And hatred. Often, I avoid sharing ugly in this space. It feels like a betrayal of sorts. 🔹To my kids - to show their sinner selfs. 🔹To myself - to admit I’m not perfect. 🔹To tell that life isn’t all magic and fairy tale… But we need to know that we aren’t alone. 👉You need to know that you’re not alone. When everyone else has Water color paintings… Family game gathering… Peaceful storybook time… Cute matchy matchy happy kids… I still here in the real. And it’s not all happy go-lucky. Honestly, we haven’t done morning time much this year. I’ve been lazy. 🔹Bible reading seems wrong when there’s been yelling and hatred seconds ago. 🔹It’s hard to want to cuddle up to read a book when you want to hide. 🔹Family games don’t happen when it’s easier to push them aside. When I saying these truths, I get “I’m sorry” or “It’ll be better”. I’m not posting this for sympathy. 👉It’s a privilege and blessing to be able to stay home with the kids. Just know you aren’t alone. And if you need an ear, Reach out. ❤️Bobbie . . . 📸To remind me that deep inside… They do love. May 2021 .
