Hey there, fellow moms! Isn’t it wild how our kids get to earn all these badges while we’re busy holding it all together? My friend Jenna’s daughter is in Brownies, learning new skills and collecting those cute little patches to flaunt on her vest. Meanwhile, I can’t help but think, where’s our recognition for everything we do?

We absolutely deserve some badges of our own! (And if we could get a parade to celebrate our achievements, that would be fantastic—although it might get a bit chaotic with all the moms of moms in attendance, right?) Anyway, here are ten badges I think we should totally be earning:

  1. The DNA Survivor Badge
    Let’s face it: whether it’s dodging a pee stream during a diaper change or catching vomit with our bare hands in the car, we’ve faced it all. We deserve a medal for enduring every bodily fluid our kids throw our way!
  2. The Midnight Brownie Maker Badge
    After a long day of work, navigating traffic, and handling dinner complaints, you finally sit down only to realize you need to whip up brownies for the bake sale tomorrow. It’s a wonder we don’t collapse from exhaustion!
  3. The No Sleep Marathon Badge
    If you’ve been a mom for over a decade, you probably haven’t slept through the night since your first pregnancy. It’s amazing we can even string together coherent thoughts, let alone keep our little ones on track!
  4. The Multitasker Badge
    Juggling a conference call while building a Lego masterpiece and calming a fussy baby? Totally doable! Just another day in the life of a mom, right?
  5. The Permanent Chauffeur Badge
    Your car has transformed into a personal taxi service for your kids. Between school drop-offs and pickups, it feels like you’ll be on this ride forever. Spoiler: they never tip!
  6. The Momager Badge
    Forget the celebrity moms—we’re the real managers. We schedule playdates, deal with allergy waivers, and network with other caregivers on behalf of our kids. A little cut of that action would be nice!
  7. The Endless Board Game Badge
    If you’ve ever played “Sorry!” for what feels like eternity, you know the struggle is real. We deserve an award for enduring these marathon games for the sake of our kids’ happiness.
  8. The Laundry Warrior Badge
    Do I even need to elaborate on this one? Laundry is a never-ending battle that we fight daily.
  9. The Second-fold Laundry Badge
    For all the times you’ve folded clothes, only to find them in a mess again because your kids can’t find their favorite shirt. Yeah, we deserve a badge for that too!
  10. The Stiff Upper Lip Badge
    This one is for those heart-stopping moments: from the ER stitches to letting your kid walk to school alone for the first time. Motherhood takes a strength we never knew we had, and that deserves recognition.

So there you have it! We may not wear a vest, but we sure should collect some badges for our incredible feats of motherhood.
