5 Whoppers I’m Grateful My Mom Shared with Me

Hey friend, you know how moms can sometimes spin a little yarn? I always took my mom’s words at face value, trusting her to be honest with me during challenging times. But as I’ve stepped into motherhood myself, I’ve come to realize that she dropped a few “white lies” along the way. Now, with a lively toddler and another baby on the way, I find myself telling those same little fibs. Here are five of those gems I’m thankful she shared.

1. You’ve Got This, Sweetheart.

When I was wobbling on that bike without training wheels, I know my mom was probably thinking “What have you done?” But instead, she encouraged me to go for it, even when she might have wanted to run to my rescue. She believed I could handle it and that confidence made all the difference.

2. They’re Just Jealous of You.

Oh, the teenage years were tough! I spent countless hours crying over heartbreak and mean girls. But my mom always knew how to lift my spirits, telling me that the boy who dumped me was just intimidated and that the girls were envious of my talent. Did it really matter if it was true? Not at all. It helped me feel better in the moment.

3. You Look Gorgeous in That Outfit.

Maybe my mom genuinely thought I looked fabulous in my wild fashion choices, or maybe she just knew that what truly matters is how I felt in those clothes. Regardless, her words helped boost my confidence, and that’s priceless.

4. I’ll Always Be Proud of You.

Even during my not-so-glamorous phases, like partying too much or struggling in college, my mom assured me that she was proud of me no matter what. Her unwavering belief in me helped me believe in myself, too, even when I stumbled.

5. I’ll Never Leave You.

As a child, facing the uncertainties of divorce and moving, her promise felt like a comforting anchor. While I know now that some promises can’t be kept, her words gave me stability when I needed it most. The love and lessons she imparted will always stay with me, even after she’s gone.

So, while some of these might have been little fibs, they were filled with love and support that shaped who I am today.
