Am I the Only One? A Real Mom’s Struggle

Every week, my kids and I make the rounds—swimming lessons, story time, the playground—you name it. And I show up looking like I just rolled out of bed, my 7-month-old strapped to my hip, a couple of bulging bags swinging from my arms, and my 3-year-old clutching the hem of my worn-out dress.

No matter how much stuff I lug around, I somehow never have what I truly need. I watch other moms breeze in with their perfectly organized diaper bags, hair perfectly styled, and kids looking like they just stepped out of a magazine. They hand their little ones sippy cups filled with actual juice, and I can’t help but feel a mix of jealousy and admiration. Am I the only one struggling here?

Is it just me who can’t keep up with body hair? I barely manage to squeeze in a shower, let alone a proper shave. Forget about keeping that pesky mole hair in check!

Am I alone in having to sneak in quick moments of intimacy in the living room while our little one naps in our bed? We’ve just moved into a bigger place, so fingers crossed that will change soon.

And let’s talk about feet—seriously, mine look like they belong to a caveman. My heels are cracked and peeling, and I’m terrified to snuggle up to my husband during “sexy time” for fear of slicing him with my rough feet. I’ve just started putting lotion on again, which feels like a huge win for self-care. The rest can wait, I guess.

Am I the only one who apologizes to anyone who dares to get in my car? It’s a disaster zone! It takes me three trips to load everything I need, but when it’s time to leave, I just grab the kids and rush them to bed, leaving behind wrappers, coffee mugs, toys, and once, a dirty diaper that got a little too cozy in the heat.

Is it just me who leaves toys strewn across the floor? I mean, they’ll just end up there again as soon as the kids wake up anyway.

Has anyone else ditched jewelry and nail polish? My jewelry gets yanked on, and I don’t want my earrings tearing through my lobes, and as for nail polish, who has the time to put it on, let alone remove it when it chips?

Am I alone in leaving the house without the essential mom gear? If my baby has a blowout, I might just have to beg you for a spare diaper or wipe. Don’t even get me started on my diaper bag—it’s a black hole of useless stuff. I typically remember my 3-year-old’s thirst only after we’ve left the neighborhood and he pipes up from the backseat, “I’m thirsty!”

And let’s not forget that sinking feeling of wondering if I left the oven or stove on after leaving home. I often ask myself if my husband would be shocked if I accidentally burned the house down. Just the other day, I turned around halfway to the store to double-check.

Am I the only one who feels like a hot mess most of the time? I’m really trying to get my act together—maybe I need a life coach or perhaps just some inspiration from Pinterest.
