Moms are a force to be reckoned with. Whether they’re racing through the grocery store in under 20 minutes or managing a tantrum in public, they tackle challenges like true warriors. I approach everything like a mother, and I embrace that wholeheartedly.
I speak my mind like a mother, loud and unapologetic. I want my voice to be heard, discussing important issues like politics, bullying, and women’s rights. Mothers aren’t meant to be silenced or dismissed as “just moms.” The mothers I know have powerful voices, and they certainly know how to use them.
I throw with the strength of a mother. After carrying three little ones around—sometimes two at once—I’ve scaled poolside while pregnant just to save my toddler from sinking. I’ve juggled grocery bags while maneuvering a stroller, proving that mothers are some of the strongest people out there.
I dress like a mother. Heels? Yes, please! I can conquer public restrooms in them with ease. Yoga pants? Worn whenever I feel like it. My favorite Adidas T-shirt? Worn proudly from day to night. I love the way I feel in a cute dress, but I also feel amazing in my activewear. Mothers have their unique styles and strut into any room without apologies.
I do my hair like a mother too. Sometimes it’s in a messy bun because life is busy. Other times, I indulge in a bit of pampering because it makes me feel good. Anything that boosts a mother’s confidence is worth it, no exceptions.
I swear like a mother. I drop F-bombs when it feels right, and my kids know that certain words are off-limits until they’re older. What I won’t tolerate are hateful words like ugly, stupid, or can’t.
I enjoy my caffeine like a mother. It’s how I kickstart my day, and I won’t apologize for it. Without my morning coffee, I’m a bit grumpy. I also enjoy a glass of wine at night, sometimes shared with fellow moms or alone while binge-watching reality TV. It’s a little pleasure that helps me unwind.
I love fiercely like a mother. My children ignite a fire within me that will never fade. Motherhood transforms a woman’s heart, making love feel indescribably deep.
I clean like a mother too. There are days my house sparkles, and I revel in that brief moment of cleanliness. Other times, I’m too busy living life to care about the mess. Sometimes, stains drive me mad, and I scrub them immediately, while on other days, I’m oblivious to them. I’ve done yoga on a floor covered in dust and debris, only to rage-clean afterward. I can also lay on the floor playing with my kids without noticing a single speck of dirt.
So when someone says, “You do that like a mother,” I proudly respond, yes, yes I absolutely do. Mothers take ownership of their roles. We are proud, vocal, and savor the little joys like coffee, wine, and a good hairdresser. We dress how we please and navigate our lives on our own terms. And when challenges arise, we know exactly how to handle them. Like a mother.
