To All the Moms from a Childless Woman: Your Strength is Unmatched

I may not have a clue about the dietary preferences of a 2-year-old or what a standard bedtime routine entails. I can only imagine what it’s like to hear “Mom!” shouted 99 times in an hour or to feel a small hand tightly clutching mine. I don’t know the joy of having colorful drawings on my fridge or the magic of reading bedtime stories to a curious little mind.

I can’t fathom the anxiety that comes with letting your child venture out into the world, worried that something frightening might happen. I’ve never had to shield a child from the harsh realities of life or wipe away their tears after a tough day. The struggle of balancing soccer practices, mealtimes, laundry, doctor visits, and work? That’s a mystery to me. I don’t know what it’s like to survive on just two hours of sleep because of imaginary monsters lurking under the bed. I haven’t had to tackle tough questions about Santa Claus or teach a 5-year-old the importance of kindness.

As a woman without children, I may lack firsthand experience in motherhood, but let me tell you this: I have the utmost admiration for all of you mothers out there.

I see how you speak about your children with a depth of love that shines even on the hardest days. Your faces light up when you recount their achievements or funny antics. I notice the concern etched on your features as you strive to be the best parent you can be, hoping you’re making the right choices and that everything will turn out alright.

Your unwavering love for your kids and your commitment to being a good parent is nothing short of inspiring.

So many of you wrestle with feelings of judgment, worrying that you’re not measuring up. Social media can amplify that fear, with the dreaded mom-shaming lurking around every corner, making you feel like everyone is scrutinizing your parenting. Sometimes, it seems like the world is just waiting to pounce on your mistakes.

But as a childless woman, I can honestly say that I feel nothing but respect for my friends who are mothers. When you share your parenting stories—whether they’re triumphs or hilarious blunders—I’m not judging. I’m in awe of how you manage to do it all with grace, humor, and a smile.

While I may not share your experiences, I genuinely admire you for everything you do. You might focus on the missteps and challenges, but from where I stand, I see strong women nurturing loving families. I see you shaping the future, one tiny hand at a time, and you’re doing an incredible job.
