Let’s be honest: parents don’t get time off. There are no sick days or vacation hours in our playbook. We definitely don’t enjoy sleeping in on holidays or weekends. Being a parent means we’re on the clock every single moment of the day. Sure, we signed up for this adventure when we brought our little ones into the world. But knowing what you’re in for doesn’t make the daily grind any less challenging.
Yet, there’s a mantra that every parent should carry with them: “Parents know how to rally.” When the going gets tough, there’s no option to throw in the towel. We can’t just call a timeout when the storm hits. Instead, we press on, parenting and loving fiercely. We rally.
That baby who only gave us five minutes of sleep before we need to be at a meeting? We rally. Battling a splitting headache while wrangling twin toddlers and no babysitter? We rally. Just had a fight with your best friend but your seventh grader has a science project due tomorrow? We rally. Company’s on the way and your kid decides to break his arm just 30 minutes before they arrive? We rally.
Got a big presentation at work, and then your child decides to throw up on you at 2 a.m.? We rally. Struggling with mastitis while your older kids want to cuddle all day? Yup, we rally. Burned dinner while on the phone with a bill collector, and your daughter refuses to eat anything else? We rally. Your partner is away, and your son reveals he’s being bullied, leaving you to mend his heart alone? We rally.
Your daughter finds out she didn’t get into her top college on the same day your purse is stolen? We rally. The soccer game gets interrupted by a sudden downpour and you locked the keys in your car? We rally. Spent all night tidying up only to wake up to a cereal and milk explosion courtesy of your 3-year-old? We rally. All you want is some peace and quiet, but your kid is buzzing about Minecraft like it’s the most important thing in the universe? We rally.
Finally, you’re about to enjoy a rare date night when your little black dress gets covered in makeup because your daughter decided to play fashionista? You guessed it—we rally. We do this because we love our kids, and they deserve every bit of our effort. We’re shaping them to become the hardworking, devoted parents of the future.
With minimal sleep, energy, and personal time, it’s a miracle we manage to keep up with our kids. But we do it, day after day. We push through. We fight. We love. We absolutely rally.
