When You’re Feeling Like a Terrible Mom, Keep This in Mind

Hey there, Mama. I see you wrestling with those thoughts, chastising yourself and questioning your worth. You might be thinking, “I’m such a bad mom. I’m failing my kids.” You lost your cool and raised your voice at your daughter. You snapped and gave your son a timeout. Maybe you let the TV play all day just to catch a breather or finish up chores. You may have even handed your kiddo a dinner of chicken nuggets, ice cream, and whatever else you could scrounge up.

I get it. You think you’re the worst.

But here’s the kicker: if you were truly a terrible mom, you wouldn’t even care. You wouldn’t fret over your child’s nutrition, worry about their education, or feel guilty about not being perfect. You wouldn’t be crying in the bathroom while your little one plays in the other room. You wouldn’t feel the gnawing guilt or keep apologizing for every little misstep.

Let’s face it, your feelings show that you’re a loving parent. They reflect how deeply you care for your child and your desire to see them thrive.

So, the next time you’re feeling low, remember this: a few cartoons or a less-than-perfect meal won’t ruin your kid. Mistakes? They happen to every mom, and they’re not the end of the world. They’re opportunities to learn and grow—for both you and your children. Each misstep can strengthen your bond and help you evolve into a better woman, partner, friend, and mom.

You are doing enough, and despite any perceived failures, you are a great mom.

In summary, being a mom isn’t about perfection; it’s about love. Embrace your journey, mistakes included, and remember—you’re enough just as you are.
