The same heartfelt message has been circulating for years, reminding us all that we’re doing our best as parents—because let’s face it, we all need that reassurance sometimes. This viral post keeps popping up, and its message resonates with mothers everywhere. The origin of the post remains a mystery, but its impact is undeniable.
The latest wave of shares came from mom Jennifer Brooks on Facebook, and it quickly gained traction once again, racking up over 70,000 shares. “I saw it in my memories from last year and thought it was time to share it again,” Brooks told Home Insemination Kit. “I probably stumbled upon it on Pinterest or something and didn’t know who wrote it.”
Tracing it back, we find this gem originally posted in 2013 by the blog Beautifully BellaFaith, which attributed it to the parenting group “Team Toddler.” It has since appeared on various blogs, often credited to “unknown.”
Here’s the heartfelt message we all need to hear:
- To the mom who’s breastfeeding: Kudos! It’s an incredible gift to give your baby, no matter how long you can manage it! You’re a great mom.
- To the mom who’s formula feeding: Isn’t it amazing what science can do? It’s a relief to know that mothers who struggle with production have options. You’re a fantastic mom.
- To the cloth-diapering mom: Those fluffy bums are the cutest and great for the wallet too! You’re a wonderful mom.
- To the disposable diapering mom: Wow, those things can hold a lot! Not having to worry about leaks or laundry is a win. You’re a terrific mom.
- To the stay-at-home mom: Juggling everything isn’t easy, but cherishing those early years with your little ones is priceless. You’re an awesome mom.
- To the working mom: Way to go for balancing your career and family! You’re setting a positive example for your kids. You’re a remarkable mom.
- To the mom who relied on drive-thru meals all week: You’re feeding your kids, and let’s be real—they probably love it! Sometimes, convenience is key to maintaining sanity. You’re a good mom.
- To the mom who prepared home-cooked meals for a week straight: Fantastic job! Teaching kids to enjoy healthy foods is invaluable for their future. You’re a great mom.
- To the mom with well-behaved kids in a fancy restaurant: Bravo! Keeping order in a public place takes skill. You’re a stellar mom.
- To the mom dealing with a toddler meltdown in the cereal aisle: They sure know how to pick the worst moments, don’t they? We’ve all been there. You’re a good mom.
And to the moms who judge others for any of the above? Remember, we all live in glass houses, my friend.
This timeless message strikes a chord with so many, reminding us that, as parents, we’re all doing our best—flaws and all. The ultimate goal is to support one another, even when we might not agree with certain choices.
