Hey there, fellow moms! Let’s be real for a second. I like to think I’m a pretty good mom. In fact, I’m a great one—mostly because I’ve set my standards somewhere near the ground. My kids are happy and healthy, and they’re doing well in school. Honestly, that’s enough for me right now!
But how do you compare? You might just be a better mom than I am if…
- You greet your kids each morning with a cheerful “Good morning, my darling,” instead of grumbling about how early it is and telling them to entertain themselves.
- Your little ones enjoy a homemade breakfast every single day, while I’m just tossing them a banana and juice in the car because we’re late.
- You can style their hair without them squirming away in distress.
- You manage to wash, dry, and fold laundry all in one day—iron it too, if that’s still a thing.
- You don’t think about your kids while working, nor stress about work when you’re with them.
- Your lunch is more than just the remnants of your kid’s meal.
- You don’t giggle at your child’s funny mispronunciations—like “boobies” for “blueberries,” which I find hilarious.
- You willingly share your chocolate stash with your kids.
- You can sit through a Disney movie without feeling the urge to check your phone or scroll through Facebook.
- Bath time is a peaceful experience, and you’ve mastered the art of washing hair without a meltdown.
- Your kid’s art supplies are well-stocked, unlike your wine rack.
- Their masterpieces are neatly organized in a binder instead of being haphazardly displayed on the fridge or tossed in the bin.
- You always have enough plastic plates for dinner, rather than resorting to Tupperware.
- Your fridge isn’t blinding you with tin foil-covered leftovers that you plan to make them eat tomorrow.
- You never skip tooth brushing, even when you’re exhausted and just want them to sleep.
- You don’t do a little victory dance when they finally fall asleep, only to rush downstairs for a glass of wine before even acknowledging your partner.
- You actually plan dinner ahead of time instead of scrambling to create something out of the freezer mystery from the morning.
- The potatoes in your kitchen are still fresh, and your peeler is in working order.
- You set a timer for cooking instead of relying on the smell to tell you when it’s done.
- After dinner, you and your partner have an actual conversation that doesn’t go like this: “How was your day?” “Fine, thanks. Yours?” “Good, I’m off to bed.” “Me too.”
See? You’re doing a fantastic job too!
