Nobody’s entire legacy is based on a single moment, but rather the collection of one’s experiences.
It is not your child’s job to hold space for you to fall apart. Call your therapist, your priest, your rabbi, or your best friend but don’t you dare ask your kids to carry you through a hard season.
Someone else’s opinion, or maybe your own, but either way, it is not grounded in any actual reality other than the weight you give it. So how much of your life are you living – or rather, not living – because you’ve been treating an opinion as a truth?

We can walk into the school year and remember that we’re raising our children into the adults they will become. Our valiant endeavor will take us a lifetime of effort. A single day, or even a handful of days, when you aren’t mom of the century won’t make or break your kids. It’s the intention to do well that will see them through. It’s the lessons in grace and self-care and realistic expectations, where you teach them about what you’re capable of, that will truly serve them later on.
Sister, you are stronger than this. You’ve got babies to raise and bills to pay and a life to live- and you can’t do that if you’re hiding under the covers!
