Moms can:

• adore their children and still complain.

• appreciate spending time with their kids and still want a break.

• be proud of their role as “mom” and still pursue their individual goals.

• love what they do and still get exhausted doing it every single day.

• be thankful they are parents and still not enjoy every moment.

Parenting is hard.

It’s amazing. It’s a privilege. It’s truly a gift.

But. It. Is. Hard.

Sometimes we need to vent and joke and spend time alone and bond with our girlfriends.

And, that’s ok.

Because, the fact is, we can do all these things and still be grateful.
