Viral Post Made By Mom In 2 Year Old's Perspective Is Everything Humanity Didn't Know They Needed
Insightful mama turned inward to explain her toddler's behavior.
I'm a mom of three. T H R E E.
That means three wild different personalities and three sets of ROARING emotions.
Every.
Day.
Life is downright hard sometimes. I like to joke with my friends using my famous line, 'Welcome to my chaos.'
Good gracious, it's honestly such a pure statement. The chaos bombs hit when they argue (HELLO SIBLING RIVALRY), when they're sick, or if one is just having a particularly rough day.
*Or when I'm having a rough day.
Because even though I'm a grown adult raising three tiny humans, I still ride the struggle bus. STILL.
But hey, that's okay.
No one has the how-to guide for life. We are all doing the best that we can with what we have. Every day is a new chance for growth, and no one gets out of this life alive anyway. So carry love in everything you do.
Kids or no kids.
Fortunately for parents, kids are the best at forgiving and teaching us lessons as long as we are willing to listen. So if you're part of the majority I'm speaking of, give grace in abundance, breathe like a bear when you're frustrated, and never forget your #1 job as a human is to be kind.

This post is powerful, and I hope it really puts things into perspective for those who don't have children and for those who do and are knee-deep in the struggle.
Everyone struggles. As an adult, even you struggle. Can you just envision the struggle for a child, if only for a moment?
Truest words.

We owe our kids at least this much.

Being a parent isn't for the faint of heart. So if you know a parent (I'm sure you do) or if you are one, give them/yourself some grace. It's imperative to our survival. Tell them they're doing a great job! I promise no one with the mom or dad title could ever hear that too much.
