STOP

Tales From A Twin Mom:
4 Things Mothers Of Multiples
Need To Stop RIGHT NOW!

 

It’s the beginning of a new year. Many take this opportunity to start fresh. We tell ourselves that we need to kick bad habits, and improve both ourselves and our ways. I’ve always been weary of this, but like every other person out there, I make my list and dive right in. What I have discovered is that the things that I put on my list-beyond the usual “healthy me, exercise more” fallacies are the ones that actually make it to the end of the year.

As mothers, we need to make an effort to stop doing at least one of these things. Why? It’s simple. If we continue doing these things we will poison our minds, and thus, ourselves. So what could possibly be on my list? Read and find out. When you’re done, let me know what I missed. I learn as much from all of you as you hopefully learn from me!

Stop right there. Just stop. You have no idea if the life that Ms. HasItAllTogether is even real! If you've based your opinion on social media, I have an eye opener for you: people only post the good moments. Social media is a sea of lies and manipulation. Do you have any idea how many times I have posted “Loving my kiddos right now!” when I actually meant “Kids decided to make me a mural with permanent markers in the hallway. I might run away and never come back.”

I know it's hard to not compare your life to others, or wonder how everyone else can juggle life with multiples so easily, but I assure you that someone is wondering the same thing about you.
