Just A Mom Huffpost Life If what we do most of the day is parenting, then it is easier for us to dismiss the rest and tell ourselves "i'm just a mom." when i stop and think about it, many of my "mostly mom" friends have side projects. Stacey wright discusses what to know if your mental health is struggling because you feel like you are "just a mom.".
Just A Mom Huffpost Life A real, working mother tells her story of how she came to be proud to be "just a mom". this story is heart warming, and sure to speak to any mother's soul. Am i 'just' a mom? i don't mean to brag, but i do so many things. things that are relevant. and important. and valuable. and invisible. I'm just a mom who continually questions herself every single day, second guessing every decision and rethinking every move she's made. i'm just a mom who is no stranger to hard work, pure exhaustion, and reoccurring disappointments despite her best efforts. At first, when my mother said, “you’re going to get through this,” i thought she was just talking about my challenges raising a troubled teen. after she died, i realized she also meant i was going to get through losing a mother and all the other struggles that come with being human.

I bet you're just a mom too. maybe a working mom. or perhaps a stay at home mom. but your story reads like a beautiful novel filled with highs, lows and the everyday life moments. and it's your story that teaches your children, it guides them and helps them grow. I believe that for some women, the need to be more than just a mom is necessary to be the best mom they can be. and as a mother of sons, i want my boys to learn that it’s hard to be a good mom if i don’t also feel like a strong woman, too. I am trying to be ok, for now, with just being a mom. unbeknownst to anyone, i am actually trying to be a better mom. i am wondering if that make me less of a person. i sometimes think it does. i am thinking of writing about that. As a huffington post backstage blogger, after 3 years of writing online i finally had an article i wrote go viral. sharing some lessons that i learned.
