Sometimes it really sucks being a mom.

Yep, I said it, and anyone with a three year old will tell you the same thing. But sometimes they sit next to me and quietly play, without screaming, without fighting me, without begging for anything, just being children. Sometimes they hug me and kiss me for no reason other than because they love me. That’s when motherhood is beautiful and I remember why I love my life so much. That’s when all the suckiness melts away and gives me positive experiences to draw upon when things aren’t calm, quiet, and beautiful.

When it sucks being a mom, remember the beauty of being a mother. It will help pull you through.
