Hey moms: How would you describe yourself? If you're anything like those interviewed in this clip via the Huffington Post, the odds are that you're too way hard on yourself. You spend your time beating yourself up and focusing on shortfalls, wishing you were more patient, more confident, more something...
The video was made for Mother's Day. But you know what? We all could do with more frequent reminders that we are enough. We are more than enough, and our kids give us more credit than we give ourselves. In fact, the discrepancy between how these moms see themselves versus how their kids see them is huge.
Watch, pat yourself on the back, then go give your children a bear hug. Yes, you're all that, and more. While you're at it, check out the birthday message that's guaranteed to turn your heart to goo.
Can you relate? Are you too hard on yourself as a parent?
