Comments on: Don’t Tell Me I’m Strong… What To Say to a Mom Struggling https://mommyevolution.com/dont-tell-me-im-strong/ Mom Smarter!

You put my feelings into words. I also don’t like hearing “I don’t know how you do it” There is no choice. I love all my children and while the older ones feel my youngest is “spoiled ” I have to find ways for all of us to make it through the week, day, hour.

If that doesn’t sum up my ENTIRE life as a mother I don’t know what does. Thank you. Sometimes we just need to know we’re not the only ones out there, eating ice cream out of the carton alone at 3 am!

I actually just took a picture of the screen to remind myself good things to say to my friend. Thanks!

Oh my goodness you are welcome! So often we feel these things but aren’t able to connect with other parents having our same experience.

I have raised a child just like that…alone. She is now attending college and we attempt to take on a new set of hurdles. As she says, I am her “Rock”… the best feeling in the world! There are many of us out here that feel what you are going through. Never be afraid to ask for help!

When I am being told I’m over-reacting to my child’s behavior, when I’m told I fight the wrong battles and need to just let go, when I’m told I’m causing more issues than I need to by picking certain fights and not others. When I am trying to be all things to everyone and nothing left for myself. I needed to read this. THANK YOU for these words <3 <3 <3

Thank you, Christine. And a terrific way of putting it. Folks want to show they care but often end up saying something inane or unhelpful.
