The effort you’re giving into this whole parenthood thing is not any less than the effort I’m giving. Are my logistics sometimes a little trickier than yours? Sure. Maybe. I spend money on childcare and weekly dates night to cope, to be honest. But, you have lost just as much sleep as me. You’ve probably skipped just as many showers as I have. And I bet you also locked yourself in the bathroom when you actually haven’t needed to go to the bathroom. Just because I have more kids than you do, or had 3 at one time, I do not have a harder job than yours. The effort you give to raising your wee ones isn’t less than mine. We are BOTH doing the best we can with the tools we’ve been given. The best we can with the tools we have. I want you to remember that when you see my Instagram feed, or someone else’s post about their blissful vacation where as far as you can tell, nothing went wrong. Stop comparing. Staaahhp. Are you doing your best? Because on some days, your very best will be getting out of bed and getting dressed! Maybe some days your best is that day trip with all 3 kids to the museum you’ve told them about for months now! You get credit for all of it.
