Feeling a Little Alone?

Sometimes, I feel a little alone. I’m having a rough day, and I wonder if other moms are struggling too.

Am I the only mom who sees broken slats on a kitchen chair and remembers the day her teenage threw it across the room in a fit of rage?

Am I the only mom who thinks she’s going to scream hysterically if her eight year old asks, “Why?” one more time?

Am I the only mom who goes to bed feeling guilty because she didn’t find time to check her high schooler’s calculus assignment (again)?

lonely homeschool mom, alone

I’ve found that moms of toddlers talk freely about temper tantrums, potty training accidents, and crayon drawings on the walls. As the toddlers become grade schoolers and middle schoolers and teenagers, moms stop talking.

Moms blog about their messy-faced toddlers, but seldom say anything about their teenage boys who need to be reminded to shower more than once a week.

Even the messiest of preschool crafts gets shared on Facebook. Rarely are there pictures of sloppy handwriting pages or math pages with more problems marked wrong than right.

Deep down, I know that I’m not the only person having rough days.

Perhaps you’re having a rough day (or a rough year). Perhaps you feel alone.

I understand. Please know that you are not the only mom that’s struggling.

    Thank you for this post. Currently I am the mother of 20 Ugandan boys (none of whom I gave birth too). I feel this exact same way almost every day. There are many times I feel like giving up and just going home. Your words have been very encouraging for this mummy who is going through this particular day having been woken up way to many times. I thank God that He has allowed this very old laptop to keep me going and that He always manages to find people like you to encourage me and keep me going.
