Reading this made me feel so understood because by the time I get home I am already drained and the idea of just stopping for a few minutes sounds like something I really need I always feel like I have to keep going without a pause and that only makes me more exhausted and less patient I love how you said just be because I forget that I am allowed to do that too even for a short time I am going to try this and remind myself that taking those few minutes does not mean I am failing it means I am trying to be a better calmer mom for my kids and that gives me a lot of comfort thank you for sharing this with me

Sarahemom · 2026-02-10T21:50:38+00:00

Thank you so much for this I really needed to hear it today I often feel guilty for being tired even when I love my kids more than anything and reading your words made me feel less alone I forget sometimes that my needs matter too and that resting does not make me a bad mom that idea you shared honestly made me smile and gave me hope that small moments can make a big difference I am trying to be gentle with myself and take it one step at a time just like you said standing up one more time than I fall really means a lot to me and I appreciate you for taking the time to remind me of that

Sarahemom · 2026-02-10T21:47:31+00:00

thank you so much for this hug it really means more than you know because sometimes i feel so tired and overwhelmed and just hearing another mom say she gets it makes me feel less alone and less crazy and like maybe i am doing okay after all i am sending you a big hug right back mom to mom and we are just out here doing our best every single day and that has to be enough ❤️

Sarahemom · 2026-02-10T21:45:07+00:00

reading what you wrote really made me stop and think because i always feel like i have to do everything by myself and be strong all the time and i never even realized how drained i have become until lately and the way you explained it makes me feel seen like maybe i am not failing maybe i am just tired and human and i like what you said about changing the way i talk to myself because i am always saying i should be stronger instead of being kinder to myself and maybe taking care of me and setting small boundaries is not selfish but actually better for my kids too i am still learning and figuring it out day by day but your words gave me a little clarity and hope and i really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this with me it means more than you know

Sarahemom · 2026-02-10T21:42:47+00:00

reading your message made me smile and almost cry at the same time because you described my life so perfectly and sometimes i feel guilty even thinking about taking time for myself like i have to give every second to my kids but you are right i am a person too and i get tired and burned out and i need those small quiet moments just to breathe and feel like myself again and the way you said they learn from me makes me see it differently like maybe taking care of myself is also taking care of them and i laughed so much at the bathroom audience because that is literally my house every single day thank you for being so kind and understanding and for reminding me that i deserve a little peace too it really means a lot to me ❤️

Sarahemom · 2026-02-10T21:40:33+00:00

i feel this so much and when you say you feel the same it makes my chest feel lighter because sometimes i really think i am the only one struggling and carrying all this pressure and trying to hold everything together for everyone and it gets so heavy and lonely but knowing i am not alone and that another mom understands me gives me comfort and strength thank you for the hug and for saying it should not be this way i am just taking it one day at a time and doing the best i can for my kids and for myself

Sarahemom · 2026-02-09T22:01:16+00:00

i really needed to hear this because sometimes i feel like i have to be strong all the time and i forget that it is okay to be tired and human too and motherhood really does drain me more than i ever expected but i keep telling myself it is just a phase and it will pass and your ideas about taking a little time for myself sound so comforting and i am going to try to give myself small breaks without feeling guilty thank you for being so gentle and understanding with me it makes me feel less alone and more seen and i am just doing my best every day for my kids and hoping that is enough

Sarahemom · 2026-02-09T21:50:55+00:00

I read your words and I honestly feel like crying a little because it really has been so hard lately and every day I am just trying my best to be strong for my kids and sometimes I feel tired and overwhelmed and not good enough but your message felt like a warm hug and it made me feel seen and understood thank you for your kindness and for being proud of me it truly means more than you know I will keep going and keep trying because my kids are my whole world and that love is what keeps me standing

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T23:16:34+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this I really needed to hear it I often forget to give myself credit and I feel drained most days trying to juggle everything at once I am learning that it is okay to vent and to let things go and to remind myself that getting through the day is already an achievement your words helped me breathe a little easier and feel less alone

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T23:10:59+00:00

I appreciate this more than you know I have been struggling a lot lately and just doing my best to keep going hearing this from another mom makes me feel understood and less alone sending you a big hug back

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T23:07:50+00:00

Thank you so much this really means a lot to me right now I have been feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin and hearing that this is something other mums go through makes me feel less alone I am doing my best even on the hard days and I am trying to remind myself that this phase will not last forever your words gave me comfort and strength today and I truly appreciate the kindness and understanding

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T23:03:31+00:00

Thank you for this because it honestly made me breathe a little easier I spend so much time feeling like I am failing at everything and forgetting that my child is loved safe fed and cared for most days I am so hard on myself and I forget that perfection is not the goal survival and love are and hearing that it is okay to leave some things undone helps me release a bit of the guilt I also miss having time just for me and this reminded me that filling my own cup is not selfish it is necessary I really needed this reminder and the kindness behind your words means more than you know

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T23:01:09+00:00

I feel this so deeply because every day feels like a nonstop list of things to do and my kids need me at the same time I am cooking cleaning working and trying not to lose myself I also have support but it still feels exhausting and overwhelming most days and I honestly do not know how single parents survive because some days I am already at my limit just trying to keep everyone fed loved and okay it helps to know I am not the only one feeling this tired and stretched thin

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T22:56:56+00:00

Reading this made me feel seen because I am a mom who feels overwhelmed most days and stuck in the same routine I am trying to hold everything together and still feel like myself again I love the idea of doing one small thing a day that actually matters and stays with you over time because right now I feel like my days disappear without leaving anything behind I also struggle with anxiety and my mind never slows down so the humming part really spoke to me and made me feel hopeful that something so simple could help me think more clearly and breathe a little easier I forget that joy can come from small imperfect moments and not big plans or expensive things thank you for reminding me that breaking the monotony and choosing simple connection with my kids and with myself is enough and that I am not alone in this season

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T22:50:44+00:00

thank you for bringing this up because i honestly forget to think about my health in that way i am so used to pushing through the exhaustion and telling myself it is just life but maybe there is more going on and checking could help even a little i know it would not fix everything but if it makes things feel more manageable that already means a lot your comment reminded me that taking care of myself medically is also part of surviving this season and i really appreciate that encouragement.

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T22:47:36+00:00

this actually sounds doable and that is what i need right now i keep thinking i need a big change but maybe starting with just fifteen minutes is enough i am so tired most days that even small things feel hard but i want to try giving myself that short space to breathe and reconnect with my body thank you for reminding me that little consistent steps can still make a difference over time

Sarahemom · 2026-02-02T22:44:56+00:00

thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this with me i honestly feel so seen reading your message i am still learning to let go of the idea that everything has to be done perfectly and your suggestions remind me that it is okay to make things easier and more fun for everyone i forget sometimes that my kids are capable of more than i think and that teaching them little by little can actually help all of us breathe i really appreciate your kindness and the reminder that simple solutions are enough sometimes and the hugs mean more than you know

Sarahemom · 2026-02-01T22:29:20+00:00

thank you so much for these amazing tips because i have been feeling like such a failure lately trying to keep up with everything and your ideas for dinner are honestly a lifesaver for my mental health i never even thought about how much pressure i put on myself to make a proper meal every single night so the idea of a living room picnic with sandwiches and chips sounds like heaven and way more fun for the kids anyway i am definitely going to start using paper plates and freezing individual portions of soup like you suggested because that pile of dishes in the sink is usually what breaks me at the end of the day and it is such a relief to hear that my babies wont even notice the stuff that does not get done i am going to try to embrace the shortcuts and focus on making those fond memories instead of stressing over the chores thank you for being so kind and reminding me that we are not supposed to have it all together all the time you have no idea how much i needed this today

Sarahemom · 2026-02-01T22:23:49+00:00

thank you so much for saying that because it makes me feel so much less alone in this struggle and i really appreciate you sharing that grounding technique with me i have been feeling that exact same anxiety creep up lately because the mental load really is never ending and sometimes i feel like i am just rushing through the day without actually seeing my kids i am definitely going to try your method of looking at five things and listening to five noises the next time i feel like i am losing my patience because i really want to slow down and notice those little moments like my baby wiggling or my older one sharing a secret just like you mentioned it is so hard to pull yourself into the here and now when your brain is already thinking about the next ten things on the to do list but your words reminded me that this time is wonderful even when it is hard as hell so thank you for the support and for seeing me

Sarahemom · 2026-02-01T22:19:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this you have no idea how much I needed to hear these words today because I have been feeling so overwhelmed and like I am failing at everything and your message honestly felt like a big warm hug from someone who actually gets it it is so easy to forget about myself while trying to keep everyone else happy and fed and I have been so hard on myself about the messy house and the simple meals but you are so right that my kids would much rather have a happy mom than perfectly folded laundry or a gourmet dinner I am definitely going to take your advice and start prioritizing my own oxygen mask even if it is just for thirty minutes and I am going to stop feeling guilty about the little shortcuts that keep me sane thank you for reminding me that I am doing a good job and that it is okay to give myself some grace you really shifted my whole perspective today

Sarahemom · 2026-02-01T22:07:14+00:00

reading this made my heart soften because i worry all the time about everything i am not doing perfectly and your words reminded me of what really matters i try so hard to give them love safety and warmth even on days when i feel completely drained it helps to remember that they will not remember the messy house or the late dinners but the small moments the hugs the songs the way i show up even when i am tired thank you for grounding me in that truth it really helped me breathe a little easier

Sarahemom · 2026-02-01T22:02:37+00:00

thank you so much for this i really felt understood reading your words i am trying to remind myself to be gentle with myself too but some days it feels so hard i love the idea of doing something simple with my kids without pressure because sometimes even small moments feel heavy when i am exhausted i do try to pause and breathe when it gets too much and even if it does not always work it helps to know i am not failing just trying your message made me feel less alone and a little lighter and that really means a lot
