Some days, the hardest part of motherhood is simply getting up.

When all you want to do is sit on the couch, switch off and do absolutely nothing. But there's a little person beside you who needs you.

You don't want them watching TV all day, but sometimes that hour of screen time is the only chance you get to breathe. And that's okay.

Then comes the mum guilt. The feeling that you should be doing more, playing more, making memories, being more present.

But nobody really talks about how much patience it takes to be a mum when you're mentally and physically exhausted.

How much effort it takes to get yourself off that couch, think of something to do and show up with a smile when you don't even feel like talking.

Some days you're the fun mum, making up games and laughing on the floor. Other days you're just trying to make it to bedtime.

Both versions of you are still a good mum.

Because motherhood isn't about making every day magical. Sometimes it's just about being there, even when you've got nothing left. 🤍

Please tell me I'm not the only mum who feels like this sometimes.
