The Things A Mother Gives Up Would Leave Most People Empty

The things a mother gives up would leave most people empty – but as mothers we hold ourselves high. We do our jobs, and we do it good! It’s never-ending hours and requirements most would rather pass on.

– No sick days

– No calling in

– No personal days

– No vacations

– No privacy

– No alone time

– No personal space

– No quitting

– No sleep

– No putting yourself first

– No stopping

Yeah, it’s a lot of no’s…

Why do you do it then, you ask?

Because. – Because, you are their mother. You gave birth to the most precious beings in your life. Because you have loved them before you knew them. Because you would give your life for them. Because the smiles and unconditional love you receive is more than any sacrifice you have ever made.

Sure, it’s hard. Yeah, it has its days when you want to give up. When you want to cry your eyes out and run away. But you made a promise to care and love for these little beings. And damn it, that’s something you take very seriously!

You are a mother, and no matter the struggles and self-doubt… You have one hell of a job, and you do it well!

Keep it up Queen 👸
