Sometimes being a mom is hard. Sometimes it does come naturally and easily, but usually it is just hard. In fact, its the hardest thing I've ever done.
I realize that it is sooooo important, and ultimately the most incredibly rewarding thing i could do with my life, but it is hard to see it through temper-tantrums, the constant changing of dirty diapers, never-ending piles of laundry and dishes, and whiney voices. It is hard to find a lot of significance in the day to day things, but I guess that those are the same things that ultimately make the difference.
If only I could step back and see the whole picture, I might gain some perspective. I am sooooooo grateful for the gospel, it gives me little bits of perspective here and there. Without it, I dont think I could continue doing what I do everyday (Id probably send my kids to daycare, go back for RN licensing and start working). I love my kids, I just wish some days it were easier to like them.
Sorry about this post, Ill probably delete it later. I just needed a release!
Merry Christmas 2025

Shayla we all have those days. trust me. I can go a week and feel like mother hood is so wonderful and then my kids all fall apart and they act like everything in the world is wrong. I too love my kids but I find it hard some times to love being a mom. Hang in there though it does get easier in some aspects.
Oh, the wonderful release! I have those days too. Its only normal. You are a wonderful mom and your are making such a difference in the lives of your little ones. Hang in there. I had a super bad day yesterday and was NOT PATIENT as I should have been. When we have days like that, all we can do it repent and try to do better. Just remember that some day you will wish you could go back and have these every day moments again. Love you!
Hang in there Shayla. I'm sorry that you're having a hard time. But like you said there are good and bad days/times. Being a mom is very rewarding but it does have those hard times we just have to push on through the rough times and try to look forward to the good times ahead and of course rely on the Lord to help us. Love ya lots ;)
Everyone has a day like this whether they show it or not! I always say "it isn't always fun, but it is joyfull." Let me know if you need a release and we can run away to Sonic or something!
