Camps

In honor of the impending holiday (and my first ever blog post) I will have a series of posts to pay homage to Motherhood :)

Being a mom is really hard sometimes. 

It's not a competition (sorry to those who think their winning), you won't be graded (not traditionally at any rate), and you'll most likely do and say things you later regret (we are human after all). 

We all battle the same stresses, some of us are either better at handling it or better at hiding it. We all battle feeding our children the right foods, and whether we should immunize them, what route to take with schooling, and have probably cried at one time or another thinking we were doing everything wrong. 

Moms need other moms to get through the parenting years. We need to encourage and support one other because it's hard enough as it is. 

But creating camps based on if you work or stay-at-home or work from home only creates a division that doesn't help anyone. Every side has a struggle for the mother involved and pretending that one side is easier than another is an unfair judgment to make. All sides take a sacrifice, and to judge that the one your making is better than anyone else's is not right. What may be right for one situation may not be right or even possible for another. 

So in celebration of Mother's Day, let's take down our tents and camp in unison, because being a mom is hard enough without feeling condemned by each other. ♥
