There are so many things we have to learn to accept when we become mothers.
We accept that our bodies are forever changed.
We accept that uninterrupted sleep is a thing of the past.
We accept that we will go out in public with spit up on our clothes.
We accept that the days of privacy in the bathroom have ended.
Then, there are the bigger things we accept as our children grow.
We accept that we actually have very little control over how our children turn out.
We accept that our kids may travel a different path than we would have liked them to.
We accept that our family may not resemble the picture we always had in our head.
We also need to accept that we will not be perfect parents. Accept that we will make mistakes and we will mess up and that is part of being a parent.
When we do mess up, we need to accept blame and responsibility. When our kids make mistakes, which they will, we need to accept their apology and move on.
What part of motherhood do you need to accept today?
