Mom's, remember to be thankful.
Life right now is exhausting. If you're a mom, it's double exhausting. But we're weak compared to our ancestors. We think living is much harder than it is. And I get it, it's our mental load, our mental load doubled while the physical one became smaller.
But let's remind ourselves of this and not complain too much.
A hundred years ago washing machines didn't exist. The women had to do the laundry by hand.
We had to get firewood under wood stoves in order to cook, and some of us still have to in some parts of the world.
We have to cut and process meat and clean it all and make it edible for the family. Now we just buy it cleaned and processed for us.
Let's be thankful for what we have today that gives us time away from the basic, back breaking chores.
That give us time to think and teach our children beyond household chores.
