Hello Everyone! I want to encourage us all as parents when we are not feeling like “super Mom”/ ‘Super Dad’, or not having one of those “incredible” moments to be honest about it. Often times I forget to do that myself and I’m now realizing that the effect doesn’t benefit me. When I am not honest about how I am feeling, what frustrates me, or even that I need a few minutes alone, my children assume that everything is okay with me. I realize that not being transparent with my children/family, I give off an impression of being ‘Perfect”. I am in now way perfect or even close. Children see us in a different light until life experiences teaches otherwise. I am not saying to share everything that is going on with us with our children, because we don’t want them to feel that it is their job to fix the problem. I realize that my lack of not being open with my children causes them to think that mommy is always okay. I don’t want my children to think that I am “Super Mom”, because I have not so good days just like them. I really want my children to learn how to extend grace to others. One way I can teach them is by being transparent when I am having a really challenging day, and things are not getting done around the house, and I’m not meeting their expectations as ‘Mom’. I also think being more honest and open with my children will help them to be more understanding and understanding of others. So if your not at your best today, don’t give the impression of being “Super Mom”. Express yourself with wisdom to your children, to help them to understand where you are as a parent. If you are feeling like you can’t be honest about not being the best version of yourself at times please comment and share your thoughts below.
