That ridiculous article from TIME Magazine. Riling up bloggers like Scary Mommy and vloggers like Jessica Gottleib. Check out twitter hashtag #MomEnough – we moms are not going to let this topic divide us anymore. I support moms that love their children and sacrifice themselves to nurture and raise them.
I am sorry if I ever said anything that made a mom feel not good enough. We are our worst critics! And when we hear other moms voicing our worst fears – that we are not doing a good enough job – we crumble inside.
So STOP! Love yourself. You are good enough. And support every other mom around you.
I overcame a fear of mine – approaching strangers – and asked moms in the Chicago O’Hare Airport to share why they are mom enough. The video gives me chills and I hope it encourages you today!
Annie this is awesome! We are mom enough! It really doesn’t matter in the end all these divides we have as Mothers. Parent the way you think is right for your child and you will be doing what you need to do to be a good mom!
This is beautiful! Yes, we are all uniquely mom enough!
Annie – LOVED your post and the video! This is a constant struggle for me as a working mom that is travels away from home often, especially with a second kiddo on the way. I AM Mom Enough because I am doing what works for me and my family and what is best for my child. Thanks for this great reminder today of why i am ENOUGH! And Happy Mother’s Day!!
If there is one thing I have learned about being a mom–it’s you have to do what’s best for you and your family. If breastfeeding works, do it. If formula feeding is better for your family, do it. Same with cry-it-out, attachment parenting, cloth diapers, disposables etc. The list could go on and on. The most important thing is for you and your baby to be happy.
Loved your video!
Of course WE are. Who wrote the rule book for moms? We know. There isn’t one. But if there were, a mom would write it. Love that you jumped out of your comfort zone to vlog at the airport. Inspiring.
Fantastic video! Well done!
This was so refreshing – the video of strangers and your inspiring talk. Let’s stop judging and continue helping others mothers out.
We are mom enough. When my son is laying his BF only self on me while his brother 50/50 BF hangs on my shoulder and their sister 100% formula ( medication made it impossible to bf) is once again consuming her bottle like it might disappear at any given monument and all are sitting on me loving me no matter whet food choice I have made for them I know I am mom enough.. Thank you for this post. Taking care and loving our babies make us mom enough. Happy Mothers Day. P.S sorry for grammatical errors but I am too tired to fix it and I have two beautiful babies waiting in my bed. HAHA along with their daddy who I am sure has been reduced to the foot of the bed.
I LOVE this video! You are awesome and so true. We are ALL Mom ENOUGH!!
well duhhhhhhh!
