What I would love to hear from others... so I will tell it to myself....

"You have the hardest job on the planet. It is thankless, tireless, physically and mentally draining. Your children will never truly know how hard it is till they are parents and even then they are boys so I think it will be different. Your children will never thank you for making them pick up their toys, or making them brush their teeth. Your husband doesn't understand that some days you just want to hear that he hears you. You are allowed to be tired. You are allowed to want to quit from time to time. You are allowed to want a day off. You may not get those things but you are allowed to want them."
