The truth about motherhood is that it’s not always easy. You’ll have ups and downs, and sometimes you’ll find yourself wondering if you really got into this whole parenting thing for the right reasons. But the truth is, you’ll love your kids to the moon and back, and on those days when they drive you completely bonkers, you’ll look at them while they’re sleeping or in one of those rare moments of quiet, and your heart will melt into a puddle of unadulterated joy.

But there will also be times when you feel like an incompetent mommy, when they act up in public and you find yourself wishing that you had your old life back, or when you read about a tragic event involving children and think, “What if that was my kid?” Even the most positive and loving mothers can’t help but be a little bit jaded by motherhood at times.
Of course, this is only because motherhood isn’t for the faint of heart. But it’s something that you will learn to accept, and you’ll eventually find a way to roll with the punches and appreciate the unadulterated joys of being a parent. After all, that’s the beauty of being a mom. You’ll never have a perfect experience, but you will have a life full of wonderful memories. And isn’t that worth it?
