The other day, during one of our epic brunch conversations, a dear friend and I touched upon the topic of Mother Guilt. We acknowledged that, as a Mother, you never forget about the times you were less than the parent you wanted to be. And that every time your child, at any age, is experiencing a challenge you look for what you did that caused it.
A Mother never stops being a Mother. Never stops being concerned about the Beings they gave birth to or helped raise. And Mothers rarely let themselves off the hook for what they perceive as their failings as a Mother.
Today is Mothers Day and I wish all Mothers a happy one. But even more than that I wish you all a guilt-free Mothers Day.
For this one day let yourself be celebrated and loved for everything you did right.
Free yourself, if only for a day, of the burden of Mother Guilt.
