You aren’t crazy…

No you aren’t crazy for wanting something more, even if you’re grateful for all you have and are “comfortable.”

No you aren’t crazy for feeling that parenting is hard and mentally exhausting, that what your kids do can be annoying (the noise!) AND at the same time feeling that you’re totally in love with your kids and feel so grateful for them.

No you aren’t crazy for needing time and space for yourself without anyone needing something from you, and then feeling guilty for taking that time for you.

No you aren’t crazy for wanting to run errands just to get out of the house on the weekend.

No you aren’t crazy to feel like it’s not a vacation to travel with young children and that it’s just a change of scenery with a bunch of stuff you have to lug around.

No you aren’t crazy for sometimes missing how it used to be when you walked into where you lived and it was quiet.

No you aren’t crazy for experiencing the full range of emotions in parenting kids.

Just remember you can be grateful AND feel all the feelings.

You’re human. Be kind to yourself ❤️
