If you’re like me, sometimes it’s really nice to hear how other moms engage in everyday conversations with their kids. Let’s normalize the mundane, horrifying, sweet, and truly embarrassing moments we all experience on this journey called motherhood.
Come on in friend. Permission to eavesdrop.
On Things I Said…
I thought today was Monday.
I guess staying up until 1am was a poor choice on my part.
I really appreciate your help today.
Hey, let’s not put cookie crumbs in your neck folds, okay?
I’m going to get a quick workout in.
Hey Siri, what’s Jimmy Fallon’s wife’s name?
You and I have very different definitions of a clean room.
I’m stopping to grab us coffee!
I have no idea when I last showered.
I’m so proud of you!
I’m concerned that I haven’t washed any of your underwear in a while.
Hey Siri, what are common signs for perimenopause?
How was your day today?
I need everyone to just chill out.
You’ve been through a lot and it’s okay to feel frustrated.
That is not okay, don’t hit your brother.
What did you just squirt into my eyeball?
Take two more bites and then you can be done.
I missed you.
Why do we have a dog that sheds so much?
Don’t forget to wash your hands!
Clothes don’t actually need to be folded, right?
I have no idea what we’re having for dinner tonight.
On Things I Needed To Hear…
You’re doing a great job.
I love you.
I totally understand.
It will be fine.
I feel the same way.
Want to come over?
It’s not the end of the world.
Your kids are going to be okay.
I’m bringing you dinner.
Girls night?
I’m so sorry, please forgive me.
Me too.
You’re a good mom.
You too? Me too…
What are some of the mundane, horrifying, sweet, and oddly embarrassing moments from your week? My guess is you’re not alone.
