Moms sure can put a lot of pressure on themselves! Not only are we actually doing the work of being mothers and wives, we make our work more stressful and less joyful by believing lies about how the work "must" be done.
See if you have put yourself under any of these mombligations, which are really lies in disguise…
- I must be cheerful for my family at all times
- I must never admit I'm having a hard day
- I must focus on my kids 24/7
- I am only as good as the size of my jeans
- I must make every meal healthy, tasty and special
- I must make every day fun for my family
- I cannot go to bed until all of my "mom work" is done
- I must get everything "right" with my kids or they will be ruined
- I must keep my house pretty close to spotless
- I must say yes to every school or volunteer request
- I must berate myself when I fall short of these mombligations
