They ALL Have Nannies?!
Hi Everyone!
I am going to disclaimer this post by saying that is it in no way, shape or form a dig at anyone’s childcare situation because mom-shame is real and I want no part of that at all!
However, this post is to shine some light on a realization I had recently.
I am an avid stalker reader of many blog posts, websites and books that are written by women who seem to have it all together. While I love the fact that hey inspire and encourage me to up my game, I find myself envious of the fact that they seem to have the ability to do it all! I know, I know…you shouldn’t compare where you are to someone’s highlight reel but I know I am not the only one who wonders how some of these powerhouse women get it all done. I have found the link…for some of them anyone…they have nannies! I cannot tell you how relieved and slightly jealous I was to read that, haha.
Once I found out that these wonderful ladies did in fact have someone helping them, I felt like I could let myself off the hook a little for not being able to bake cupcakes, create content, blog, run my business and entertain my little boy simultaneously all while rocking an amazing outfit and having my hair perfectly coiffed.
I will say that I am extremely lucky to have my family helping me with Connor so I am able to squeeze in a few hours of work here and there but I am by no means to a point yet where I can have a nanny full time. However, if Mary Poppins herself were to fly in on her umbrella, I might redesign the budget.
So for any of you lovely moms or even you wonderful dads who are feeling slightly envious and feeling guilty you couldn’t get it all done today…I see you! I am you! They have help, haha! This is your official sign to give yourself some grace, take a deep breathe and release the tension from those shoulders… the to-do list will still be there tomorrow.
