If You’re Doing The Best You Can, You’re Doing Enough

14. And you are sometimes forced to choose whether you watch her musical or his basketball game.

15. You are the only constant in your children’s lives.

16. You are literally everything.

17. And it’s exhausting.

18. You find yourself crying in the shower because it’s the only time you are alone.

19. And trying to stay up late to get housework done, but falling asleep minutes after your kids do.

20. You feel like you will never be enough.

21. And you feel guilty for what they are missing out on. 

22. People tell you that you are strong and admirable,

23. But you don’t feel strong. 

24. You feel the weight of the world on your shoulders.
