The Universal Struggle of Motherhood
Every mother has experienced “The Look.” It’s that carefully controlled smile paired with a firestorm of frustration in the eyes. It conveys a powerful message: “We are in public, and while I cannot express my frustration audibly, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW. LOOK AT ME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE I’M SENDING YOU? IT’S TELEPATHIC, SOAK IT IN. LEARN IT. FEAR IT. NOW LISTEN UP, CHILD!”
A humorous meme has recently gone viral on social media, resonating deeply with mothers everywhere. Take, for example, the case of Emma, a well-known public figure. Even she, with all her royal status, experiences moments of utter exasperation when her children act out.
Just yesterday, I faced the daunting task of leaving the park with two energetic little ones. How do parents with larger families manage? I was channeling “The Look” so intensely that I feared a stroke was imminent. Imagine a weary mother, exhausted from a long day, trying to wrangle her five and three-year-olds out of the park, only to have them dash away, giggling like little maniacs. All the while, other mothers nearby exchanged sympathetic glances, as if to say, “I understand your plight.”
Finally, I reached my breaking point and thought, “Forget it. Time to raise my voice.”
“GET IN THE CAR NOW! OR I’M NEVER BRINGING YOU BACK HERE! DO YOU HEAR ME? FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL ONLY VISIT THIS PARK WITH YOUR FATHER!”
Pro Tip:
Sometimes, “The Look” falls short. In those moments, losing your composure might just be necessary. If you find yourself surrounded by fellow mothers, even those you don’t know, your outburst may bring them a sense of relief about their own parenting struggles.
Solidarity is key.
