Hey there, fellow moms,
I’m done listening to your excuses, and honestly, I’m fed up with making them myself. Why do we feel the need to explain every little flaw to our friends and neighbors? What’s the point of justifying things we can’t change—or don’t even want to change?
You don’t have to tell me that your daughter dressed herself today. I can see that she’s rocking that eye-popping ensemble of purple stripes, red polka dots, and pink hearts, even if it’s on backwards! Sure, her hair might not be ready for a viral video, but who cares? You managed to run a comb through it—kudos to you!
Your house is a mess? Shocking! You’re a mom! Let’s face it; with kids in the house, cleanliness is a distant dream for at least 18 years. No need to explain that you’ve been busy or that it’s usually tidier. Trust me, mine’s no better—it’s been overtaken by tiny tornadoes, and I’m just trying to keep a clear path to the door.
Can’t fit into your pre-baby jeans? Really? Shame on you (as I sneak a donut). The truth is, most of us are in the same boat. Whether we’re working on it, facing medical hurdles, or simply embracing the new normal, our waistlines are our business. Instead of making excuses, let’s go for a walk together. We both need it, and the kids can run wild outside.
Those bake sale cupcakes don’t look like the Pinterest version? Please, it’s probably not just the recipe’s fault. After a few failed attempts, I caved and bought mine at the store. My kids were thrilled; they’ve declared the not-so-pretty ones at home fair game. Even the best bakers face epic fails. So, let’s ditch the apologies for our non-perfection!
Your toddler just bolted through the neighborhood in his birthday suit? At least he remembered his socks! We’ve all been there. Instead of hanging your head in embarrassment, let’s share a laugh. These kids are experts at escape; I’m not judging you at all.
You don’t need to slip out of our playdate early because your 2-year-old is still figuring out social skills. Mine smacked someone last time! We’re all in this together.
And you don’t owe anyone an explanation for putting your child on medication or choosing to stop homeschooling. You’re the mom—do what feels right for your family. No apologies necessary!
So, next time you feel the urge to apologize for your messy hair, cluttered car, unkempt lawn, or shoeless child—please don’t! Just stop. The only thing I want to hear is you being genuine, not some version of you that doesn’t exist. Trust me, I appreciate you just the way you are.
