Being a stay-at-home mama is certainly not a job for the faint of heart. Between the middle-of-the-night wake-ups, the constant feedings, diaper changes, and more, it’s no surprise that research has equated the role of mothers who stay at home with their kids to 2.5 full-time jobs.
Though it has its many rewards, it can often be a thankless, tiring job that leaves moms exhausted and feeling unseen.
Mom blogger Laura Mazza is all too familiar with this feeling, and wrote an empowering message to women to remind them that they’re not invisible and that all their little labors of love matter.
Read her viral post in full below:
“No one saw you, at 2 a.m., when the baby wailed for you.
No one saw you, when a snoring exhausted man lay next to you, who had to get up for work, so the night shift was yours.
No one saw you when the baby didn’t want to be put down. Falling asleep while drinking and using you as a dummy.
I know you feel invisible when you’ve changed another poo, made another bottle, had another nipple bitten, made another snack. No one sees your exhaustion.
