For those who haven’t done it, it’s easy to hold the misconception that being a stay-at-home mom is a walk in the park full of playtime and cuddles. But soon after you dive into the crazy beautiful (and often ugly) world that is motherhood, you quickly discover there’s no clocking out, no paid vacation time and rarely even a lunch break.
The under-appreciation for the insane workload placed on mothers is often what leads to the “worn out, tired, frustrated and overwhelmed” wife that one husband details in the viral letter below.
Kate Douglas had just made it to the end of a very hard day, and her husband could see the look of utter defeat in her eyes. Kate decided to leave for a few hours to collect herself, and when she came back, much to her surprise, she found the note below written by her husband. Since it was posted on Facebook by Love What Matters and shared by media outlets like TODAY Parents & PopSugar Moms, this heartwarming letter has been shared by thousands of mothers who have been touched by its powerful message of love and gratitude:
So I had a hard day with my 2 boys yesterday when my husband got home I was defeated. They won. I went out for a few hours and he posted this. ALL queens need to know they are appreciated.
