Let’s face it, being a mom is hard.
If you’re a new mom, then it can sometimes feel like there’s no rest bite, because after getting through pregnancy and all its highs and lows (think morning sickness, hormones, strange food cravings and physical discomfort), you quickly realize that the 4th trimester and newborn phase are in many ways much harder.
And if you are a mother to a toddler or older child, then things like potty training, tantrums, separation anxiety and sleep deprivation are no less difficult or intense to deal with.
If it’s any consolation, I can tell you that I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve felt stressed and overwhelmed over the past few years, and I know my other mom friends are no different.
To get through the many challenges and low points of being a mother, I’ve rounded up a list of the best overwhelmed mom quotes to help pick you up, inspire you, and keep going during the tough times.
