I'm Not Complaining

Many mothers choose to keep their struggles and tribulations to themselves…bottled up inside and never voicing a word of what they deal with on a daily basis. This is fine if this works for you, yet others choose to share their days with a close friend or another mother who is not so eager to judge. You may call this complaining, yet it’s a stress relief for many mothers. Just being able to vent about your day, a situation with your children, or an unlovable moment with your husband, is medicine for many moms. If you don’t have anyone to share with, be careful not to disclose your life with just anyone out of desperation. Pray for someone in your life that will have a mutual understanding of an occasional need for a listening ear and confidentiality. Pray for someone who will be willing to invest in the quality of your life and your family. This is priceless! You may not always need a solution, just an understanding ear will be appreciated. Once again, let’s not judge each other on how we choose to deal with our joys and challenges of motherhood! Encourage, edify, and uplift your fellow mother!
