An Australian mother had a brief conversation with a child psychologist that turned into a wonderful lesson in motherhood. The psychologist's response<\/p>\n\n

left its mark on him:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A couple of weeks ago a child therapist looked at my children and said\u2026<\/em>
\n"You're a good mother."<\/em>
\nFeeling like a total fraud, I said, "I don't feel like a good mom. The kids are driving me crazy, I'm losing patience, and I fall asleep at night wondering where I'm going to get the patience for another day."<\/em>
\nTo which she responded with a statement that I have not been able to forget,<\/em>
\nBabies cry, it's how they communicate. Toddlers protest, and teenagers complain.<\/em>
\nSo moms say the words "fuck shit" under their breath before every answer. Is that how we communicate?<\/em>
\nBut guess what, Constance? It's better than silence.<\/em>
\nA house full of screaming kids and fighting teenagers and parents who are talked back to is healthy for me.<\/em>
\nIt's the silent children, the fearful children, the teenagers who don't come home, and the parents who aren't in communication with their children that worry me.<\/em>
\nAnd kids don't drive you crazy; you were already crazy. That's why you had them.<\/em>
\nAnd just like that, I felt like a good mother again.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mothers of the world!! Take a deep breath, you're doing a good job.<\/p>\n
