I will admit. I try to act like I have my life figured out, but the truth is, underneath it all, I clearly DON’T. My house is never clean, although I feel like I am constantly cleaning. I try to spend all that quality time with my kids, but I am not mad when they go to bed. Why do I share this? Because I feel like we think everyone has life figured out. Because that’s what it looks like on social media. If you are like me, then join me in the ‘Hot Mess Mom Club.’ All members welcome!
Why do we ‘hot mess moms’ make great friends?
You never have to apologize for having a messy house. Ours is just as bad, if not worse. And even if it’s not worse, we will NEVER say anything!
We will never judge your parenting. Want to co-sleep? Great! Do your kids have chicken nuggets for every meal? So do mine. Don’t want to breastfeed? Don’t torture yourself! We are here to support whatever parental choice you make!
You can be yourself. You can be completely honest about how you are feeling. We won’t cringe when you are about to get real. You can vent to us and we can laugh or cry about how ‘effed’ up our lives both are.
We complain about our kids too. Yes, we love our kids. But we are allowed to complain about them. Life is not all rainbows and unicorns, and sometimes it feels good to just let it all out!
We don’t care if you are late. We have kids too. I always joke that you can add 10 minutes to whatever time I told you I would be there. Because something always happens.
She shares your desire to have some time without kids too. Because even now that we hold the ‘best job ever,’ we still are humans with ‘social interaction needs.’ Make the time to hit the town with your hubby, or girls, or even just by yourself. We are all much better humans when we take care of ourselves socially.
They will never compare themselves to you. Luckily, us hot mess moms are way to busy trying to keep our lives together to worry about how many ‘winning at life’ boxes you have checked off. We are there to help celebrate your successes but will never make you feel inferior for not keeping up with the Jones.’ We are way more fun than them anyway.
Whether you are a parent, a student, a grandma, or single in your twenties–we can all agree our lives are just one big hot mess, but when we have those hot mess friends to talk to in similar aspects of life, it doesn’t feel so bad. We are here to embrace your crazy because we all got it–some just hide it better.
