God pointed me to resources, and verses, and eventually to you guys – my own mom village. So after that, little by little, it didn’t happen overnight, right? But God taught me how to be more patient. Even until now, it’s ‘bless me to become the mother that my children deserve’. But now I had a specific prayer for me, as a mom – ‘bless me’ – I remember my prayer. I used to pray, of course, for God to bless my family, bless my children, etcetera. ![]() Mariel: So anyway, back then at that moment – probably one of my most overwhelming ones, I started fine-tuning my prayer because I realized I can’t do it. Mariel: I know, but you don’t remember it well enough to have more children, right? Just kidding! When they’re 2, it’ll be better.Įmirick: Yeah! And then when you look back, you just remember it was hard, but it was also… It’s hard to see the beauty of motherhood, especially when you just had the baby.Įmirick: I remember in those phases, you’re always thinking about the next phase.Įmirick: When they’re 1, it’ll be easier. When you’re in those moments, and I don’t know if you had those moments. We were doing laundry, and feeding, and we were snacking, and pumping, and reading. Yeah, I just felt alone, and I felt like I was drowning, and everything was just trying to just push my kids to the surface so they can survive. I was just like, ‘forget it I’m not going to clean anything at this moment.’ I had to, eventually, obviously. I just felt really overwhelmed at that point, you know? And I cried. You guys know, you remember poop explosions of the onesie, right? It’s all over the onesies, it’s all over the back and it’s all over you, but this one was on the couch too. But, he had a poop explosion, and it’s like, ‘yeah, newborn, poop explosion – makes sense right? So, I’m cleaning him up and then – guess who else had a poop explosion? Now, my daughter – who was about 3 at this point, right, and she’s been potty trained for a year and a half – she decides, ‘well if he can do it, I guess it’s a free for all. Why do we even have a white couch with kids? I don’t know. It was around the time Massimo was born, and he was a newborn almost a decade ago-wow- and he had a poop explosion on my white couch, okay. I think that you may have heard this story before because we’re friends- we text and we talk and whatever. You know what, I just wanted to share one of the stories that always comes to my mind when I’m thinking about hard times and moments where I feel like I failed as a mom. Mariel: Our average is still a little off the radar, guys. Jewell: Okay, I’ll bring it down a little bit. I’m going to say it’s 12.īernie: Alright, alright. I’m going with 11.Įmirick: I’m going to up 1 you, Bernie. ![]() But ladies, how difficult is it to be a mom, like if you rank it from 1-10? Ten being the hardest.īernie: I’m going to go with 11. I guess we’re part of the 25% that’s not there, I hope, because we have each other. Studies reveal that the majority of mothers, about 85% of them, said they do not feel supported or understood by society. So today, we’re talking about how tough it is to be a mom, but we’re also going to remind you about how awesome it is as well, based on our experiences, right? We’re taking this time to count our blessing because on really tough days being a mom isn’t easy. Jewell: And I’m Jewell Buenavista, been a mom since 2008. I’m Mariel Gutierrez, been a mom since 2006.īernie: I’m Bernie Rosquites, been a mom since 2012.Įmirick: I’m Emirick Haro, been momming since 2000.
