Being a Mother is ‘Doing Enough’

so are your kids,

and so are you?

You’ve got your whole life to do a lot of things, but you’ve only got 18 years to do something with and for your children while they still want you to.

The next time you feel like being their mother isn’t you ‘doing enough,’

remember that your kids, well, they are the only ones you must be doing enough for.

And, luckily for you,

just being together,

sharing time and some snacks,

is usually more than enough for them.
