If your search history includes things like:
“Is it normal for kids to eat only beige foods?”
“Is it normal to be tired even after sleeping?”
“Is it normal to hide in the bathroom for five minutes of peace?” 🚪
First of all… welcome. You’re among friends here 🐝
Parenting has a funny way of making us question everything—our kids, ourselves, and whether everyone else got a secret manual we somehow missed. (Spoiler: they didn’t.)
✨ Yes, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed.
Even when you love your kids fiercely. Even when you chose this life. Even on the “good” days.
✨ Yes, it’s normal to wonder if you’re doing enough.
That voice in your head? It usually belongs to someone who cares deeply.
✨ Yes, it’s normal for kids to be weird.
Loud one minute. Silent the next. Obsessed with the same song for three weeks straight. Completely normal. 🎶😵💫
✨ Yes, it’s normal to miss your old life AND love your current one.
Two things can be true at the same time.
✨ Yes, it’s normal to feel like you’re failing sometimes.
But feeling like you’re failing is often a sign that you’re actually trying.
Here’s the thing no one says loudly enough:
👉 Most parents are Googling the same questions you are.
They’re just doing it quietly… probably at midnight… while hiding under a blanket scrolling their phone.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need to compare your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel.
You are doing the best you can with what you have — and that counts.
