I LOVE that someone is talking louder about the Joy's of children and motherhood instead of the negative aspects. It's nice for expecting moms to actually hear the uplifting parts💕
Yes!!! I remember when I was pregnant I only heard the negatives and the “wait til she.....” Now my baby is close to a year old and still that’s what I hear “your home is gonna be messy with toys” “oh let’s see what you have to move around your home because she’s gonna want to break everything “ I’m like really? Ugh
Aaaww! Maybe it’s because they know hard days will also come and they don’t want you to feel alone? Or they just complain too much? 🤣 There are very hard days but I LOVE motherhood. My little boy is 17 months and it’s been the best part of my life by far.
@@adrianal3al when I told my friends that me and my partner want to start a family they were the same. "Oh you will never sleep again, your house will be a mess....wait until this and that happens. Not sure if they want sympathy for their struggle or think that I'm stupid or naive, but it's a disheartening thing to do. Loved this video so much because it highlighted good things about being a parent.
Yes, this one is so true!!! For them and for us!! I have only had one chunk of a few months of solid sleep in the last 4 years! That was between my kids when my eldest slept through at 9-14 months. That was it and he started not sleeping again, then enter baby number two who has slept only a few nights in his 2 years, which always coincided with bad dreams from the other.
I don’t have any children but this whole video had me fighting back tears. This is exactly why I know with every fiber of my being that my calling in life is to be a mother. While it breaks my heart that it hasn’t happened yet I know that children will come into my life at the exact moment they are destined to.
I was there girl! My husband, after we were married, changed his mind and didn't think he wanted kids. I've known since childhood that raising and caring for a family was all I wanted. I tried to accept that my life could be without children and i couldn't so we rarely talked about it. After 5 years of trying to accept what he wanted, I went to a job interview and they asked where I saw myself in 5 years and i said without thinking that I wanted to be home with my children and homeschool them. Obviously didn't get the job but it really put into perspective that I did know what my role was in this world and what I wanted in my heart more than anything. So I laid out my 5 year plan to make having kids financially possible and I shared that with my husband. And I knew I couldn't convince him because this desire was a feeling that you can't logically convince someone if. So I gave it to God and I asked a few friends to be praying with me. I prayed everyday that He would open my husband's heart to understand this feeling. I prayed God would put a burning passion in his heart to use his talents to glorify God. And I asked God to use me however I could be used to shine His light to the world. Within a few months everything came together and he really had a change of heart. I can't even express how happy I was when he told me he wants kids now. It's been about 1.5 years since then and our little girl should be arriving any day now. Take heart, be patient, and protest to God everyday. He is loving and as I reminded myself when I felt low and doubtful that things would change: I know this is what I was made for. This is the strongest desire in my heart. I will be dutiful and faithful to God and his commandments he has asked of me. He wants good for me and loves me more than I can comprehend. He will not leave me barren. Even if I'm as old as Sarah, God will bless my womb.
Jessica McElroy I had a similar talk to my SO right before we got engaged. He was terrified of having kids cus he didn’t want to be a bad dad and mess then up like so many do. He didn’t realize that the level of care and concern he had for providing a wonderful life to a child was proof that he wouldn’t be a screw up. I have accepted that if biological children are not in our plan that we will adopt. He was adopted so he fully understands that decision. I’m so happy to hear you have been blessed and your baby girl will bring so much light into your life.
My children won’t remember my weight, my messy hair days, if I accidentally burnt dinner, or the days I’m a little grouchier than I should’ve been... They will remember that mommy told the best stories. That no matter what, I was always there! That cuddle time was my favorite. ❤️ We were made for our babies, and they for us.
Thank you for this. I was so scared when I found out I was pregnant. Around that time a person who matters so much to me said that I would never be able to raise someone. That broke me in infinite pieces. A month later I was pregnant. And 22 yrs old, in a serious and stable relationship, which helped me so much through it all. I found your channel months ago and thanks to you I switched my perspective to one of excitement, connection, love. I'm due in 9 weeks, my father is the pediatrician. I'm so thankful to God for this opportunity to be a mom. I don't think my life could've gone any better than this. I send you so much love and all my gratitude because you helped me heal deep wounds. God bless you, from México.
I'm so sorry someone said that to you, that's awful... I had my baby at 22 (I'm only 23 now) and now he's 6 months old. It goes by so fast and you're are going to have such a wonderful time! Being in our early 20's means we generally have more energy to play with them which is a blessing! You will be an amazing mother and I can't wait for you to meet your little love ❤
I’m really sorry they said that. People can change so much that there’s never a reason to think someone CANT be a parent. And often the turning point is a child for so many people. And most likely you didn’t earn that comment in any of your behavior anyway, people can be so harsh. 😭
I'm just 17 and nowhere close to this but I love how you think you're a mom even as you're pregnant....a lot of women will say 'I'm going to be a mom' and somehow I feel that tampers with our mentality and makes the baby a lot less significant in terms of someone who's not ready and considering aborting. Love your positivity ❣️
My daughter has taught me that I’m good enough - when I feel crappy or insecure, her looking up to me with love just shows me that my parenting is good enough for her and it just gives me confidence. She’s taught me lots of patience and the meaning of unconditional and infinite love.
I learned to rethink all the things that have the "that's how it's done" stamp. It does not have to be a strict way to do things ot to see things. Children have this unique vision. I am now bending down to see how they see the world.
I've learned to let go of control and embrace the chaos, lol but also to be way more organized and plan ahead of time so that I'm not running into these last minute rush hours with my kids.
I've been having a rough week being 32 weeks pregnant along with my almost 2 year old girl. She throws fits and gets into everything and I've been overwhelmed and hateful. I just feel like I'm not cut out to be a mom some days. This video came at the right time and has shown me how I need to change my perspective, truly! I got absolutely emotional so many times watching this. Because all the while I'm fuming about something she did and her reaping the percussions of it. It takes her less than no time to forget, forgive and be kind. My child is constantly teaching me forgiveness, grace and kindness. Something that is so fundamental in all of our lives that I forget to give myself too often. I'm sorry for the long post! But thank you so much for sharing this!! It was God sent and I hope he continues to bless you all and help you grow into a closer and stronger family no matter the circumstances. 💛💛
I feel you so much and on this! I get so frustrated and grumpy and then I feel like the worst mom in the world. It took one of my friends who doesn’t have children to tell me don’t take it to heart tomorrow’s a new day and she won’t even care.
I just LOVE you. Truly. I found your channel at the beginning of quarantine and it’s been so helpful for me! I’m pregnant with my first baby due within the next two weeks and you’ve helped educate and make me more excited for motherhood ❤️
I found her channel when quarantine in my county of California started too. I have 7 weeks left of my third pregnancy now and with two older ones, I needed a video like this.
I have a 5 month old baby and she has already taught me so much!! People kept telling me the time goes by so fast with babies, and that is 100% true. I am learning to enjoy every single moment with my baby...to cuddle her, hold her, play with her and to be the mother that she needs.
My kids taught me to not go into parenthood with expectations. One of my kids is autistic and it took me out of the headspace about obsessing about milestones and the future and just enjoy my kids and live in the present because it's so easy to compare your kids with others!
This was so beautiful and touching. I am pregnant at the moment and really enjoyed hearing positive things about motherhood in the middle of so much worry we are burden with. I wish the best for your great family 😊
Not a mom but a teacher to 5 and 6 year olds for the past 12 years and an aunt to many. It took me a while to appreciate the fact that these little kids want to play and be with me, a boring adult. It’s quite a compliment, in my opinion.
My child has taught me to see the best in every situation. We have such a limited time on earth with our children, and we shouldn't spend the whole time complaining when theres so much to be grateful and thankful for!
I don't have children yet but am a caretaker for a 3 year old boy. In South Africa schools were closed for 2-3 months before recently reopening. Somedays felt long but it has brought us so close and so many opportunities for patience and honesty. When I was having a difficult moment, I would remember the manner in which you live life with your children, accepting the overwhelming moments, simply trying again to lead with love. Thank you! ☺️
I’ve been a mother for 12 days, and my little Bradley has already taught me so much. He taught me that I am a strong woman! I had a very traumatic & long, natural delivery and as hard, intense & painful it was, I would do it all again!
What a precious gift you have in learning these things so early on. My youngest of 3 is going to be 16 this year, the other 2 are married and out of the house. I look around and am shocked to see just how quickly time has flown by and how I wish I would have taken more time to soak in every last second of their childhood. You're an awesome mommy and very blessed! Soak it all in and enjoy every second!
My daughter has taught me acceptance. Of literally everything; of oneself, of others of failures and poverty. But I honestly think of myself above everything, it’s so much easier to enjoy others if you have fully accepted who you are. Kudos to my 4 year old.
Videos like yours about the beauty of motherhood are SO NEEDED. Most of what I see on the internet is women who hated being pregnant, had birth turn out not how they wanted to, who hate having to take care of kids all the time, who say they constantly grieve not being who they used to be... I mean, I'm sure all those things can and do happen, but man, people love to complain. And sometimes (often) they forget to mention any of the good stuff. It's pretty discouraging for young women like me looking forward to starting a family. I love hearing more women with attitudes of "yeah, it was so hard, and so painful... but I would do it all again. I got stronger from that pain. I grew from that exhaustion like I never could without it. The suffering is 1000% worth it."
I’m getting married in October and you have been an example to me of mom and wife! I pra that God bless you and your family and keep using you and this platform for His glory! 🙌🏽🥰
What a beautiful mindset to have. 🌿🌱💐Becoming a mother has changed me for the better in so many ways, often through hard situations, but I am so grateful for the lessons those moments have and continue to teach me. I can completely relate with struggling to not always have to finish every to do list even at the expense of connecting and loving my child to the best of my ability. Thank you so much for the richness this video contains. 💕💕🌿
This was so brilliant. I am so sick of hearing people call their kids arseholes and slag them off and complain to other people that “you’ll never feel awake again” and all this. This actually makes me want to have children when no one else on the internet does!! So, thanks 👏🏻
Oh goodness I needed to hear #4 so bad. I've been so resentful towards my husband lately because I recently transitioned to being a SAHM and took on more of the chores. I can't do it all in one day and I just keep feeling like I'm so behind. I'm constantly overwhelmed with what needs to get done that I'm always moving and always exhausted. Then I don't enjoy my time with my son because I just want to relax on my phone. Hes so little only once and I'm just wasting my time on everything else 😭
Thank you. I have a 6 month old son and wow I really needed to hear this today. I got emotional thinking about how one day he won’t need me, just like you did. Motherhood truly is the greatest gift.
I don't have children myself but as an introvert who becomes so overwhelmed by people, the slower kinder simplest things in life bring me peace and comfort, this video was such a comfort blanket to me, thank you x
Even the most mundane things are so incredible the first time you experience it: first time you taste a new food, watching the leaves of a tree blow in the wind, the sound of footsteps are all exciting. My little one is so enthusiastic and unafraid to explore and learn and experience life.
Im sitting here with my 5 day old sleeping newborn as my 2 year old daughter plays in the backyard with her aunt. I cried with you lol. Your mentality is exactly how i feel about my children and they really showed me what true genuine happiness is... What life is all about! They make me a better person
can you make a video on how you teach your children about faith? how did you introduce it and start? im thinking about how i’m gonna start even if she isn’t here yet but she will soon! 💗
I have a 15 month old and we pray with him every night, explain how all the things that we see, smell and eat were created for us by God because he loves us, and read Bible stories. I hope that helps!
We got a toodler bible, which has colorful pictures to help keep them entertain, we read it to our daughter from day one. Also praying for our meals, praying first thing in the morning and at night time, to thank God for another day/protection/provisions/our loved ones. There are many kids' worship songs on RUclips😊 At the end of the day though, it is about being consistent and living out that Faith we want to teach them, because they learn more by watching us than hearing us tell them about it😉👍
We have the Jesus Storybook Bible and we started reading a story every night as he was nursing before bed. He has a hard time sitting still when he’s tired so that ended up being a simple way to do it consistently and not be frustrated every single night! Now we sing a song together, read the story, and pray quickly before his patience wears thin. It’s a good, simple little habit. We don’t worry about doing EVERY night, just every night we’re home in time. Don’t stress it and put too much pressure on it. Also praying and thanking God for meals and playing worship music are simple ways that they can hear about Jesus all the time!
As a child who grew up in a Christian household one of my suggestions would be to lead by example. I grew up watching my mom pray and read her Bible daily. Of course she actively taught us things as well but my most solid memory of true faith is her daily and quiet devotion.
Love it. I watched till the end and I totally relate it with myself as a Mother of 20 months old baby toddler🥰my daughter taught me many lessons of life throughout journey till today such as-1. Be regular 2. Have routine 3. Be in the moment Live in the Present 4. Selflessness 5. Everyone is equal (on their behavior perspective) for a child 6. PATIENCE (ધીરજ) 7. Love yourself 8. Don’t worry 9. Be happy in the presence 10. Ask and get 11. Express yourself 12. Listen 13. Learn 14. Find joy in the little things 15. Child likes Faith/Trust 16. Sleep properly 17. Gratitude 18. Be yourself
i don't have children, but one thing you have taught me is to appreciate and love my parents more. i already did love them a lot, but never having been a parent myself, i never really thought about the little moments and the little things they love and miss and will treasure for their entire lives. i love my family, and i'm very grateful you have opened my eyes to how precious days are for all of us, not just parents and not just us as individuals. lots of love to you 💕
Best most relatable video I’ve ever seen. The poem that says “ he is just a little boy, for such a little while” .... makes me cry so much !!! Loved this. ❤️
I love that you didn’t edit out or redo the moments that you were getting emotional, it’s clear in your everyday interactions that your love runs deep for those babies. It’s crazy how mushy they make you! I cry about stuff I would NEVER cry about before and I don’t even care how crazy I appear to people. 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing the good Delilah, we need more you in the world.
My baby is turning 1 exactly a month from now. I love him soooo much. I'm excited to have more 'adventures' with him. I have times where I feel like i'm a useless mom because i don't think i'm enough for my baby. But every time i see my baby smiling and laughing, i know that i am enough and worthy.
I need this reminder right now. I am currently on my 1st trimester for my 2n baby and I feel overwhelmed because I work from home and takes care of my toddler. I am tired all the time... but I am thankful that I am blessed to have children. I am excited to see my 2nd one and the bond they will form.
Thanks, for sharing, Three of my adult daughters have moved out of our home. They left for the city(3 yrs. ago). I soo miss them ( I have 3 boys at home). I miss my girls and what us girls did together(boys are not the same). We live on a 200 acre beef farm. They went from a small town of less then 500 people population to 2+ million. I once asked them if we moved closer to them would they live with us. I was soo surprised that they said, "Yes without a doubt"! .
This video literally made me so emotional thinking about my kids which are around that same age. But they have definitely thought me to be patient. I never knew a little person would test my patience so much lol.
This was a beautiful video with some very important life lessons. 💕 I'm 41w+5d with my girl and our first and she has already taught me a couple big lessons: patience and that you can't always control how things work out, some things are out of our hands. I had all these dates and things in my head of when I would like her to come or what days I didn't want her to come for the past month. Her going over her due date by almost 2 weeks has taught me to be patient and wait, and that there is no sense worrying about things that are out of my control. It's not about me or what I would prefer. I can't wait to learn so many more lessons from her.
This video brought a tear to my eye. I am a new mum to a little boy now 6 months and he has taught me that everything else can wait he's the most important thing in my life now
Playing with my daughter the other day, she leant over, gave me a cuddle and said "thanks for playing with me mum". It melted my heart ❤ Being present with them is all they want from us.
This is the proof that a video can change your way you’re thinking. I never thought about this, thank you for giving me this push to wake up and to pay more attention to my child.❤️
I relate so much.. my daughter melts my heart with everything she does. I don't know if anyone has seen the movie The Help but I love when the little girl is told repeatedly "you is kind you is smart you is important" I tell my daughter that
I'm not a momma, but I'm the oldest out of 7 children, and the last 2 kids have taught me how crazy different children are! It's amazing, and I love each aspect of each kid!
time and time again people told me to enjoy every moment. thus, from the beginning i have looked at the bright side of every moment. Of course, i have had to stop and find the positive, but it has made motherhood so much better for me. The hard times become some of the best times
My little babe taught me to slow down and love life more. I live with chronic pain and before my son I wanted everyday to go by fast. Now I take things slow and love the little things god brings our way 💛
Oh man ! I absolutely love this video and totally agree with you and feel you. My baby girl recently turned 1yo and I tell myself every day to appreciate those little moments and don’t get frustrated with her. Things have been rough recently and I constantly remind myself that soon she won’t need me and I know how much I am going to miss this. Thank you for this video , I really needed it. ❤️
Have been on the journey of motherhood for about 10 months now and my beautiful daughter has taught me to value myself. I struggled with some mental health before getting pregnant and couldn’t figure out what I was worth, or what my life really meant to others. It made it difficult to connect with those around me, especially my parents. Ever since having my baby girl, I’ve witnessed the miracle that is the creation of a human being inside of my body, and then the evolutionary transformation that occurs once we are born. Her existence is everything to me, as mine is to those who love me. I’ve never felt such a strong desire to live and envision my future. She has been my blessing and my awakening all at once. I know my life will not always be easy, but I am so darn exited to see where it takes me and my little family. 👨👩👧🕊
I needed this video today after my 2 year old and I had a bumpy moment. Tantrums are no joking matter but I gave in as soon as the hyperventilating started. In that moment my bad mood went out the window and all i could do is cuddle with him and he fell asleep. He has taught me to be patient but most importantly kind, to be ki d to others and especially them. Thank you and new subscribers here.
I LOVE this video. I’m not a mom yet but the kids I’m a counselor for at summer camp have taught me to think before I speak or act on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL and I know they’re training me to be the best mom I can be in the future.
My children have taught me humility. That it is so much more fruitful to admit when I'm wrong or to say sorry to my child than it is to be proud and be "right". Also to look at myself as a child in my own relationship with God, who also needs correction and love and reassurance. Helps me to give my kids what I myself need from the Father
Beautiful video. I sent it to all my mama friends. I was tearing up every time you teared up. My kids have taught me quick forgiveness, patience (work in progress) , that they are their own little small person and they also deserve great respect, they taught me to LISTEN, to read between the lines and to feel their emotions.
I just wanted to thank you for today's video❤ I truly believe God has a way of speaking to me through your videos and content. On the roughest days I always end up finding myself watching a video or reading a post that really touches my heart and helps me strive to be a better mother and have a better day. Thank you, truly ❤
My little one has taught me to appreciate every hug and cuddle and to not worry about the house being a mess if they need my attention because they are more important and valuable than dishes. It is important to have a tidy clean house but what's the point of having a spotless house when you are ignoring your children.
Sweet Delilah….I’ve been binge watching all of your videos. And I’m at a moment in my life where I have HUGE baby fever. 😭🍼👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽 Despite how scary the world is right now, I really do know that children ARE gifts of God. ✨ I just turned 26 and don’t want to get any older without having children. I think you having babies at such a young age was the best part! When they’re 20 years old you’ll barely be 40! And you being a young mom is so sweet because you’re their best friend. Thank you for this video. It really just opens a conversation that not many moms talk about. I wish they spoke about the good things more often about raising their children. Thank you Delilah and May God continue to bless you and your sweet family all the work and sacrifice you’ve done and will continue to do. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I am overjoyed to be able to answer your question as my first child was born just 6 days ago and I had wanted to be a mother so badly. So far my son has taught me that I am a fast learner even though there’s a lot I don’t know, and also that something can be the hardest and most joyful at the same time. I realize that I thought people were paying lip service or exaggerating when they said those cheesy things but now I can see they really weren’t. I’ve never been this happy.
This video is so special and touching. I definitely agree with you one hundred percent. Our children teach us so much. Listening to this has made me open my eyes, want to hug my little one and appreciate my time with her. It’s hard sometimes being a stay at home mom, but we only get this time with them once. Thanks Delilah, for such a beautiful and honest video.
i REALLY needed this today….it’s been a really tough season of motherhood but you have helped me to focus on what a blessing from GOD children are💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏
Thank you so much! It was such a heart melting video. I got so emotional remembering everything what my kid taught me. My little one also taught me not to be such a perfectionist, which I was for many years. Now always say to myself "It is ok that not everything Ideally laying on its places. It is ok not to have ideal always clean house. It is ok not to have ideally fold or ideally ironed clothing and etc." That is huge for me. Also, he taught me to relax sometimes and some days maybe not to be productive at all.
This is such a beautiful video. I was so on the fence and scared of having kids for the longest time. But I realized that I was only focusing on fear, my childhood, and what was making me afraid, but not enough on what is beautiful, how much I and they can provide, and all the amazing things about being a parent and raising the next generation!
I’m so emotional watching this. You are 100% right. You definitely hit the nail on every topic. My kids have taught me to be selfless. My whole day revolves around my kids. I love how much more purpose i have and it’s all thanks to them ❤️
Being a mother taught me how big my responsibility is towards my kids, how it’s my job to reparent and self-regulate myself, to change my beliefs on how to raise “good kids”. That it’s possible to set limits with empathy and raise them without punishments (or rewards). Without punishment, how can they learn? I can assure you these tiny humans learn so much more and they will not resent you for punishing them or lie so they can avoid getting caught the next time. I learned this the hard way with my first son. And it shaped him. We all have childhood trauma, whether it’s being spanked, shamed or yelled at, set to time-out or being grounded. I remember it made me more angry and misunderstood as a child. Some of those 10 things triggered something inside you when you got emotional. It touched me so deeply. I follow you since day 1 and I’ve noticed your (and mine too☺️) parenting style evolved so much since having Theo! Delilah, I’m so very proud of you!❤️ Continue taking care of yourself and connecting with those beautiful, pure children God has given you and lead them with love.❤️ Have a beautiful day.❤️
I can’t wait to watch this! My husband and I recently got married and I don’t take birth control so honestly, whenever a kid comes they come! 😂 I love informative videos like this, mostly embracing motherhood! Wish I had woman like you around me, so hard making friends (mostly with churches still closed.)
This video I cried the whole video thank you for making this mama😭 I needed to hear all of this, children are a blessing for God I truly know why God gave me my babies I needed them more than they needed me!
When i was pregnant, i was thinking omg someone will love me the way i love my mom. But actually now i realized how much my mom loves me, because the love for your kid is totally another level and can't be described ❤️ So my daughter thought me what love actually is
My son has taught me that everyday is a new day and you always get a fresh start - it’s been a life changing mental shift for me. Hoping to remember this as baby n.2 joins us very soon and we will be sleep deprived! 💚
It is hard to be parents but I appreciate that I can have such a wonderful time to spend with the most loving kids and husband. I like your thoughts a lot!!
I love this!! It is so easy to think about the negative things with having kid(s). It’s refreshing to hear positive thoughts about what our kid(s) do teach us. I needed to hear this.
What a beautiful video ❤️ So emotional, I got tears in my eyes a few times, I’m watching while nursing my 5 days old baby. I also have a 3 year old son. Now that the baby is here I can really feel how quickly time goes by. They grow so fast . I want to practice more gratitude for my wonderful children, make time to play with them and really be there for them. As you said, we’ll never look back and regret not doing the dishes 😉 Thank you for sharing xx
I really needed this video. Sometimes (okay all the time) it's nice hearing other moms experiences and giving tips/ideas to be better moms. It motivates me to want to be better or try more on the days I feel like I can't. It's like watching work out videos and wanting to work out to get your goal. But this is mommy goals.
My children have taught me how important patience is! Not only are they learning but so am I. I may get overwhelmed but I know they do to because they don’t understand everything that I do.
I LOVE that someone is talking louder about the Joy's of children and motherhood instead of the negative aspects. It's nice for expecting moms to actually hear the uplifting parts💕
Yes!!! I remember when I was pregnant I only heard the negatives and the “wait til she.....” Now my baby is close to a year old and still that’s what I hear “your home is gonna be messy with toys” “oh let’s see what you have to move around your home because she’s gonna want to break everything “ I’m like really? Ugh
Aaaww! Maybe it’s because they know hard days will also come and they don’t want you to feel alone? Or they just complain too much? 🤣 There are very hard days but I LOVE motherhood. My little boy is 17 months and it’s been the best part of my life by far.
@@adrianal3al when I told my friends that me and my partner want to start a family they were the same. "Oh you will never sleep again, your house will be a mess....wait until this and that happens. Not sure if they want sympathy for their struggle or think that I'm stupid or naive, but it's a disheartening thing to do. Loved this video so much because it highlighted good things about being a parent.
yes. yesyesyes.
It is nice! Where I live ppl only talk about the joys and blessing that kids are - which makes me feel really bad when I am not having my best day :-/
what my kids have taught me: sleep is important to be a decent human😂😊
Haha!!! 😂 indeed.
Yes, this one is so true!!! For them and for us!! I have only had one chunk of a few months of solid sleep in the last 4 years! That was between my kids when my eldest slept through at 9-14 months. That was it and he started not sleeping again, then enter baby number two who has slept only a few nights in his 2 years, which always coincided with bad dreams from the other.
Thanks for this. I hear so many negative things about parenthood. Very nice to hear some good things as well.
Sameeee 😂
Right??? Lack of sleep can really make you CRAZY 😅
I don’t have any children but this whole video had me fighting back tears. This is exactly why I know with every fiber of my being that my calling in life is to be a mother. While it breaks my heart that it hasn’t happened yet I know that children will come into my life at the exact moment they are destined to.
Kasandra Campbell that’s a really good attitude. It will get you through the heartbreak until your little one makes their way to you.
This is exactly how I was.. it will happen for you. At exactly the right time. Just like it did for me
I believe in destiny, it'll happen when the time is right. The fact that you want to be a mom so badly makes me feel you will be a wonderful mom. ❤️
I was there girl! My husband, after we were married, changed his mind and didn't think he wanted kids. I've known since childhood that raising and caring for a family was all I wanted. I tried to accept that my life could be without children and i couldn't so we rarely talked about it. After 5 years of trying to accept what he wanted, I went to a job interview and they asked where I saw myself in 5 years and i said without thinking that I wanted to be home with my children and homeschool them. Obviously didn't get the job but it really put into perspective that I did know what my role was in this world and what I wanted in my heart more than anything. So I laid out my 5 year plan to make having kids financially possible and I shared that with my husband. And I knew I couldn't convince him because this desire was a feeling that you can't logically convince someone if. So I gave it to God and I asked a few friends to be praying with me. I prayed everyday that He would open my husband's heart to understand this feeling. I prayed God would put a burning passion in his heart to use his talents to glorify God. And I asked God to use me however I could be used to shine His light to the world. Within a few months everything came together and he really had a change of heart. I can't even express how happy I was when he told me he wants kids now. It's been about 1.5 years since then and our little girl should be arriving any day now.
Take heart, be patient, and protest to God everyday. He is loving and as I reminded myself when I felt low and doubtful that things would change: I know this is what I was made for. This is the strongest desire in my heart. I will be dutiful and faithful to God and his commandments he has asked of me. He wants good for me and loves me more than I can comprehend. He will not leave me barren. Even if I'm as old as Sarah, God will bless my womb.
Jessica McElroy I had a similar talk to my SO right before we got engaged. He was terrified of having kids cus he didn’t want to be a bad dad and mess then up like so many do. He didn’t realize that the level of care and concern he had for providing a wonderful life to a child was proof that he wouldn’t be a screw up. I have accepted that if biological children are not in our plan that we will adopt. He was adopted so he fully understands that decision. I’m so happy to hear you have been blessed and your baby girl will bring so much light into your life.
My children won’t remember my weight, my messy hair days, if I accidentally burnt dinner, or the days I’m a little grouchier than I should’ve been... They will remember that mommy told the best stories. That no matter what, I was always there! That cuddle time was my favorite. ❤️ We were made for our babies, and they for us.
What being a parent has taught me is that if they’re quiet they’re usually up to something 😂
😂😂😂😂 that's so true it cracked my ribs!
Thank you for this. I was so scared when I found out I was pregnant. Around that time a person who matters so much to me said that I would never be able to raise someone. That broke me in infinite pieces. A month later I was pregnant. And 22 yrs old, in a serious and stable relationship, which helped me so much through it all. I found your channel months ago and thanks to you I switched my perspective to one of excitement, connection, love. I'm due in 9 weeks, my father is the pediatrician. I'm so thankful to God for this opportunity to be a mom. I don't think my life could've gone any better than this. I send you so much love and all my gratitude because you helped me heal deep wounds. God bless you, from México.
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry for that terribly hurtful comment. 😥
I'm so sorry someone said that to you, that's awful...
I had my baby at 22 (I'm only 23 now) and now he's 6 months old. It goes by so fast and you're are going to have such a wonderful time! Being in our early 20's means we generally have more energy to play with them which is a blessing! You will be an amazing mother and I can't wait for you to meet your little love ❤
I’m really sorry they said that. People can change so much that there’s never a reason to think someone CANT be a parent. And often the turning point is a child for so many people. And most likely you didn’t earn that comment in any of your behavior anyway, people can be so harsh. 😭
I'm just 17 and nowhere close to this but I love how you think you're a mom even as you're pregnant....a lot of women will say 'I'm going to be a mom' and somehow I feel that tampers with our mentality and makes the baby a lot less significant in terms of someone who's not ready and considering aborting. Love your positivity ❣️
Praying for you! Sending love!
My little one is almost 1 year and he has taught me the true meaning of unconditional love
Why am I single with no children but LOVE watching these type of videos (and your channel in general!!😂)❤️
same! 😂
Trust in God, He will bring the right one 😊
My kids have taught me that the little worries in life don’t matter. My kids happiness is first.
My daughter has taught me that I must be dependable on God just as much as she is dependable on me.
Love your videos, greetings from California 👋🏽
My daughter has taught me that I’m good enough - when I feel crappy or insecure, her looking up to me with love just shows me that my parenting is good enough for her and it just gives me confidence. She’s taught me lots of patience and the meaning of unconditional and infinite love.
I learned to rethink all the things that have the "that's how it's done" stamp. It does not have to be a strict way to do things ot to see things. Children have this unique vision. I am now bending down to see how they see the world.
I've learned to let go of control and embrace the chaos, lol but also to be way more organized and plan ahead of time so that I'm not running into these last minute rush hours with my kids.
I've been having a rough week being 32 weeks pregnant along with my almost 2 year old girl. She throws fits and gets into everything and I've been overwhelmed and hateful. I just feel like I'm not cut out to be a mom some days. This video came at the right time and has shown me how I need to change my perspective, truly!
I got absolutely emotional so many times watching this. Because all the while I'm fuming about something she did and her reaping the percussions of it. It takes her less than no time to forget, forgive and be kind.
My child is constantly teaching me forgiveness, grace and kindness. Something that is so fundamental in all of our lives that I forget to give myself too often.
I'm sorry for the long post! But thank you so much for sharing this!! It was God sent and I hope he continues to bless you all and help you grow into a closer and stronger family no matter the circumstances. 💛💛
❤️❤️❤️
I feel you! I habe a 2 year old too, and every week multiple times i think i‘m not made to be a mom 🙈
@@barbaraariobazzoni6690 Mom guilt is horrible! I hope the best for you and your little one. 💛
I feel you so much and on this! I get so frustrated and grumpy and then I feel like the worst mom in the world. It took one of my friends who doesn’t have children to tell me don’t take it to heart tomorrow’s a new day and she won’t even care.
When you got emotional about your children moving out I literally started crying my eyes out :'D Love my baby so much it hurts.
I just LOVE you. Truly. I found your channel at the beginning of quarantine and it’s been so helpful for me! I’m pregnant with my first baby due within the next two weeks and you’ve helped educate and make me more excited for motherhood ❤️
Lovely
I found her channel when quarantine in my county of California started too. I have 7 weeks left of my third pregnancy now and with two older ones, I needed a video like this.
How exciting! Huge congrats!!
Hope your delivery goes well! Take it easy on yourself and don't beat yourself up for not doing chores like I did!
I have a 5 month old baby and she has already taught me so much!! People kept telling me the time goes by so fast with babies, and that is 100% true. I am learning to enjoy every single moment with my baby...to cuddle her, hold her, play with her and to be the mother that she needs.
My kids taught me to not go into parenthood with expectations. One of my kids is autistic and it took me out of the headspace about obsessing about milestones and the future and just enjoy my kids and live in the present because it's so easy to compare your kids with others!
This was so beautiful and touching. I am pregnant at the moment and really enjoyed hearing positive things about motherhood in the middle of so much worry we are burden with. I wish the best for your great family 😊
I adore this 🥰 Due in October...what an adventure it’s going to be!
Not a mom but a teacher to 5 and 6 year olds for the past 12 years and an aunt to many. It took me a while to appreciate the fact that these little kids want to play and be with me, a boring adult. It’s quite a compliment, in my opinion.
My child has taught me to see the best in every situation. We have such a limited time on earth with our children, and we shouldn't spend the whole time complaining when theres so much to be grateful and thankful for!
My daughter has taught me to live in the moment and let go of expectations. 🥰
My 8 months baby boy thought me patience, to calm down and that the most simple things can make you the most happy.
The flower story made me cry, I've been feeling that way alot lately and I think I needed to hear that sweet story♡
I don't have children yet but am a caretaker for a 3 year old boy. In South Africa schools were closed for 2-3 months before recently reopening. Somedays felt long but it has brought us so close and so many opportunities for patience and honesty. When I was having a difficult moment, I would remember the manner in which you live life with your children, accepting the overwhelming moments, simply trying again to lead with love. Thank you! ☺️
I’ve been a mother for 12 days, and my little Bradley has already taught me so much. He taught me that I am a strong woman! I had a very traumatic & long, natural delivery and as hard, intense & painful it was, I would do it all again!
Well done and congratulations mama!
What a precious gift you have in learning these things so early on. My youngest of 3 is going to be 16 this year, the other 2 are married and out of the house. I look around and am shocked to see just how quickly time has flown by and how I wish I would have taken more time to soak in every last second of their childhood.
You're an awesome mommy and very blessed! Soak it all in and enjoy every second!
My daughter has taught me acceptance. Of literally everything; of oneself, of others of failures and poverty. But I honestly think of myself above everything, it’s so much easier to enjoy others if you have fully accepted who you are. Kudos to my 4 year old.
What my kids have taught me : to think twice before saying any thing😂💛
Soooo true! And sometimes scary!😂😬
Lol! Yes!
Videos like yours about the beauty of motherhood are SO NEEDED. Most of what I see on the internet is women who hated being pregnant, had birth turn out not how they wanted to, who hate having to take care of kids all the time, who say they constantly grieve not being who they used to be... I mean, I'm sure all those things can and do happen, but man, people love to complain. And sometimes (often) they forget to mention any of the good stuff. It's pretty discouraging for young women like me looking forward to starting a family. I love hearing more women with attitudes of "yeah, it was so hard, and so painful... but I would do it all again. I got stronger from that pain. I grew from that exhaustion like I never could without it. The suffering is 1000% worth it."
I’m getting married in October and you have been an example to me of mom and wife!
I pra that God bless you and your family and keep using you and this platform for His glory! 🙌🏽🥰
What a beautiful mindset to have. 🌿🌱💐Becoming a mother has changed me for the better in so many ways, often through hard situations, but I am so grateful for the lessons those moments have and continue to teach me. I can completely relate with struggling to not always have to finish every to do list even at the expense of connecting and loving my child to the best of my ability. Thank you so much for the richness this video contains. 💕💕🌿
This was so brilliant. I am so sick of hearing people call their kids arseholes and slag them off and complain to other people that “you’ll never feel awake again” and all this. This actually makes me want to have children when no one else on the internet does!! So, thanks 👏🏻
Oh goodness I needed to hear #4 so bad. I've been so resentful towards my husband lately because I recently transitioned to being a SAHM and took on more of the chores. I can't do it all in one day and I just keep feeling like I'm so behind. I'm constantly overwhelmed with what needs to get done that I'm always moving and always exhausted. Then I don't enjoy my time with my son because I just want to relax on my phone. Hes so little only once and I'm just wasting my time on everything else 😭
Thank you. I have a 6 month old son and wow I really needed to hear this today. I got emotional thinking about how one day he won’t need me, just like you did. Motherhood truly is the greatest gift.
I’m 20 weeks pregnant right now with my first and this is just making me so excited!!!
I don't have children myself but as an introvert who becomes so overwhelmed by people, the slower kinder simplest things in life bring me peace and comfort, this video was such a comfort blanket to me, thank you x
Even the most mundane things are so incredible the first time you experience it: first time you taste a new food, watching the leaves of a tree blow in the wind, the sound of footsteps are all exciting. My little one is so enthusiastic and unafraid to explore and learn and experience life.
Im sitting here with my 5 day old sleeping newborn as my 2 year old daughter plays in the backyard with her aunt. I cried with you lol. Your mentality is exactly how i feel about my children and they really showed me what true genuine happiness is... What life is all about! They make me a better person
My kids taught me to love. I had a bit of a crazy upbringing and my kids taught me how to love
My daughter has shown me how to Love ! Express my love publicly, I keep everything to myself but she brings every piece of happiness and love out.
can you make a video on how you teach your children about faith? how did you introduce it and start? im thinking about how i’m gonna start even if she isn’t here yet but she will soon! 💗
I have a 15 month old and we pray with him every night, explain how all the things that we see, smell and eat were created for us by God because he loves us, and read Bible stories. I hope that helps!
We got a toodler bible, which has colorful pictures to help keep them entertain, we read it to our daughter from day one. Also praying for our meals, praying first thing in the morning and at night time, to thank God for another day/protection/provisions/our loved ones. There are many kids' worship songs on RUclips😊
At the end of the day though, it is about being consistent and living out that Faith we want to teach them, because they learn more by watching us than hearing us tell them about it😉👍
We have the Jesus Storybook Bible and we started reading a story every night as he was nursing before bed. He has a hard time sitting still when he’s tired so that ended up being a simple way to do it consistently and not be frustrated every single night! Now we sing a song together, read the story, and pray quickly before his patience wears thin. It’s a good, simple little habit. We don’t worry about doing EVERY night, just every night we’re home in time. Don’t stress it and put too much pressure on it. Also praying and thanking God for meals and playing worship music are simple ways that they can hear about Jesus all the time!
As a child who grew up in a Christian household one of my suggestions would be to lead by example. I grew up watching my mom pray and read her Bible daily. Of course she actively taught us things as well but my most solid memory of true faith is her daily and quiet devotion.
Love it. I watched till the end and I totally relate it with myself as a Mother of 20 months old baby toddler🥰my daughter taught me many lessons of life throughout journey till today such as-1. Be regular
2. Have routine
3. Be in the moment Live in the Present
4. Selflessness
5. Everyone is equal (on their behavior perspective) for a child
6. PATIENCE (ધીરજ)
7. Love yourself
8. Don’t worry
9. Be happy in the presence
10. Ask and get
11. Express yourself
12. Listen
13. Learn
14. Find joy in the little things
15. Child likes Faith/Trust
16. Sleep properly
17. Gratitude
18. Be yourself
i don't have children, but one thing you have taught me is to appreciate and love my parents more. i already did love them a lot, but never having been a parent myself, i never really thought about the little moments and the little things they love and miss and will treasure for their entire lives. i love my family, and i'm very grateful you have opened my eyes to how precious days are for all of us, not just parents and not just us as individuals. lots of love to you 💕
Best most relatable video I’ve ever seen.
The poem that says “ he is just a little boy, for such a little while” .... makes me cry so much !!! Loved this. ❤️
I love that you didn’t edit out or redo the moments that you were getting emotional, it’s clear in your everyday interactions that your love runs deep for those babies. It’s crazy how mushy they make you! I cry about stuff I would NEVER cry about before and I don’t even care how crazy I appear to people. 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing the good Delilah, we need more you in the world.
My baby is turning 1 exactly a month from now. I love him soooo much. I'm excited to have more 'adventures' with him. I have times where I feel like i'm a useless mom because i don't think i'm enough for my baby. But every time i see my baby smiling and laughing, i know that i am enough and worthy.
I need this reminder right now. I am currently on my 1st trimester for my 2n baby and I feel overwhelmed because I work from home and takes care of my toddler. I am tired all the time... but I am thankful that I am blessed to have children. I am excited to see my 2nd one and the bond they will form.
Wow... this is so soothing to watch. It reminded me how beautifully we can see the life even through hard times
Thanks, for sharing, Three of my adult daughters have moved out of our home. They left for the city(3 yrs. ago). I soo miss them ( I have 3 boys at home). I miss my girls and what us girls did together(boys are not the same). We live on a 200 acre beef farm. They went from a small town of less then 500 people population to 2+ million. I once asked them if we moved closer to them would they live with us. I was soo surprised that they said, "Yes without a doubt"! .
This video literally made me so emotional thinking about my kids which are around that same age. But they have definitely thought me to be patient. I never knew a little person would test my patience so much lol.
😂
This was a beautiful video with some very important life lessons. 💕
I'm 41w+5d with my girl and our first and she has already taught me a couple big lessons: patience and that you can't always control how things work out, some things are out of our hands. I had all these dates and things in my head of when I would like her to come or what days I didn't want her to come for the past month. Her going over her due date by almost 2 weeks has taught me to be patient and wait, and that there is no sense worrying about things that are out of my control. It's not about me or what I would prefer. I can't wait to learn so many more lessons from her.
This video brought a tear to my eye. I am a new mum to a little boy now 6 months and he has taught me that everything else can wait he's the most important thing in my life now
Playing with my daughter the other day, she leant over, gave me a cuddle and said "thanks for playing with me mum". It melted my heart ❤ Being present with them is all they want from us.
This is the proof that a video can change your way you’re thinking. I never thought about this, thank you for giving me this push to wake up and to pay more attention to my child.❤️
I feel like this video is very important. It shows that you grow when becoming a parent. You learn from your kids and mistakes which is so important.
I relate so much.. my daughter melts my heart with everything she does. I don't know if anyone has seen the movie The Help but I love when the little girl is told repeatedly "you is kind you is smart you is important" I tell my daughter that
I'm not a momma, but I'm the oldest out of 7 children, and the last 2 kids have taught me how crazy different children are! It's amazing, and I love each aspect of each kid!
time and time again people told me to enjoy every moment. thus, from the beginning i have looked at the bright side of every moment. Of course, i have had to stop and find the positive, but it has made motherhood so much better for me. The hard times become some of the best times
My little babe taught me to slow down and love life more. I live with chronic pain and before my son I wanted everyday to go by fast. Now I take things slow and love the little things god brings our way 💛
Oh man ! I absolutely love this video and totally agree with you and feel you. My baby girl recently turned 1yo and I tell myself every day to appreciate those little moments and don’t get frustrated with her. Things have been rough recently and I constantly remind myself that soon she won’t need me and I know how much I am going to miss this. Thank you for this video , I really needed it. ❤️
Have been on the journey of motherhood for about 10 months now and my beautiful daughter has taught me to value myself. I struggled with some mental health before getting pregnant and couldn’t figure out what I was worth, or what my life really meant to others. It made it difficult to connect with those around me, especially my parents. Ever since having my baby girl, I’ve witnessed the miracle that is the creation of a human being inside of my body, and then the evolutionary transformation that occurs once we are born. Her existence is everything to me, as mine is to those who love me. I’ve never felt such a strong desire to live and envision my future. She has been my blessing and my awakening all at once. I know my life will not always be easy, but I am so darn exited to see where it takes me and my little family. 👨👩👧🕊
I needed this video today after my 2 year old and I had a bumpy moment. Tantrums are no joking matter but I gave in as soon as the hyperventilating started. In that moment my bad mood went out the window and all i could do is cuddle with him and he fell asleep. He has taught me to be patient but most importantly kind, to be ki d to others and especially them. Thank you and new subscribers here.
I LOVE this video. I’m not a mom yet but the kids I’m a counselor for at summer camp have taught me to think before I speak or act on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL and I know they’re training me to be the best mom I can be in the future.
My children have taught me humility. That it is so much more fruitful to admit when I'm wrong or to say sorry to my child than it is to be proud and be "right". Also to look at myself as a child in my own relationship with God, who also needs correction and love and reassurance. Helps me to give my kids what I myself need from the Father
Beautiful video. I sent it to all my mama friends. I was tearing up every time you teared up. My kids have taught me quick forgiveness, patience (work in progress) , that they are their own little small person and they also deserve great respect, they taught me to LISTEN, to read between the lines and to feel their emotions.
I’m due with my first August 6 and your videos make me so excited to meet my baby!
I just wanted to thank you for today's video❤ I truly believe God has a way of speaking to me through your videos and content. On the roughest days I always end up finding myself watching a video or reading a post that really touches my heart and helps me strive to be a better mother and have a better day. Thank you, truly ❤
That’s amazing 😭❤️
My little one has taught me to appreciate every hug and cuddle and to not worry about the house being a mess if they need my attention because they are more important and valuable than dishes. It is important to have a tidy clean house but what's the point of having a spotless house when you are ignoring your children.
I have a 2.5 year old little boy and a 10 month old (Theo!!) and just adore watching you. Man, you made me tear up. I felt this so hard.
And I agree 💯 that kindness towards our kids always wins. Love your channel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my first, and this video just warmed my heart and eased my anxiety about motherhood so much 💕
Sweet Delilah….I’ve been binge watching all of your videos. And I’m at a moment in my life where I have HUGE baby fever. 😭🍼👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽
Despite how scary the world is right now, I really do know that children ARE gifts of God. ✨
I just turned 26 and don’t want to get any older without having children. I think you having babies at such a young age was the best part! When they’re 20 years old you’ll barely be 40! And you being a young mom is so sweet because you’re their best friend.
Thank you for this video.
It really just opens a conversation that not many moms talk about. I wish they spoke about the good things more often about raising their children.
Thank you Delilah and May God continue to bless you and your sweet family all the work and sacrifice you’ve done and will continue to do. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I love how wise you are with your young age. Beautiful soul!
I am overjoyed to be able to answer your question as my first child was born just 6 days ago and I had wanted to be a mother so badly. So far my son has taught me that I am a fast learner even though there’s a lot I don’t know, and also that something can be the hardest and most joyful at the same time. I realize that I thought people were paying lip service or exaggerating when they said those cheesy things but now I can see they really weren’t. I’ve never been this happy.
This video is so special and touching. I definitely agree with you one hundred percent. Our children teach us so much. Listening to this has made me open my eyes, want to hug my little one and appreciate my time with her. It’s hard sometimes being a stay at home mom, but we only get this time with them once. Thanks Delilah, for such a beautiful and honest video.
Why am I crying ?! So lovely. Children really are the best. Thank you making a video highlighting that. It’s not easy but it’s worth it.
i REALLY needed this today….it’s been a really tough season of motherhood but you have helped me to focus on what a blessing from GOD children are💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏
My daughter has taught me to be content with what we have. Not always to be itching for the next thing, next trip, etc. just enjoy right now
Thank you so much! It was such a heart melting video. I got so emotional remembering everything what my kid taught me.
My little one also taught me not to be such a perfectionist, which I was for many years. Now always say to myself "It is ok that not everything Ideally laying on its places. It is ok not to have ideal always clean house. It is ok not to have ideally fold or ideally ironed clothing and etc." That is huge for me. Also, he taught me to relax sometimes and some days maybe not to be productive at all.
Watching this 37 weeks pregnant with our first and I can’t wait to experience this motherly love so soon!
this video was so precious and heartfelt. one of the most wholesome things on the internet. i loved it!
1) there is no such thing as control
2) rushing is bad for mental health
3) sleep is crucial for a clear mind and a strong body
Side note: I LOVE your style. So relaxed, naturally beautiful 🤍
This is such a beautiful video. I was so on the fence and scared of having kids for the longest time. But I realized that I was only focusing on fear, my childhood, and what was making me afraid, but not enough on what is beautiful, how much I and they can provide, and all the amazing things about being a parent and raising the next generation!
💕
I’m so emotional watching this. You are 100% right. You definitely hit the nail on every topic. My kids have taught me to be selfless. My whole day revolves around my kids. I love how much more purpose i have and it’s all thanks to them ❤️
Patience, kindness, carelessness
Being a mother taught me how big my responsibility is towards my kids, how it’s my job to reparent and self-regulate myself, to change my beliefs on how to raise “good kids”. That it’s possible to set limits with empathy and raise them without punishments (or rewards). Without punishment, how can they learn? I can assure you these tiny humans learn so much more and they will not resent you for punishing them or lie so they can avoid getting caught the next time. I learned this the hard way with my first son. And it shaped him. We all have childhood trauma, whether it’s being spanked, shamed or yelled at, set to time-out or being grounded. I remember it made me more angry and misunderstood as a child. Some of those 10 things triggered something inside you when you got emotional. It touched me so deeply. I follow you since day 1 and I’ve noticed your (and mine too☺️) parenting style evolved so much since having Theo! Delilah, I’m so very proud of you!❤️ Continue taking care of yourself and connecting with those beautiful, pure children God has given you and lead them with love.❤️
Have a beautiful day.❤️
I can’t wait to watch this! My husband and I recently got married and I don’t take birth control so honestly, whenever a kid comes they come! 😂 I love informative videos like this, mostly embracing motherhood! Wish I had woman like you around me, so hard making friends (mostly with churches still closed.)
Even befor my son was born he had two star brother/sisters and they taught me that life is not something you can plan.
This video I cried the whole video thank you for making this mama😭 I needed to hear all of this, children are a blessing for God I truly know why God gave me my babies I needed them more than they needed me!
When i was pregnant, i was thinking omg someone will love me the way i love my mom. But actually now i realized how much my mom loves me, because the love for your kid is totally another level and can't be described ❤️ So my daughter thought me what love actually is
My son has taught me that everyday is a new day and you always get a fresh start - it’s been a life changing mental shift for me. Hoping to remember this as baby n.2 joins us very soon and we will be sleep deprived! 💚
It is hard to be parents but I appreciate that I can have such a wonderful time to spend with the most loving kids and husband. I like your thoughts a lot!!
Well this made me tear up! 😊
Thank you soo much for sharing!
This is exactly what I needed to hear today 💜
I love this!! It is so easy to think about the negative things with having kid(s).
It’s refreshing to hear positive thoughts
about what our kid(s) do teach us. I needed to hear this.
What a beautiful video ❤️ So emotional, I got tears in my eyes a few times, I’m watching while nursing my 5 days old baby. I also have a 3 year old son. Now that the baby is here I can really feel how quickly time goes by. They grow so fast . I want to practice more gratitude for my wonderful children, make time to play with them and really be there for them. As you said, we’ll never look back and regret not doing the dishes 😉 Thank you for sharing xx
I really needed this video. Sometimes (okay all the time) it's nice hearing other moms experiences and giving tips/ideas to be better moms. It motivates me to want to be better or try more on the days I feel like I can't. It's like watching work out videos and wanting to work out to get your goal. But this is mommy goals.
My children have taught me how important patience is! Not only are they learning but so am I. I may get overwhelmed but I know they do to because they don’t understand everything that I do.
