Mommy Is TIRED 😂
xoxo your adhd bestie who’s child never wants to sleep 💤
As a mom who often finds herself in the trenches of sleepless nights, I completely relate to the exhaustion and humor in trying to get a toddler to bed. When my child’s bedtime stretches late into the night, it’s almost always accompanied by a series of last requests—from a glass of water to an extra hug—that can feel endless. This uncanny timing of chaos around bedtime, like forgetting to put the tooth under the pillow, adds an extra layer of parenting adventures. I remember one night when my child was equally insistent, calling out repeatedly for things that seemed so small yet so important to them, like their pillow or a final kiss goodnight. It’s during these moments I learned to embrace patience and find humor in these parenting hurdles. For parents with ADHD, like the author mentions, the struggle is even more real. The blend of managing our own brain's wiring while meeting our child’s needs creates a powerful mix of fatigue and empathy. I've found that sharing these experiences with other parents, especially in supportive communities like #momtok, helps normalize the chaos and reminds us that we’re not alone. When the tooth fairy hit a snag because we forgot to put the tooth under the pillow, it was a light moment where the family had to improvise quickly. Those little traditions, while sometimes imperfect, are precious memories that make parenting uniquely beautiful. It’s all about rolling with what comes, finding joy in imperfections, and knowing that every tired mom and restless child moment is part of the journey.
