Being a high maintenance mom is not for the weak

2025/4/25 Edited to

... Read moreBeing a high maintenance mom comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when toddlers are involved. Picture this: your little one excitedly tugs on your hair extensions, and in the split second of surprise, feelings of annoyance quickly turn to understanding. Accidents happen, and it's essential to embrace these moments with humor rather than frustration. Parenting is a journey filled with ups and downs; maintaining personal style while raising a toddler can be tough, but it's also part of what makes you unique. This balance between caring for yourself and your child fosters a powerful bond. You learn to appreciate the beautiful chaos and find joy in the little moments. Additionally, seeking out the support of fellow moms, sharing stories, and even finding beauty tips suited for busy schedules can significantly ease your daily life. Celebrating your identity as a high maintenance mom doesn’t mean neglecting your responsibilities; it’s about redefining what being a 'good mom' means to you. Engaging with communities, whether online or in person, allows you to connect over shared experiences and build lasting friendships. Embrace this journey, imperfections and all, for it is these experiences that shape you into a resilient and inspiring mother.

Being “Low Maintenance” Isn’t Always a Good Thing
Hot take: “low maintenance” sounds cute, but it can actually be a trap. 🙃 There’s a difference between being chill and just ignoring your own needs. It becomes a problem when you: Keep quiet instead of speaking up Settle for half-hearted effort Hide what you really want Mistake “peace”

PSA: being low maintenance is not a personality trait. It’s a trauma response.
So you got quiet about what you needed…I know I sure did. You stopped asking. You stopped expecting. You made yourself easy to be around by making yourself impossible to actually know. And somewhere along the way you started calling it your personality. “I don’t really have a preference.” “I’m g
