Listen up, and listen well because I’m only going to say this once, and it’s crucial you understand every single word. If your husband thinks you’re contributing nothing while you’re the cornerstone of your family’s daily life, then we’ve got a serious problem here.
First off, let’s get something straight: being a stay-at-home mom is not just a job; it’s THE job that keeps the world spinning. You’re up at the crack of dawn, and you don’t clock out until the stars are shining. That’s a commitment not everyone is cut out for. You’re the first responder, the teacher, the chef, the psychologist, and the guardian angel all rolled into one. You tell me another job that requires that kind of versatility and endurance. I’ll wait.
And this notion of “just sucking resources”? Please. The work you’re doing now is investing in the future. You’re molding the next generation, ensuring that those kids are grounded, well-fed, educated, and above all, loved. You can’t put a price tag on that. The bills? Sure, they’re important, but they’re a short-term perspective. What you’re building is a legacy, something that lasts beyond the due dates and balance sheets.
Now, here’s what you’re going to do. You’re going to sit down with your husband and lay it out plain and simple. Communication is king. Tell him exactly what your day involves, but more importantly, show him the value of what you do. Maybe he needs a day in your shoes to truly understand the magnitude of your role.
And yes, respect and appreciation should be mutual. It’s not about turning this into a competition of who does more, but acknowledging that each role within a family is crucial and deserves respect.
But here’s the kicker – don’t just stop there. While you’re handling the home front like the boss that you are, remember to carve out something for yourself too. Your dreams, your aspirations, they matter. It’s easy to get lost in the service of others, but the woman you are, the dreams you have, they’re just as important. Find that thing that sets your soul on fire, alongside being the superhero mom you already are.
In a world that often overlooks the silent warriors, know your worth, stand tall, and never let anyone tell you you’re “just” anything. You’re the backbone, the heartbeat, and the soul of your family. Now go out there and own it, and if anyone questions your value again, you send them my way. I’ve got a few choice words for them, I’m super protective of my Slay motivation tribe ☺️.
