As moms, we talk about mom life all the time. We share photos of our kids on social media, and joke about battling mom brain, being “on” from sunup to sundown, and the seemingly insurmountable task that is bedtime.
Here’s something we moms never seem to talk about, though: how pissed off we are.
If we’re being totally honest, we’re exhausted from constantly striving to “balance” the demands of our jobs with the needs of our families, and feeling like we have to say no to the things we want to do. We’re broken records when it comes to tidiness, chores, getting homework done, and refereeing the incessant bickering between our kids.
We probably don’t even want to admit to ourselves how irritating (and, quite frankly, infuriating) the challenges of motherhood are.
But mom rage is real.
And if you’re feeling it, you’re not alone, mama. It’s normal to feel anger, even about motherhood. I say we get real in 2023 and talk about it!
That’s why I recently wrote an essay for CafeMom about mom rage and my recent experience at a rage room, which helped me get out my anger and regain patience and joy in the weeks that followed.
Check it out to learn how you can get out your anger, even if you don’t have a rage room nearby. Mom rage is real, but once you honor it by listening to what it’s telling you, it doesn’t get to claim a hold on you anymore. Be intentional about getting those feelings out so you can finally release them.
