Oh my goddess yes of course so many times. One I remember clearly is that when we found out my son had dyslexia. While most moms were super supportive, others questioned why we waiting till the following year to switch his school. Truth is, its not that easy switching schools or even getting into a specialized school. It takes months of applying and touring.

I think all moms are inspiring. Whether they work or stay home or do a little of both. Mothering is incredibly demanding and I praise all women from all walks of life who get up every morning to be present and loving in all the ways they know how.

I actually went against advice almost immediately. I was lucky enough to have my mom in my ear telling me to not compare my baby to others and do what works for me. I was concerned my son wasn’t hitting his milestones, and while my pediatrician told me everything was fine, I decided to seek a second opinion and turned out he wound up having low muscle tone and needed early intervention. Happy to have listened to my motherly instincts and with that early help, he is totally fine now!
