Know What You Bring to the Table

September 14, 2022

While I'm on my way to work yesterday, a thought came to help my mind think and let my blood boil. I bet many of you would agree when I say that being a mom requires a lot of effort.

I know a mom who's feeling small because her husband constantly counts his efforts for the family. She feels small because she can't multi-task just like her husband. She has a job but still, she thinks it isn't enough. Her husband makes her feel that her hustle and efforts are not maximized. He wanted her to earn more.

What I don't like about the situation is that the wife agrees with her husband. She thinks that she isn't worthy and she's not doing enough when in fact after and before going to work, she takes care of the household and their baby.

Giving birth alone is a sacrifice. It's like half of you is buried. There's a tendency that you'll never come out victorious. Taking care of a baby is another arduous task. Not to mention the household chores she has to do. Her husband doesn't even lend a hand. He is convinced that his financial support for the family is enough for him not to help his wife at home. And yet he has the guts to make her wife feel small due to the little things she offers to the family.

I hope every woman would be reminded of what we bring to the table when all else fails. Outworth isn't defined by the amount of money we contribute to our family. We should feel small. We shouldn't let anyone belittle us.

Motherhood alone entails sacrifice. Some women even have to give up personal careers and wildest dreams to take care of the family. We go through a lot. Don't be blinded by the lies some immature men feed you.

Take courage and know your worth. Don't cry in the corner doubting your capabilities. Moms are super moms regardless of how much money they contribute to the household. Their sacrifice, patience and dedication are enough. They're queens and they don't deserve to be belittled by men.

To all the mothers out there, don't worry. Don't question your worth. Just keep doing what you think will be good for you and your child. The sleepless nights and the arduous task will pay off soon. You will be rewarded through your dedication and unwavering love. Shut the chaos and the voices that don't matter. Do your thing.
