Mother’s Day Effers

That barista who asked you to wear a mask, yeah, they just want to make your day with a good coffee and a smile. They left their children emergently with a friendly neighbor after their babysitter bailed, it’s been a rough morning.  They just want to get paid, so they follow their companies rules regardless of their opinion. It’s been over a year of handling opiniated customers and they are exhausted. #coffeeissanity

That local business employee who couldn’t offer you a complimentary mask after a year of closures due to staffing, and sidewalk pickups only, the owners can barely afford to pay their employees and business costs, let alone supply their customers with masks. #shopsmall

The person who you just looked up and down instead of greeting them with a simple smile just left a bad abusive relationship and is very insecure about their body. They saw your eyes lay judgement and you triggered their depression. It was their first time out of the house in a month. #mentalillnessisntseen

The woman in line with you getting groceries recently miscarried after months of trying to get pregnant and you said to her in desperation, “oh my God these kids, I need a glass of freaking wine.” She only dreams of being a mother wrangling children at the store. #lookingfortherainbow

The teenager you glorified drinking alcohol to when you asked them how many beer kegs will be at their HIGHSCHOOL graduation came home to a mother who has worked her ass off trying to raise her children to respect the laws and hopes they don’t rush themselves into adulting, especially when alcoholism runs in their family history. #adultingsucks #mamatries

All those conversations where you repeatedly said, “you can’t wait until they are 18” to your friends, your child hears you and it says you’ll give up on them and they won’t matter. Especially when you’ve spent the last few years cheering yourself on to that last child support payment, that’s just gross. Those young adult years are very impressionable and more support is sometimes needed. #mamabearforlife

That Bible verse you quoted in your social media post contradicts the next post you made about being disrespectful and judgmental to others, I am not sure God appreciates that, but I guess you’ll be forgiven on Sunday. “Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned” #GodseesALL

The mom you met at gymnastics and said “Let’s do a playdate, I’ll bring the mimosas” is a recovering alcoholic and would LOVE to have a playdate however won’t be able to show up due to anxiety over being the only non-drinker. #stopglamourizingdrinking

Changing your mindset and releasing negativity has more depth that just the shallow definition of the words. Mindset can be a plethora of situations. It only asks you to open your mind and your thoughts to a less selfish view of society and all its disasters. Releasing the negativity helps you to enjoy your days and your life no matter how you believe or what you have been through, it’s not being a follower, its BREATHING and being yourself but also taking a step back and seeing more than just your world. #reeducation

All we can do is start by being more understanding that we are all human, we are doing what we must do to crawl into bed at the end of our day, hoping to feel like we bettered ourselves and society BS 1% than the day before.
