Brilliant. I am so blessed to have also found a man like this. Though I still find myself frantically trying to comb my kids hair and put them in clean clothes despite personally not giving a f*ck but wanting to appear perfect from the outside. Much de-conditioning still required lol. I hear it gets a lot harder (easier??) from three kids onwards... many less f*cks to give I suppose.
Feeling like that cat most days. I loved this line, "I want my children to run wild with sticky hands and dirty faces, laughing so loudly it shakes the air." So a visceral scene. It reminded me of the book (not the movie) Night Bitch, and that's high praise!
Si true! The pressure to be the polished, perfect mother is suffocating, and your words are such a reminder that our kids need us real, not tamed. Thank you for putting this truth into the world.
This is iconic. Absolutely the reminder I needed to hear. I was also falling into the “needing to be perfect” quite recently. The wildness in my children should continue to be free and accordingly, set myself free. Thank you 💛
I’m crying Melissa. This is pure hell and pure bliss to read. Thank you
Thank you dear Sara. It’s nice to know their are other feral Moms out there ❤️
Beautiful and brilliant. I loved every word. Ahh-ooooooo (that's my wild woman howl haha)

Always something to de-condition that’s for sure. Big hug Gabrielle ❤️
