Oh mama. I see you.

I see the exhaustion in your eyes. I see the way you grip the steering wheel, white-knuckled, just willing yourself to push through the next few hours. I see the confusion, the anxiety, the stress in your eyes. I see the overwhelm of the decisions you need to make, not just on your face, or in your eyes, but in the way you carry yourself, as if you’ve got the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Because you do.

The decisions facing parents today really ARE overwhelming—what do I do about school this fall? What if I make the wrong decision? What if my friends choose something different than I do? What if I’m not cut out for homeschooling? What if I WANT my kid to go to school—will I be judged?

Impossible decisions.
