I’m not here to repeat history

 I’m not here to repeat history just because it’s how things have always been done

I’m not here to parent like my parents did
Or like the neighbor thinks I should
Or like that perfect mom on Facebook wants me to

I’m breaking cycles on purpose
Choosing a different way on purpose
Because my kids deserve more than “well that’s just how I was raised”

And if that disappoints people?
If it makes them whisper or roll their eyes?
Good
Let them

They don’t live in my house
They don’t carry my load
They don’t get to decide what’s best for my kids

So I’ll keep doing it my way
Even if it ruffles feathers
Because that’s the whole point of growing you get to choose better.
