[scrunchie-face]

Doesn’t all this “traditional” motherhood hype ever get old? Doesn’t it ever start to ring hollow? Doesn’t the constant stream of “you are doing the MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER by being a mom” homilies and meditations start to reek of just another industry that thrives on your isolation, insecurity, and loss of identity?

#just thoughts #I prayed to God to help me soften and open my heart towards the Catholic moms group and He is TESTING ME #the group organizer shared a clip of a fr ripperger homily talking about how nObLe motherhood is #how SO much more noble it is than ANYTHING ELSE a woman could possibly do #and she sent it with a FIRE EMOJI #🤢 #it was from a blonde traditionalist influencer who is just gEnTlY aSkInG WHY you #you would save money to send your kids to catholic school instead of just homeschooling them #and I’m just #the fucking we are mothers and we are RAISING SAINTS and we are AWESOME #it’s just fucking girlboss culture in a lace veil #as you can see I am NOT doing a good job letting God soften my heart #if you need some wrinkly old rad trad priest to tell you your value you may be in a cult #or at least need therapy
