Every new mom knows that with a beautiful baby comes a lot of sleepless nights and exhaustion. Between feeding, caring for, and catering to your children — it's hard to get a full and honest night's sleep.
Being a mom means that you have twice as much of responsibility as you did before, because now, you're caring for another human.
It's hard to take care of everything, and find time for yourself. Many moms know the struggles of doing "too much" and overexerting themselves.
It may be as simple as falling asleep while watching TV with your kid, or even taking a snooze while your baby does, too.
No matter who you are or where you live, that kind of "mom tired" is too relatable.
Peter found his wife taking a midday nap in one of the strangest places.
Not only was the photo adorable, but Peter shared some kind words of encouragement for moms everywhere.
"To all the mums out there who are just spent...
Sometimes you just need to stop."
"My wife was shattered (this pic was not staged!).
One moment she was changing a nappy... the next... she was no where to be seen.
I had wrangled the boys into their highchairs and had their food in front of them."
"And finally all was quiet.... too quiet.
Where the heck is mum I thought.
She must be tidying the boys room..."
"Then after a few minutes more... she still hadn’t emerged from the bedroom... I decided to see what she was doing.
All I could see was a pair of feet in the doorway.
My heart started beating..."
"Is she even alive...
This was actually my first thought as my wife usually just doesn’t stop!"
"Upon closer inspection, I was relieved she was breathing... so I took the two blankets off the boys beds and gave her a pillow.
She emerged 20 odd minutes later after a little nana nap."
"She said she’d changed the nappy and just looked down at the carpet like it was a luxurious bed of feathers..
Bless you hun."
The final sentence was one every mom will love...
"Bless you hun.
You give life 100, it was nice to see you ‘just stop’.
Clearly, this man loves his wife.
We're so concerned with taking care of our families, sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves.
And, take a nap on the floor!
