Pink Has the Easiest, Best Advice for Self-Critical Moms Everywhere
Pink‘s music has always carried the message of embracing your flaws and finding power in your imperfections, and the way she lives her personal life is no different. Pink and husband Corey Hart are the parents of 6-year-old Willow and 1-year-old Jameson Moon, and she seems totally upfront on social media about all the messiness and difficulty that comes with being a parent. As it turns out, she’s been an inspiration to at least one other mom out there, according to a message she posted on Twitter early Wednesday morning.
“A really sweet Mama came up 2me tonight at the grocery store and told me some nice words about how she gets strength from my parenting cause I’m not afraid to fuck up in public. We cried together. It’s so hard. Y’all. I wish us mamas could give ourselves and each other a break,” she wrote on Twitter.
The story has already gained more than 5,500 retweets and 63,000 likes, showing just how much this powerful message of patience and honesty resonates. Many Twitter users responded with similar stories of times when strangers publicly allowed for a little messiness from kids.
Pink’s Twitter also has a gem of advice for parents who want to help their kids deal with their emotions in a healthy way, too. She recently retweeted a video of a dad explaining to his daughter how to honor and move past bad feelings without holding on to them.
And just like parents need to be kind to kids and kind to themselves, they should also probably be kind to one another. Khloe Kardashian, pregnant for the first time, is already being mommy-shamed for working out, and her kid isn’t even born yet. Wouldn’t parenting be a little easier on everyone if we all trusted each other to be doing the best we can?
Looks like things are definitely working out for P!nk’s adorable family, at least:
