Timmerie talks about a mom whose raw, tearful video went viral after she shared how heartbreaking it was to go back to work after maternity leave.

 

💬 What happened?


This mom had twins; they came 5.5 weeks early. After three months (which is actually more than what most U.S. moms get), she had to return to work, and... ➡️ She just wasn’t ready. 

 

This mom felt like she hadn’t had enough time. She was scared they’d forget her. She was grieving the postpartum bonding she never really got because so much of it was spent in hospitals.

 

 

🎙️ Timmerie’s Take:


She’s applauding this mom for being honest, because let’s face it; today’s culture shames moms for wanting to stay home or saying daycare’s not ideal. We’re told:

 

“Kids are fine in daycare.”

 

“Get back to work; you’ll feel better.”

 

“Two incomes are non-negotiable.”

 

 

Timmerie’s saying: Hold up. 🛑


We need to make space for moms to be with their babies. That might mean:


✨ Lifestyle changes


✨ One-income sacrifices


✨ Dad stepping up

 

✨ Community support


✨ Creative work-from-home setups

 

 

Most importantly: Trusting that when we make sacrifices for our families, God shows up and moves mountains. 🙌⛰️

 

This isn’t about shaming working moms (seriously, no mom guilt allowed here). It’s about naming the ache, the grief, and the reality that moms and babies need each other. We should be bold enough as a culture to admit that, and let's start looking for real solutions. Say a little prayer today for all the moms heading back to work with tears in their eyes. 💕🙏
