One of the most important reminders that Dr Becky shares with parents? Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t make you a bad mom.
So many mothers carry guilt for having emotions, losing patience, or feeling stretched too thin. But this conversation reframes something we rarely talk about: struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. Often, it means you care deeply.
This clip is a reminder that parenting was never meant to be about perfection. Children don’t need flawless parents, they need parents who repair, reconnect, and keep showing up.
Especially on Mother’s Day, this is your reminder to give yourself the same compassion you give everyone else.
