Well done, all mamas.

Whether your kid is

an all-star,

a rock star,

face painting stars on kids cheeks at birthday parties

or the star of the circus show that is their life,

well done, mama.

While a mother's job is never done,

everything you've done, you've done well

because you've put your whole heart and crapton of energy into it

-- into them --

and it shows.

Well done, mamas.

You're all incredibly impressive and don’t you dare let anything anyone says or does make you think otherwise.
