A teaser from author Becky Kopitzke:

Have you been duped into thinking good moms never make mistakes? Never snap, never get impatient, never need a break or a weeklong vacation to Hawaii?

Well, okay, maybe you don’t need a tropical getaway. But I’m guessing you do need somebody to tell you you’re not a bad mom—in spite of all your flaws.

Today is your day. Here are five lies you might be believing about motherhood—and the truth that sets us free.

Lie #1: Good moms don’t get angry.

Lie #2: It’s my job to worry about my kids.

Lie #3: There just aren’t enough hours in the day.

Lie #4:. My children need more more than my husband does.

Lie #5: Good moms sacrifice themselves for their children.
