5 Amazing Pieces Of Advice From Total Boss Moms

Millennials are bosses when it comes to motherhood, and that’s because we learned from the best: our own total boss moms! Mothers have been quietly slaying this parenting thing for generations — all the while dropping their best parenting advice for future mothers to collect and carry on behind them. The best words of wisdom I got from my own mom were these: “As soon as you can’t take one stage of life a minute longer, it’s gone, and another takes its place.” I heard her words as I pulled my hair out after 11 months with a baby who woke 4 times a night — then suddenly, he slept. I heard them when his frustrated grunts brought me to tears as he couldn’t communicate what he needed — then suddenly, he spoke.

Every mom has them: quips she learned from experience, or prose she remembers a loved one saying. When we’re young, it's easy to just roll our eyes when we hear a tired mom mantra for the umpteenth time. But as we get used to wearing the “mom” title ourselves, we appreciate them more than we can say.
