I've been a mom for nearly 20 years and am raising 6 kids. I still don't feel like I have the hang of this.
Motherhood is challenging, especially when you have six kids. As my kids have grown, life hasn't gotten any easier. It's just different. I try to remind myself that parenting is supposed to be hard. Some mornings, I wake up and feel like I'm already behind. Someone can't find their shoes, someone is fighting over who gets to sit in the front seat, and I'm pouring cereal into a cup because all the bowls are somehow in the dishwasher — again. And in the middle of the chaos, I catch myself thinking, "How am I still so bad at this?" I've been a mom for nearly 20 years. I have six kids, ranging in age from a teenager down to a 1-year-old. I've homeschooled. I've worked. I've done it all with and without a support system. If experience came with a trophy, I'd probably have a shelf full of them. And yet, I still have days when I go to bed wondering if I was patient enough, present enough, or just enough. I'm in what I call the messy middle of motherhood. During this time kids aren't babies anymore, so people assume it must be easier. But it's not. It's just different. The sleepless nights are traded for emotional exhaustion. You're no longer chasing toddlers — you're navigating curfews, attitudes, identity, and the constant tug-of-war between boundaries and independence. Your kids you, but in ways that are harder to define. They need guidance, empathy, and snacks every 15 minutes. They need deep conversations late at night, even when you feel like you have nothing left. They need your strength when you're running on fumes. And the whole time, you're expected to hold it all together with grace, with gratitude, and preferably without falling apart in the middle of the grocery store. But here's something I'm learning: Motherhood is only hard for the ones who are trying. If you didn't care so much, it would be easy. You wouldn't overthink your decisions or question whether your child needs therapy or just a nap. You wouldn't stay up worrying, praying, googling symptoms, or wondering if you're doing any of it right. That weight you're carrying? That doubt? That relentless voice in your head wondering if you're failing? It exists because you care. And that matters more than we give ourselves credit for. Because the truth is, there's no such thing as a perfect mom. There's just a present one. A mom who shows up. A mom who keeps trying. A mom who loves deeply, messes up often, and starts over again each morning. If you're feeling stretched thin, emotionally worn down, or like you're somehow still not doing enough — you're not alone. Even moms with big families and years of experience can feel like they're drowning in the demands of the everyday. But here's the good news: you're not failing. You're in the thick of it. You're living out the most important (and often overlooked) part of motherhood, the in-between years. The not-so-cute, not-so-Instagramable, fiercely formative middle. And one day, when the house is quieter and the shoes are where they're supposed to be, you'll look back and see that all your invisible work mattered. That even when it felt like too much, you were enough. So if today was loud and messy and imperfect — same here. We're not failing. We're mothering. And that's more than enough.

CNN commentator suggests investigating Trump children's citizenship status
CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers asked why people aren't investigating the Trump family's citizenship status while discussing the White House's ongoing deportation efforts on Tuesday. Sellers took part in a panel on "CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip" on the topic of the Trump administration attempting to revoke the citizenship of naturalized Americans who commit crimes. The panel referenced a recent memo from the Justice Department dated June 11 that directed U.S. attorneys to "prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings" as part of an effort by the Trump administration to crack down on crime. While accusing President Donald Trump of refusing to give immigrants "the benefit of their humanity," Sellers suggested people needed to "have a full conversation" about the Trump family's legal status. "Look, if we want to have a conversation about who belongs where, when, how, and whether or not their citizenship status- and we want to look at everything, I mean, I would look at Donald Trump Jr.," Sellers said. "I would look at all of Melania's kids, all of Ivana's kids. I mean, let's just have a full conversation over who belongs here, how did they get here, their citizenship status." He added, "Let's just have a full discussion about all of it. Why is that not on the table right now? I mean, the only person here should be Tiffany Trump, if we're going to have this discussion." First lady Melania Trump, Barron's mother, was born in Slovenia before becoming a U.S. citizen in 2006. The late Ivana Trump, Trump's first wife and Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr.'s mother, was born in the Czech Republic before becoming a U.S. citizen in 1988. Trump's second wife, Tiffany's mother, Marla Maples, was born in the U.S. All of Trump's children were born in the U.S. The Justice Department memo from Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate states that denaturalization cases against "individuals who pose a potential danger to national security, including those with a nexus to terrorism, espionage, or the unlawful export from the United States of sensitive goods, technology, or information raising national security concerns" are one of the key priorities. "The benefits of civil denaturalization include the government's ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses; to remove naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the United States; and to prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a U.S. passport," Shumate wrote.
