Waarom deze foto van een mama & baby onder de douche zo bijzonder is….

De uitdrukking ‘een foto zegt meer dan 1000 woorden’ komt in het geval van Eden Clougher uit Australië wel heel mooi van pas. Zij plaatste deze bijzondere foto op Facebook om te laten zien hoe ouderschap eruitziet. 

Dit is haar foto + uitleg: 

So, I’ve been debating over the last few weeks about posting this photo…

This is what parenting looks like…

3.30am sessions in the shower because she reacted to an allergen and screamed all night. It looks like love and devotion, and exhaustion and relief. It looks like stretch marks, and prickly legs, and raw desperation. There is beauty here… The beauty of silence… The hot water and skin to skin won. I needed it to win; I was out of options. 

I needed this photo. I needed to freeze this moment so that I can look back and remember the vulnerability and art that is parenting. The delicate balance between genius, and insanity.
