Caring ~ Dont judge others until you walk in their shoes 💥

A little mom perspective: I sat behind these moms at my daughter’s volleyball game the other day that didn’t know who I was….💥

While Victoria was playing they persisted to comment on everything she did wrong and how with “that height” she should be doing…a,b,c… Why would the coach leave her in…etc.💥

They were acting like they knew her and talked in such a justified manner. I sat there fuming and almost ready to say something or cry… but instead just got up and moved seats… at that moment, I didn’t know what to say or if the words would come out right… as I’ve thought about it, I decided to share my thought here:💥

I wanted to tell them: Do you know she’s only been playing on a team for six months? 💥

Do you know she’s blind in one eye? And has ZERO depth perception to even be able to hit the ball. 💥

Do you know she cried for days thinking she would never be good enough? 💥

Do you know she practised 8 hours a week this summer so she could improve enough to even try out for the team? 💥

Do you know she is doing so FREAKING amazing, and do you know she’s my daughter? 💥

Do you know it’s women like you who don’t know how to build up another person and teach your daughter it’s ok to talk about other girls like this? 💥

Just a friendly mom note…💥

Remember, before you speak or choose to judge someone… do you get that right? 💥

Do you know their story? 💥

Have you lived in their shoes? 💥
