The sweet poem that is touching the hearts of mums all over the worldAdd us as a preferred source on Google »

Being a mum is in equal measure the hardest, yet most gratifying and amazing job you will ever do.

But unlike any other job you have ever had, there are very few pats on the back for being great at it. Nobody gives you a promotion or a pay rise, and for the large part, the majority of the (sometimes really hard) work you do will go pretty much unnoticed. And while we all know that motherhood pays in love, not notes and coins, sometimes we all need to be told we are doing a good job. Even though deep down we know we are, feeling like someone sees it too can make all the difference. mums Which is probably why this beautiful poem by blogger Abi (Likeareallifeblog.com) has gone viral the last few days, and have touched the hearts of so many mamas all over the world: Nobody saw you, nobody at all at 3am when they woke again. Nobody saw you picking up the peas, wiping up the beans, emptying the laundry basket, taking out the bins again and again. Nobody saw the crust of toast that fell out of your bra when you got undressed at night, such a glamorous life being mum.
