This Mum’s Poetry Will Make You Understand Motherhood

Hey ladies!�I understand that motherhood is more tiring than anything else you’ve ever done in your life. I totally get it!

It requires patience and a myriad of other traits (and some poo on the side, too!)

Watch Ted Hughes awardee Hollie McNish pour her heart out in this sweet and sentimental clip -�she totally gets it and says what we’re all feeling.


The title of Hollie’s poem is “What’s My Name Again.” And it simply explains how mums like her often times are underappreciated and people don’t even call them by their first names at all.

Happy Mother’s Day, woman. I hope Hollie’s poem resonated with you.
