Suddenly every cry feels like a puzzle, every nap is a negotiation, and car-ride meltdowns become live experiments in emotional containment. Because motherhood truly is the great equaliser. No matter your training or how many theories you can recite, every mother eventually ends up slumped in the dark at 2am, scrolling with one hand while wearing a shirt mysteriously covered in spit-up.
