We all have experienced some form of joy, frustration, chaos, triumph, anguish and harmony. No matter what part of the world you are from, we as parents share like situations and emotions. One of the great things about the @steemitmamas community is we get to share our lives and learn from one another. There have been times when several mamas were experiencing the same things and were able to talk about it. When we openly share what we go through whether it be struggles or victories someone’s life can be blessed by that. We may even get relief when we talk through things. ![23929B2A-D6AE-4AEE-8D75-33D0854DE1DD.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZ5VAZxCYayxk8GwwoXALLSTwK3AFp3LjLhWzePdf9q3/23929B2A-D6AE-4AEE-8D75-33D0854DE1DD.jpeg) # The Parent Contest This contest is open to all parents, both mothers and fathers!
