I think it is annoying when I am going through my facebook feed and I see moms complaining about how tired they are and how they can't ever get a moment to themselves and how they have been running around all day and wouldn't it be nice if they could just take a nap without a baby waking them up or go a day without having to clean marker off the walls/get crammed cheerios out from the couch/any other thing that comes with the territory of having a tiny human in your house?
Let me be clear, I am NOT saying that it is annoying because I think that being a mother isn't a "real" job. I don't think that. But I DO think "you know...you CHOSE to have those kids. It was a CHOICE. And if you weren't aware of the responsibilities and inconveniences that comes with parenthood, then maybe you should have thought things through a little longer before fulfilling what seemed to be your life dream in the first place." And if anything, arrange it with your husband so child-rearing isn't a solo-career!
Okay. Rant over.

Exactly! I think people are prone to complain about things, even if they like it. But I think there is a lot of attitudes going around "motherhood" circles. Complain, sure, but also be grateful you have care of an amazing little human. Or don't do either. But don't just whine you don't have a personal life any more. That is what happens when you become a mom.
ReplyDeleteAmen. I get tired of that, too. Glad you say what you think.
