I Quit Mommyhood!


 
The question:
Do YOU ever get tired of being a mom?
Found:
Betsy Shaw
The Thought:
And if you don’t feel okay admitting it, if you have guilt about it, have you ever thought about why? Because, I mean,  everyone, EVERYONE, complains about their job now and then. So why shouldn’t you be able to complain about yours?

Statements made I can relate too:
  1. I get sick of being a mom sometimes. I get sick of it a lot. But it doesn’t mean I don’t feel lucky to have it and it definitely doesn’t mean I want to quit.
  2. Or when I see the closet in my daughters’ (son's) room, the one I just spent an hour organizing, and it’s a total and complete cotton avalanche...
  3. Or when I just want to disappear for a minute, or two, or three, behind the closed bathroom door without someone calling my name… (Why do they always need me at the precise moment when I’m on the toilet?).
  4. Or when I wake up early and sneak to the kitchen for a quiet cup of tea, and, while reaching into the fridge for the milk,  the jar of raspberry jam falls out and shatters on the floor, and I spend the whole of my 20-minutes of quiet time, cleaning it up …

Gotta Love It!!!!
