If you don't agree with the myths of
motherhood, you must be doing it wrong. Maybe you just weren’t cut out for
motherhood. OR…you are HUMAN.
I found a great list on mommyish.com.
The highlights that give me flashbacks are below.
Delirious? You betcha! Happy? Check! Both simultaneously, 24/7? No way. To assume it’s all going to be sunshine and rainbows is naïve. It is hard work. Sleep deprivation was the hardest for me. At 4am, while I would be rocking my baby back to sleep for the eighth time…he’d smile at me. My first thought was always ‘you're lucky you’re cute.’
Your
maternity leave is like a vacation
Maybe if
you are vacationing at a resort that has alarms that go off every 3-4 hours and
you have to decipher what they mean and how to make it stop…all day and night. Forget
relaxing, sleeping, showering and eating regularly. Not happening.
If you’re not completely fulfilled by
motherhood, something must be wrong with you

Babies are wonderful. Being a mother
has made me a better person. However, I am still an independent thinking,
thriving human being. I need more mental stimulation than cooing with my
infant, or watching endless episodes of Team Umizoomi (Mason LOVES Team
Umizoomi.) and that is ok.
Don’t let mom guilt consume you. Does it all seem scary? Maybe. But it’s the biggest
thrill of my life. Watching your children grow, learn and love is all you can ask for.
