You hide in the bathroom to be alone.
You use your own saliva to clean your child’s face
You say it at least once a day that you are not fit to be a mother but you know you will not trade it with anything else in the world
You only have time to read the newspaper when you are in the toilet. This is known as multi-tasking.
You say you are going to bed but instead detour to the kitchen to make sure that you have the food ready for the family’s breakfast tomorrow, head over to the laundry room to fold the laundry, go to the children’s bedroom to check on them, making sure that they sleeping well, pick up any toys or books lying on the floor and switch off the lights. When you finally go to bed, your husband is already in bed, snoring away.
This is Motherhood 😉
Agnes is running a Motherhood contest in her blog in conjunction with Mother’s Day. If you are interested, do hop over and join in the fun.
hahahahah.. Barb u r just SO RIGHT!!!! yes, thats real motherhood hehe … ;-D Salute to all mothers out there!!
Barb, good attempt. Am trying to squeeze out mine one now.
An honest post.. esp the part about using “your saliva to clean your child’s face”.. Agree that we would not trade it for another role.
hahahahah, very funny and real, barb. agree wholly on the 5th point! i like the picture – mothers are indeed very “negative”-looking with kids. the more the “negative-st”
hahhhaa..i think it’s more like the mother is much older and stressed up. i think there are eye bags too.
oooh.. the 2nd pic does look familiar.. i look into the mirror each day and now I realize who that is.. 🙂
hahha…before and after…..motherhood is just so tough but great!
seriously? mom hide in the toilet? hahah when i was young, maybe 1-2 years old, my mom have to bath with the toilet door open…cus i’ll cry when i cant hear her or see her around! 😛
very well said Barb!
Ahh… a very meaningful one… Now that I am a mom, I often find myself screaming on top of my lungs for the slightest things. Thank you Barb for the support 🙂
Very true write up…motherhood is so tuff yet rewarding…
ya,as a mother, we would spend more time with the children than with our husband.
Motherhood is challenging but rewarding. 🙂 Good Luck.
as for me, pangsai also no time, have to wait till both kids are sleeping…
Mother is the toughest job in the world…
Happy Mothers’ Day!
Yes, yes, I just had to grin at your last point… I go through that everyday too. And the cartoon, hahaha! That bad meh??
