I know we all LOVE being mothers 99% of the time, and would not trade it for anything. We all LOVE our kids like crazy, and could not imagine our lives without them.
But…what don’t you love about being a mother at times? I have been thinking about this a lot, and don’t think it is really acceptable for mothers to go around saying what they don’t like about mothering. We are for the most part expected to be happy, and put on a happy face no matter what.
So, I decided to devote a blog posting every now and then to “Mommy Confessions.” You can “confess” something small or something large, and there is NO judgement. So if you want to get that certain something about motherhood off your chest- this is the place. After all confession is good for the soul, right?
My confession is I HATE the park. I like watching my kids play, but find it so boring. When my boys were younger, they needed me more to help them play, and that was fun, but now as they are growing and can do more and more by themselves, and don’t need want me to help them play, I still have to keep an eye on them, so it is too hard to read something, or talk to another mother. So I stand around bored out of my mind. My favorite part of going to the park, is when it is time to go home.
So there you have my confession, and I feel a lot better- what is yours?
