As it happens to a lot of us SAHMs, some one will come along...on our "take care of the dripping syrup from one child...while answering the toddler's zillionth question" day....and say " I dont know how you do it...I am so not that kind of a mom"
Really?...I mean.."Really? Really?"....No..I am not remotely offended by your comment...My legs just like to spread around and land on butts like yours..!Most of such "moms" will always follow it up with.."I admire you for doing it" ..Ya...that makes it sound so much better!
NOBODY...is "that kind of mom"and I am sorry for screaming...but it happens a lot when you ARE trying to be that kind of mom.......Most of us...atleast before we became moms were human....well becoming a mom just got us superpowers..All moms...whether SAHM or working moms...would love some kid free time during the time of the day...there are days when we SAHMs think and dream about our carefree days...but it takes a lot of patience, love and will power...to SNAP out of the fantasy land...and go back to "Mom..I peed on the bathroom floor..look water!" kind of reality...
For example, in the time you have read this post...I have wrestled and relocated my laptop to hundred different positions...to save it from my 10 month old..I have seen my son pretend his pajamas are tortillas and make burrito out of it....while trying to make sense of why someone who even remotely knows this life....would be "that kind of mom"
So do me a favor will ya? Next time you want to give me a compliment for being a good mom...keep my kids for 2 hours and buy me an expensive gift card...Now...THAT I can appreciate !
