Being a young "Mom"
It's a tough job. It isn't easy. It doesn't come with a piece of cake. Or a chapter book. Or a short cut. It isn't what everyone thinks is so perfect. It isn't about you anymore. Its overwhelming at times. It takes patience. Creativity. Nurturing.
So you better be ready.
Motherhood. It's all about leaving your selfishness behind and giving your all to someone else. It's about staying up late at night even when your exhausted. Its about catching throw up in your hand when you just cleaned your carpet. It's about life as you don't know it... Not yet. Not until you meet this interesting being for the first time.
Motherhood. It's about feeling your heart outside of your body, forever. Butterflies. It's about thinking for two instead of one.
It's definitely not a "pet" either. Pets and children are completely two different living creatures. Ones where you put in a cage, walk with a lease and give a bone. The other, sure, so all of the above and its called 'abuse' because she/he needs much more attention and.. a given... this one actually talks back!
Motherhood. No one truly knows until they feel another living being inside of them. Kicking. Breathing. Moving. Hiccuping. Having another part of them leave their body when it's time, yet it's still somehow connected with you in every way.
Motherhood. Its a miracle.
Motherhood. It's about making mistakes. Feeling pain. Joy. Love. Laughter. And all the screw ups we as Mother's make daily. It's not perfect. If there was such a thing, life would be just that and our children would grow up living a day with no mistakes.
Us mothers would love to be perfect. But we're not. Never will be. If your children haven't told you they hated you yet bc they didn't get their way, then get ready. It will happen any day now. It's life. I can rememeber saying the same thing to my mother when I didn't get my way. Did I mean it? No. Did it last for more than 10 secs? No. But that's what its all about. Hugs. Kisses. Sorries. I love you's. "You were right mom." "You were wrong mom." "I didn't mean it."
Motherhood is the life you never had and that you can never imagine living without.
Motherhood, having a job 365 days a year. But best of all, Motherhood is true. Something you can be proud of. Having someone who looks up to you, counts on you and see's you through all of the the imperfections you and motherhood brings. That's what it's all about. You. It all begins with you, Mom.
