Hubby: I'm so tired, we went to bed sooo late.

Me, who was up with the baby every few hours and still haven't come back to reality: really? I feel fine

We expect women to work as if they don't have children and to raise children as if they don't have a job.

Insecurities

I never really understood what being a mom meant. 

I was told what to do’s and what not to do’s. There were strangers bombarding me with their ideas of how I should raise my kids and if I should work. 

But no one warned me about the little things. About the insecurities. Flabs grow out your sides and your bum turns a bit squishy. Even if you work out, your body gives everything to grow that little life. 

I don’t feel pretty, cute, or flattering. I don’t look at myself as who I used to. My life isn’t really my own anymore and I chose to give that up. “But, of course you give that up. You signed up for it.” 

I did sign up for it, but I was never warned about the intensity of emotions and paranoia I would experience. My husband goes to a party and is able to talk to his old time buds, and I am left at home because people “don’t want me to feel uncomfortable”. I worry about the thin, fun girls that get to be around him and I can’t. 

Being a mom. I finally get it. I heard it, but I never got it. 

Being a mom is a sacrifice. I have cried over my body, my skin breaking out, the random hairs growing on my face, and my clothes not fitting me anymore. “But, of course. That’s what happens during pregnancy.” 

I have cried just because I can’t even make love comfortably because I feel so ugly and unattractive. No one warns you. They say it is a beautiful experience and disregard the reality of it. 

“But, of course.”
