Yes, we care more for our children than we do ourselves, in a way that's inexplicable before actually having kids. But our personalities didn't morph into Mary Poppins the second our children evacuated via vagina. <br /><br />Honesty is good. Keep on, yo.

I, at one point, lost my shit and yelled so loudly and so angrily at the boys to "STOP SCREAMING - I DON'T WANT TO F-ING HEAR IT!" that I didn't recognize my own voice. Then I thought about all of the windows that were open and how many neighbors just heard my raging and felt even worse. It was a special night.<br /><br />I really, really hope you're feeling better.

First, thank you for being an honest mom. There is so much propoganda out there about how perfect moms must always be that I think it adds to normal people (who are also moms) depression.<br /><br />I am childless by choice and now I'm pushing 60. I don't regret my decision to not have my own children but I'm jealous of my friends' grandchildren. So, I've become the surrogate grandmother to the 3 year old little boy next door. His parents work nights and some weeks their schedule overlaps. On those nights, I go next door and spend the night at Alex's. He and I both benefit. I get to play grandma/Auntie Mame and he gets to sleep in his own bed at night.<br /><br />This has been a real learning experience for me. I get an upclose window into how much energy it takes to be present to a toddler. I'm not responsible for dishes, or groceries, or anything but Alex and I'm still tired by the time he goes to bed about 9 pm.<br /><br />All my old feminist rants are coming back alive. Our society must become loving and supportive of families. I don't say "more loving" because we are not loving at all. Parents trying to raise balanced and healthy children are the daily heroes. Because you all are so exhausted, I will intensify my political activities to advocate for women and children. (That's what I've been doing all these years instead of raising children.) The personal is the political. We have to have support for families as a national policy. In Canada, you don't pay tax ever on things bought for children, i.e. food, clothes, etc.<br /><br />Keep the faith and continue to be an awesome mom and writer. Hope you feel better soon.<br /> Cindy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04555030855073712780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982236895134441993.post-46974106230458684572012-10-15T13:31:45.354-05:002012-10-15T13:31:45.354-05:00get well soon, kristy! get well soon, kristy! ilikebeerandbabies.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641425510744950355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982236895134441993.post-8135996086938092802012-10-15T12:44:27.305-05:002012-10-15T12:44:27.305-05:00thank you so much for this!!! i've been sick ...thank you so much for this!!! i've been sick myself the past few days and spent a good portion of the day yesterday snapping at my kiddos, when clearly they weren't the ones who got me sick (what a minute. maybe they are!!). regardless, i felt like total poo after yelling, but am glad to get a mulligan!Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856498114221395456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982236895134441993.post-4148743202622573722012-10-15T10:13:50.289-05:002012-10-15T10:13:50.289-05:00And red lipstick!And red lipstick!ilikebeerandbabies.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641425510744950355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982236895134441993.post-75987115108663139202012-10-15T10:12:12.669-05:002012-10-15T10:12:12.669-05:00I am going to create a "Break Glass In Case O...I am going to create a "Break Glass In Case Of Emergency" first aid kit for my Bad Mommy days that will most definitely include Bourbon.
