I consider myself a good mother and wife. I do everything that I am suppose to do for my family, and usually without complaining. Being a stay at home mom means that this is my domain. It is my job to ensure the happiness of my family, but what about me? I would like to note that I am so very happy and grateful for my life. I couldn't imagine my life being any different. But sometimes it seems like my role may be taken for granted, making me feel unappreciated. I wake up in the morning, get thrown straight into my job (without even being able to brush my teeth first might I add!). Then I work all day with little to no rest (my toddler has decided naps are for chumps). Then my husband comes home from his 12 hour shift (this is break time, right?). Now not only do I have both kids to take care of, but my biggest kid of all (the hubby!). I know I'm loved and that my family respects what I do, but it's just that feeling we all get from time to time (mom's you can't deny that you've never had this feeling before, because we ALL have, we just don't have the courage to admit it sometimes). But does this make you a bad mom? Society views us moms as some sort of super bionic being that is capable of multi-tasking and has nerves of steel......anything less is just not acceptable. The reality is being a mom is hard work no matter how you look at it. After all, we're only human, right?
