Dear "stop writing your blog" mom!!

So there is a blogger I follow on facebook... I never really end up reading her blog any more.. Because just the short write up she has to her blog on facebook is starting to tick me off...

Every single blog is about a tired mother, an exhausted mother, a sad mother, a mother who is fed up a mother who just can't handle it anymore... She writes in this open letter format so its always " Dear tired Mom" or " Dear fed up mom"

Its been a while since i've seen a single post of hers saying " Dear Mom who figured out that there is more to being exhausted" or " Dear mom of the kid who is so affectionate or well behaved and good job to you"

Mother hood is an exhausting experience there is no getting away from it...

There is no kind of mum who isn't tired... stay at homes, work from homes, working moms... all of us are tired and fed up and crave for "me " time all the time... but hello... did you start your blog to encourage other women or discourage them from ever having kids?

Dude.. no matter what you do and how well you balance and how much help you have or don't.. once you've had your bumling its all madness down that road... but its really also so full of happiness and affection and love and warm hugs that the exhaustion will just disappear...

Thats what you should be telling the mums i think... about how post it all you get to curl up next to this little beautiful thing you created that will hug you like you are the whole world... and that gooey fuzzy heart wrenching feeling is really all that will matter...

I don't believe that you must have kids... I think if you don't want any you just shouldn't have any... but if you ask me for my opinion.. I would say have at least the one... just to experience true magic...

and while you will read blogs like the above mentioned one... don't get overwhelmed by them... don't take them at face value... each mother child journey is different.. and while i do too feel tired like hell at the end of the day... i really really don't think that would be my description to motherhood...

but don't also think its all a bed of roses because it isn't... the roughness and toughness is there... but its just one layer... the rest of the layers are pretty fun!



Sorry for the rant... just tired of moms who write blogs just to tell people how much "Work" it is to have kids!!! Also if i was a ruder person I would have written this to her... but i'm not.. i'll simply unfollow her and move on!!!!!

Driving skills....

So we're in the car and my brother in law is driving... And he asks, very sure of the answer 

" Siddy, who is the best driver in the world?" 

Our man is thinking ...thinking ... And says 

"Papa is the best driver in the world!" 

Ok then!!! 

"Papa is the cutest driver in the world" 

Fine I agree with that... He really is the cutest ... But what really got me was the next thing he said.... 

"Papa doesn't honk... Only Mumma and Neneh honk while driving" 

Seriously... Observation skills of a two and a half year old...seriously?!!!!

The Reason to have a Baby!

It's time to pick a college... you pick a college...

Its time to get a job... you get a job...

Its time to get married.... you get married....

Its time to have a baby.... you don't have a baby....

Never ever ever have a baby because its the obvious next step.... no way.... its the absolute last reason to have a baby... no wait... I take that back... the absolute last reason to have a baby is if your marriage is on the rocks....

But next to that.... just because its time or its the next step in a marriage...NOPE... don't do it...

A kid... a baby is a part of you... its a part of your partner... its something you two create together in a moment of sheer love.... its magic.... its knowing that you have made this one beautiful little thing that belongs only to you... that will be yours no matter what happens in this world... something that will look at you and see his whole world... that will run to you for love, protection validation... everything... its having something that no one else has because its your own unique little combination...

and to be able to see that everyday day in and day out... to be able to hug and kiss that little thing is the only reason to have him... to know what unconditional love is... not to complete or tick mark the next thing in your life...
