This was brought about Oprah's episode yesterday about mothers coming out clean. Baring all their dark secrets, techniques, and exhaustion. It was about how mothers in this country are raising the bar high that it would seem to be a mortal sin not to be a perfect mom. I am blessed that I have a few friends here whom I can candidly talk about my mishaps and well dirty closets hahaha!!!
I think the episode was also about this new sitcom "In The Motherhood" in ABC, which I still have to learn to appreciate because the pilot episode was somewhat annoying and mediocre. I can imagine it gone in the next couple of weeks.
Well anyway, so here are some of my motherhood blunders:
I may not be perfect, but I still want to be one! LOL!
How about you, care to share?

Well anyway, so here are some of my motherhood blunders:
- When my son was born, I wondered why I couldn't bring myself to cry. It was not like the other moms who cried their best upon seeing their newborn, and intermittently weeps over nothing just because they became moms.
- I never liked poop nor mess. Everything sticky and gooey is enough to warrant me a trip to crazyville.
- I was so particular bathing my son twice a day before, while I would only shower every other day. I was that exhausted and totally did not care anymore.
- The laundry is still a struggle and I vowed to myself that I will get better at this within the week! So watch me! nge!
- When I'm so lazy cooking, I feed my son hotdogs and cold cuts. I know it's not healthy but it's very convenient.
- There was a time when I didn't want to look at the mirror. Everything I see right in front me, I hated with so much passion. Now, I just don't have the time to linger hehehe!
- Preparing for a meal, planning things around the house, cleaning up after every mess can be totally be tiring at some point. As I've always said I dream of having a househelp. This country needs to learn, they're quite behind the Philippines hehehe!!!
I may not be perfect, but I still want to be one! LOL!

you mean to tell me, there's actually someone who takes pleasure from dirty diapers?!?! WOW!! not me. lol
yes. being a mother is exhausting (but so does being a wife, gf, daughter, employee, etc etc) - but I can't think of any other role in this lifetime that's the most rewarding apart from being a mom.
