Other Mothers Part Duex

I was just reading through some other people's blogs and came across one that really kinda got to me. This person was bitching really about being a mom and how depressed and poor she is. I want to know why it is that women seem suprised by the fact that being a mom is hard work. Yes, when you spend all day cleaning the house the kids will come right behind you can mess it up again, yes they need at least three meals a day, yes they sit and cry when your busy. So what? You can teach them to help out..haha i'll have to finish this later,.. the baby is crying. see, it's normal

anyway..lets see where was i, oh here's my soap box, okay i'm ready. My oldest is only three and he's learning to fold clothes, load and unload the dishwash and can already pick up toys. He can't do these things with out help but he will eventually. My youngest is just destructive, but you just pick things up when he's done. Another year or so and he'll want to be helpful too.

My kids drive me insane sometimes. I'll loose my temper and yell at them. I am by no means a June Cleaver. But I love them, play with them, make time for them. I have homework every night, I work a little at school, I attempt to keep the house relatively clean, I cook most nights, and I like to read a book a week if I can. How do I do all this and still have time for my kids, I have no idea.

My point is that if you really want to be a good mom to your kids you can be.
