10 Crazy Things Every Mother Has Done At Some Point
We just had the evening of our life with the girls. We poked their tummies and they laughed. We watched baby girl’s mannerisms and laughed at her. Girl number told us she loves us so much and that we are the best mom in the world. Statements like this just melt our heart and make us thankful for being a mother. But then there are other times we ask myself what business we have with motherhood. How did we even get here? We're we even doing this this thing right?So we've been thinking of some of the crazy things each mother has done at some point in their life. Motherhood has shown us that we have a quirky association with crazy. Here are ten things each mother must have done: 1. Considered getting rid of the kids for a loooooong time.Sometimes we just wish we could send our kids on a month-long vacation somewhere.2. Spoken continuously like a mad person.You know the way mad people speak sometimes. The speech is fast-forwarded and almost has no meaning. Yeah, that.
3. Seen your kids as deliberate enemies.Some days, it just feels like the girls are doing every and anything to switch on our anger button. Dem send wona for ma back? Go and tell them you haff not seen us!4. Given instructions that have little or no meaningOur aunt once yelled at her 3 screaming kids, “You stand there! You stand there! You, stand there!” What does that even mean?4. Answered a toy phone. No matter how big and reasonable you are, when your kid gives you a toy phone, sister, just answer it!5. Fought between sleeping and having us time. We go through the day exhausted and desperately wanting a date with our bed. But when the time comes, we just want to have some us-time.6. Cried in secret. Because maybe you felt like you weren’t slaying at motherhood like you should. Or maybe because motherhood was slaying you. 7. Said “yes” without listening. Sometimes you get tired of scrutinising requests and you just say yes without thinking. We said, “yes” the other day without thinking. Turns out girl number two was trying to do the opposite of what we wanted her to do.8. Envied those without kids. You just look at those without kids and you’re like, “you di enjoy oh!”9. Played ABC songs even when no kid was watching. This is so us. We unconsciously leave the songs to play before we realise myself thereafter.10. Hidden to eat your chocolate or some treat because you didn’t want your kids to beg for some.Bonus point: Used the restroom with an audience. It just happens. You are sitting there and a tiny human being pushes their way in.Another bonus point: Prolonged shower time just because you want to have alone time. We take staycations in our bathroom… literally.Anotherrrrr bonus point (Ha! We should write a “book” on this): Taken your kid to the hospital to consult for a really serious illness and it turns out to be nothing. We once took our oldest to the hospital with some serious complaints and the doctor said her sickness was called, “good mother syndrome”.Okay, last one: Punished your kid for acting exactly like you. Raise your hands if guilty.So what are some of the crazy things you have done as a mother or you have observed other mothers do?Let’s always remember that each time you show love to a kid, you are changing the world.
