10 Things That Suck About Motherhood

by Valerie

Last week I wrote a post about 10 things I love about being a mother.  We all know there is a dark side to motherhood, all those things that no one tells you before you accept the sperm deposit. So here is a little Yin and Yang. These are some of the things that suck about being a mother. Disclaimer Alert: I love my children and being a mother. We all know it’s a really crappy job sometimes.

1. Saggy boobs from breastfeeding.
2. My house will never be clean again.
3. Childbirth – they are coming out one way or another once they’re in there.
4. Spending half my life as a hot mess. Ok, actually three quarters.
5. Mean old ladies at the grocery store who lecture me about my child not being dressed appropriately for the weather.
6. 5 tons of cheap Chinese plastic.
7. Remembering to play the tooth fairy. Yes, we actually forgot for our son’s 1^st tooth.
8. Too many bodily fluids to mention.
9. Just falling asleep when you hear a crying baby or a kid yelling “Mommy!”
10. There will never again be enough hours in the day.

Smile. You have 18 years to enjoy it.
