What Nobody Tells You About Being a Mother

So here it is: Sometimes, being a mom sucks. Really really sucks. Sometimes I want to literally tear my hair out because my child drives me SO crazy. Especially these days. EVERYTHING is a battle. She doesn't want to eat whatever I cook for dinner. She doesn't want to clean up after herself. She's apparently lost all the manners I have painstakingly taught her. She never shuts up. If she's not talking she's singing nonstop. She argues. She cries in frustration.

Well, kid, so do I.

I know this is a phase. But MAN. I am BEAT. Who knew?! Who knew 4 would be 3 with a bigger vocabulary (in order to hurl better insults)? Oh, and she can read now, so there goes our ability to spell out our frustrations over her head. "Mama? What does 'sonofabitchwillsheevershutthehellup' mean?" Okay, I'm exaggerating. A little.

It's a good thing she's cute.


Love you, peanut!
