Please help
I found this today on The Parent Bloggers Network and went over to see what was what.
Now, I sit here crying because this woman has to deal with so, so much right now. I can easily put myself into her shoes through her writing (especially this post.
She doesn’t want pity – although I can’t help but feel so bad for her. Perhaps it’s because I’m back in my dark place and my emotions are very raw again. I am finding it hard to even fathom what I would be like in her shoes, but I know she’s handling it a hell of a lot better than I ever could.
My nana had breast cancer – and she kicked it’s ass. My mom has had to have a breast biopsy because of something rather disturbing growing in there. I simply wait in line for my experience … but I simply CAN NOT FATHOM doing it while nursing my sweet baby boy.
And although it’s a day early, I’ve also nominated her for the June Perfect Post award (offered by Surburban Turmoil & MommaK), because it did make me cry… and not much usually does that – except for the two child death posts that I read on Friday *and I can’t go there*.
So please, grab this and put it on your blogs to show support for Team WhyMommy and then go over there and offer her some encouraging words in her comments. She needs them.
Thank you.

Feeling better about myself, one confession at a time
Well, thanks to the Frog Princess (*note heavy sarcasm*), I’m completely addicted to True Mom Confessions. I suppose it’s a little like watching a car wreck as you pass by … But some of these ‘true confessions’ hit home a little too close. Things like wishing I had more “me” time, or more money, etc. that affect lots of moms.
Others, though, make me realize that I’m a MUCH BETTER mother than some of the lunatics out there LOL
Women like this:
“I think my daughter is ugly.” (and has 6 me toos!)
“I feed my son food that I drop on the floor. All. Day. Long.” (9 me toos)
“i once drove drunk with my kids in the car.” (20 freakin Me TOOS!!)
“Sometimes when I run out of crackers i give my son dog biscuits to nibble on.”
and this precious gem:
“Today my 8 year old son screamed “I hate you” to me. I screamed “i hate you” back. Wow I feel like shit” – and yes, there’s a me too there too.
Now, of course, there’s lots of stuff that people confess to that go along with being a parent, especially a SAHM. Things like wanting more time to themselves, wanting their pre-pregnancy bodies back, etc. that are natural.
But I’ve come to learn a few things about me, too. Things like ‘I don’t hate myself’ – and ‘I don’t hate my life’ and although my children are not perfect, I wouldn’t trade any thing – not the weight, not the money, not the virtually no time to myself, for them at all.
I would LOVE to see a true DAD confessions site, though. I’d like to see what they confess to.
Real moms
Suffer. Real moms suffer with the pains of pregnancy, labor and childbirth. Real Moms suffer through the sleepless nights even after the infant times are over. Real moms suffer with lines and sunburn because we forget to take care of ourselves. Real moms suffer the various aches and pains that we get and don’t look after because we’re too busy being mom, wife, etc. Real moms suffer with a depression that goes untreated because we’re breastfeeding and cannot take the medication prescribed for it.
