The mixed emotions of Mother’s Day

This is to all of those fabulous mother’s.  Mother’s day is a day of mixed emotions for many people.  The mother child relationship is not always the loving glowing thing depicted on the hallmark cards.  There are those of us who have yet to birth a child, who have lost a child, who have lost their mother or who are struggling with the whole mother thing in general.

Society puts a lot of pressure on mother’s.   We are the ones judged for our child’s eating habits, weight issues, problems with addictions, their relationships, tantrums;  how we dress, how we interact, how successful we are.  It is all due to how your mother raised you.

We could talk about whether that is true or not but we can leave that for another day.  The point is, the pressure is there and it is real.

It is the hardest job we will do and we will make mistakes.  It is the female that keeps the human race alive and so regardless of those  mistakes it is time for kudos

Drink the wine, eat the cake, make someone else change the shitty diaper and fix dinner. Sit in the hammock, let the laundry go.  Ignore the boogers on the wall and the pee on the toilet seat.  Relax in the tub while the small humans and pets wait outside the door.

Put your makeup on or sit in your sweatpants. Do whatever makes you happy.  Tell yourself you are doing a good job and that without you the world would not exist, because the uterus IS the heart of mankind, literally and figuratively.
