As I sit down in my living room alone writing this post before bed, no tv on, no light just me and my thoughts, I realize how much on the go I am non stop.
I’m really just on non stop go from Sunday to Sunday, and a girl is drained. I’m really just tired, tired from working, mothering, partnering, all that stuff. It may be my fault, because I really don’t know how to just relax, I always feel guilty for relaxing, like girl there’s things you can be doing, whether that be cleaning, working out, writing a blog post, something there’s always something to be done, and if you’re not where you want to be there’s not much time for relaxing, you can save that for another time.
Taking care of a toddler is a lot of fucking work. Whoever said it was easy is a damn lie. I feel like every stage is a new stage. When Alani was a baby i couldn’t wait for her to start talking because I thought if you talk you can tell me exactly what it is that you want, I just never thought of the NON stop talking, and thats the stage we’re at, but why mommy? How come? etc, etc. And to be honest kids can get really annoying sometimes and thats..
Okay just as I’m getting into the groove of this post this little mama walks out of the room, talking about “Why don’t you go to bed” LOL I swear I can’t make this shit up I cannot. like why aren’t you sleep little mama why? lol
But, like I was saying kids can get really annoying sometimes, even your own (Don’t judge me), but just imagine, being restless, and your kid is screaming, every other minute asking for something, Alani does this; if she sees me lying down, she’ll say oh mommy can I have an Icee, I’ll get up get the Icee, lie back down then its, “Mommy can I have popcorn” then “Mommy can I have something to drink” and she just never stops, I really believe she just doesn’t want me to rest. Oh, and let me add that she does NOT do this to her father like everrr. I’m really trying to get her into the habit of expressing her needs and wants to her father, because he can be on the couch watching tv, I can be in the bathroom relieving myself, and guess who she is coming to when she wants something?! The parent in the bathroom, ME!!.
Oh, Motherhood, I love it so much, but sometimes I’m just tired, and I don’t want to be bothered, and this is just MY honest truth. I’m sure some of you can relate, if so let me hear in the comment section below.
Lala when you’re older and able to read this just know that mommy loves you, and at this stage in your life your a piece of work!
I’m convinced I’m just going to be tired for the rest of my life lol
LOLLLL at the “Because Madison, because that’s just the way it is” that literally made me LOL. I’m convinced that every age is a new stage I think I heard “Terrible twos, terrifying threes, and horrifying fours”. Just glad I get to do this parenting thing with friends, and mothers who inspire me, so I know that I’m not alone.
Love is really the key, it’s the only thing that gets me through!
Thank Goodness I’m not alone!
LMAO, “Push veryyy hard”… Can I shit in peace for real, I wonder when they’re teenagers if this attachment will even exist.
I’m glad i’m not alone. But, Yes he helps out, that’s usually after i’ve already had enough, I need him to come to the rescue wayyy before that that though LOL
Agreed which is why I can be a God Mommy next so I can give the child back lol All of me is still tired even though Shomari let me sleep in . You are not alone!
Oh Demi dont you dear feel alone Lol!
I remember bringing Madison home and after a few days I was jokingly telling my mom and sister “shes so boring, I cant wait until shes walking and talking already”. Boy do I regret ever wanting to rush the process. I tell people all the time “having a baby is a breeze; but having a two year old is a job in itself”. I too am also dealing with the “100 why’s and how come” lol. But after trying to answer like 10 in a row I scream “Because Madison, because thats just the way it is!” Lol then I take a deep breath and try singing the Alphabet or the Wheels on the Bus. She probably thinks im insane and crazy at this point but im sure we all thought that about our parents until we were able to truly understand and make sense of it all. Ive heard it gets better when theres two of them but as I am not quite ready for another im taking “Terrible Two’s” on one day at a time.
Keep it real D!!! Motherhood has a ton of blessings and a ton of ANNOYING moments. Ride that wave and rest, too, of course 🙂
Love is the key…
This post expressed EVERY single feeling of mine😩
Lmao (literally) as i read this whole post! It’s sooo true Dem…idk why it is they have this attachment to us but we really can’t do anything in peace without them bothering us. I love that Kai’s a mama’s baby but come onnnnnn can i at least shit in peace…he would come in there like mommy you pooping i say yes and he’s like ok push veryyyyy hard 😂😂😂parenting is amazing but very tiring…i sooooooooo second you on this blog!
THIS IS MY LIFE. The days that you aren’t feeling well. The days that you’re overwhelmed. The days that you want to stop but just can not. My lil’ never ever bothers my hubbs. Heres a tip tho. Express to him how you feel. My hubs will take the lil into the room and close the door giving me time to myself. Atleast 30 minutes. It helps when you allow someone to lift the weight with you.
