03/25 Tired of Being a Mom

Quote From: rainpainrain

That is the most difficult part of it...people don't want to see mothers (and fathers) as merely human, they think we are some how superhuman.

I have had a hard time being a mom and my kid is perfectly healthy and "normal"...I can't imagine dealing with complications on top of it.

 Exactly.
And like the poster you responded to said, having a SUPPORT system is vital.
I don't think this Mother is evil, or a horrible parent, and to have Hubby say its "Easy" I supposed it is if you only deal with it for a couple of hours a day.
I remember coming home from work some days, and wondering how these Moms do it day after day, I admit I'm not sure I could, again I was with them for 4-6 hours a day, weekends off, summers and holidays off, and then not only the one child, but having to meet the physical and emotional needs of their so- called "normal " children, it takes a toll on the siblings as well, I've listened to these Mothers vent and cry, and more than people may think have the same feelings, they aren't evil people, they are HUMAN.
