Why do mothers whinge?

[dalekboy]

You know how some mothers whinge about how hard it is, and how much they do, and how some folks look down on women who are 'only' mothers, and not in the workforce? What the fuck are they complaining about? It is so delightfully easy being a stay at home parent.

I was awake at 7, had some breakfast, and listened to an episode of Doctor who. So a nice gentle start.

Lex woke at 8:30, and since then I have been with him every minute, enjoying the beauty of the parent/child bond, including literally five hours of trying to get him to sleep, something I totally failed at, and he mostly screamed through.

I haven't gotten a single thing done, and I only managed time to eat and drink because Lex can feed himself.

See? It's easy bitches!

Do you do the "mothers" group thing? Or a playgroup? I found they helped my sanity a lot. (Still do!)

I love you :)

BTW, don't you just love it when you spend 3 hours trying o get them to sleep to have them only stay asleep for 30 minutes? Seems to be something wrong in that work/reward quotient somewhere. :P
