My son is 7 months old and I am in my early 20's (30's)... Anywho, I never thought that I would be given the opportunity to do all the things with my kids that I saw other parents forget to do. But now I know that they didn't forget, they were probably exhausted and were doing their best just to be present in life.
Now I know what they were going through. Before I had a baby I used to have a list of all the wonderful things I would do with the baby.
How I thought it would go:
I would read to him everyday
I would bathe him everyday
I would dress him to the T everyday
I will only feed him home made food
I will strictly breastfeed him
Basically I thought I would be a SUPER mom!
How it actually went:
I read to him for the first 2 months but I was just too tired to keep my eyes open!
Nobody "NEEDS" to bathe everyday, blah!
There's nothing more comfortable then a onsie and sweat pants (they match at least)
Sometimes I run out of stuff to make baby food and don't want to go to the grocery store
I tried, and did breastfeed him for the first 5 months but I just didn't have the supply. Trust me I wish I could have....that's the one thing I am really sad about!
Wait!....I am a SUPER mom, at least that's what Ej says.
I think that we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. Well I am not perfect nor do I want to be, I would really be NO fun!
