They have no clue about parenthood..lol

MY TOP TEN  SIGNS SOMEONE DOESN’T HAVE KIDS.

10) They get grossed out by the sight of vomit.

9) They look generally well-rested, use terms like "beauty sleep", and claim exhaustion after just one late night out.

8) They apply make up to get a smoky-eyed look, when you don’t even own make up anymore, and the dark rings are natural.

7) Their clothes look freshly laundered and there is no evidence of dried snot on their shoulders.

6) They have coffee tables that actually have things on them, that can break.

5) They think sleepwalking is a disorder not just the activity done to get from one place to another

4) They call you to make plans without a lead-time of at least two months.

3) They think you sit down together and have dinner, and not that dinner is a tag team event.

2) They equate having a baby with having a dog/cat. Then they put food in a bowl on the floor and leave their dog/cat to go out for the evening.

1) They think going out to dinner with a kid is an enjoyable/relaxing activity

if only for my vanity

When you become a mother your world changes...

Its as if you now see the leaves that were only green blobs before. This little person is your gift and your responsibility. The thing that you never knew you missed till you found it and now your world won't be the same without it. Wow! that is major! 

Your time is no longer selfishly divided into doing things for yourself at your leisure. Your world becomes about making his world perfect.

Then one day you catch yourself, in between being a wife, a mother and having some sort of career, and you wonder who have I become? Am I the person starring at this person in the mirror? Who is that and why does she look that way? Is that flabby/chubby/ungroomed person, me? Gross!!!

Somewhere between disbelieve bordering on a little bit of disgust, I started to think hate my body...

 But this was the same body, after all, that had not only carried a beautiful boy but also made it through labour, and natural birth.  It is a strong body. But it doesn't look like mine, any more. 

So I decided to take my body back, and be a little selfish... 

well if only for my vanity...
