I don't want a life without my MOM in it, but I'm not SOMEONE who curls up in the fetal position and SAYS, 'Mommy, take care of me!' I don't like people catering to me. It FEELS so awkward and uncomfortable.
We have to support each other's tired nerves, I know that SOUNDS so Pollyanna, but really... Mommy groups can be amazing, but haven't you ever gone to one and FELTLIKE you are back in high school, TOTALLY on the outside of the 'cool kids' club? I totally have!
And it's BEAUTIFUL - the man that I MARRIED has NEVER ever put just a limit on to what I could do and would do as a woman, as his wife, as a mommy. He actually pushes me out the door a little sometimes more than I WANTED him to.
