Before I became a mom, I always say things that I wouldn't
do once I become a mother. Things that I would and would not do and some bunch stuff. Sometimes, I like to think that becoming a parent makes your
brain cells act pretty weird and all the things you've said before are suddenly - Poof,
Gone. You go to the hospital pretty
intelligent equipped with all the ideas and advises you've researched prior to
giving birth. But as soon as you see your little one right there in your arms
looking back at your face, everything would change. Turns out you really aren't
smart at all. Being a parent is really not easy. There is no reviewer or a book
that you can read that explains much about parenting.
So today, I’d like to share what motherhood did to me :D Most of my realizations are on the positive side, but here are some confessions that I'd like to spill.
·
I never liked ME time way back, but as soon as I
had my daughter, I've always wanted some time alone for myself, not with my
daughter, not with my husband. Just me. My me time right now is whenever I say I
am going to poop while I bring my phone with me in the rest room.
·
Sometimes, but not all the time, I use my
daughter to excuse myself from getting out of social obligations.
·
I easily get distracted whenever I have my phone
with me. While I lull my daughter to sleep on my right arm, I have my phone
with me on my left hand. Facebooking.
·
I hope my boss do not see this, but sometimes I call
in sick just to be with my daughter and to recharge my body due to lack of
sleep :D
·
I.Do.Not.Save - as in I buy lots of unnecessary
stuff for my daughter without my husband even knowing it. I always ask the
seller to ship the package here at my office so he wouldn't know that I have
new items for my daughter.
·
I am unable to keep up with the mess.
·
Before I had Milly, I’ve always disliked moms
who keep on posting pictures of their babies, but I am guilty as charged, I am already part of that
club.
·
I sometimes blame myself for not getting enough
sleep because I stay up and stare at my Facebook newsfeed.
·
Yep, I use iPad as her baby sitter. (Well, but not most of the time)
· I always C-H-E-A-T. Not the third party cheat kind of thing. I always get cheat days. I always tell myself that I am on a strict diet, but everyday is like a cheat day for me. (And now I am wondering why I still have this extra flappy belly)
· I feel proud of my our genes. Didn't know that my husband and I have a good combination. In my own world, my daughter is the MOST BEAUTIFUL. :)
It has only been 8 months and I am pretty sure that my list will be updated every now and then. Wait until Milly becomes a toddler.
How about you mommas? Do you have any confessions to share? ☻
