Mom guilt. Why???? Why do moms put so much pressure on themselves? Seriously. It's RI-DICULOUS. Here I am nursing my 20 month old and feeling GUILTY that I REALLY want her to wean. Not just for convenience or anything either. I am tired. I miss my medications that make me feel NORMAL. I want to be able to brush my hair without 1/4 of my hair falling out. I want to be able to roll over when I sleep. Have I weaned her? No. Why? Because I feel guilty. Maybe also because I feel like its the biggest bond we have and she's such a daddy's girl she probably won't need me anymore once she's weaned. (Again, I'm ridiculous.)
I like to vedge. How do you spell that? Veg? Vedge? Vedg? Whatever. I am sort of vegetable-ish. I like my down time. When I'm on my phone or computer or reading...do you think I'm enjoying it? No, not really. Most of the time I'm thinking about the 1.45 million other things I feel like I SHOULD be doing.
I also like to try to dad guilt my husband. OMG YOU ARE ON THE COMPUTER AGAIN!?!?! UGH. BIG HUFF. Why?? The man deserves a break. Yeah, sometimes the breaks are a little long ;) but seriously, does it really matter? Yes, we need to re-prioritize a bit because we have ALL become a little too lazy and into the electronics but that's a FAMILY issue, not him.
So anyways. Mom guilt is NOT cool. Why do we do this moms? Why do we feel like each day has to be full of learning activities desquised as fun (who are we kidding?!?! not the kids) while eating homemade from scratch meals (paleo! no vegan! no! grain free!! no dyes!!! no msg!!!) around our impeccably designed homes that are immaculate?
We. Are. Ridiculous.
Be lazy. I dare you.
