Messy house, no time for a 5-minute nap, kids running all around, even if you have an only child, it can sometimes feel like the house is a whole kindergarten! Then these “blessed cherubs” come to you saying “Mommy, I am hungry!” – starting to feel like life?
The Bleeping Motherhood team understands mothers try to see the fun side in everything, even in the things they hate. Handling the everyday “commotion” with a portion of positive vibes! That’s why we’ve compiled a list of things every mommy hates; to remind you that you aren’t alone. We’re all in this together. And that when your kids grow up, all the things you hated about raising them, will become the dearest to your heart.
Things Moms Hate
#5 Shower after Shower
Babies are very spontaneous; you can’t plan things and fulfill them precisely with a little child. When it seems like you have showered your baby and put him to sleep and are about to leave the room after kissing the little one good night, it’s when you start smelling something unpleasant. And its a big one, up the back, down the leg, possibly over the shoulder? Right you are – time to take the baby for another shower. Too bad he couldn’t tell you he needs to use the toilet before sleep.
Of course, nothing can be more tiring than having to do the same job twice – another 30 minutes of your “poor sleep” will be gone but that’s children.
#4 Doorbells
Ah, these unexpected doorbells! Your guests never know when your child is asleep. They have no idea that by ringing the doorbell they simply ruined your minutes of heavenly peace. It seems like your head will explode – on the one side someone is ringing that damn doorbell non-stop, on the other side – your baby has started crying – well, welcome dear guests; let’s calm the baby down together. Lots of fun, huh?
#3 Toys, Toys Everywhere!
Another thing that mommies hate is not having a place to put your feet on in a house full of thrown toys when you actually have to run around and manage to do all your chores. What’s worse is when you step on one of these toys and the pain you get is really terrible, that’s what makes you scream at your child for the 100th time to collect his toys or at least move them somewhere else.
Well, that’s what childhood is about – throwing the toys around the house and not even touching them. Well played, kids!
#2 Tiny Socks
Now, try to find the right pair of your kids’ tiny socks in a house full of toys. Yes, seems like the most difficult puzzle to ever be solved. The first thing that comes to your mind is: “I can’t even find my socks that are bigger, how am I supposed to find these baby socks?”
The solution is one – turn the search into fun – tell your child, if he is old enough to move on his own, to join you and the hope that the socks will be found, will increase greatly. And if not, embrace mismatched socks. Or go barefoot!
#1 Traveling with a Toddler
No, we don’t mean that mothers hate traveling with their babies! It’s just all the preparations and other minute things about it that overwhelm many mommies.
First, there are so many things that you should take with you – diaper bags, wipes, plastic bags, blankets, back-up clothes, baby-care lotions, etc, – so many preparations; it can be overwhelming.
And then, the realization that the travel is not for themselves, – no, dear mommy, you are not going to have a rest with a toddler! You will have to keep an eye on your kid all the time regardless of where you are at, especially if you have gone to a beach.
Flying on a plane with a toddler is another thing you will hate, especially if your kid is restless and keeps moving all the time!
And finally, regardless of all the tiredness, all the restless nights, all the physical and mental sacrifices that mothers take, they all must be sure that it’s all more than worthy because children bring the greatest happiness and joy into the life of women – they’ll make the best memories for you!
