I’m sorry that Mr. Difficult seems to be so very bitter. Being a mother is NOT an easy thing – although it is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever experienced. This list is incredibly insightful & humorous! It’s helpful, for all of us mothers who try so hard & feel like failures sometimes because, no matter what we do, we will never be perfect! It helps to know that we are not alone in the things that we feel & the experiences that we have. It seems to me that #1 – Mr Difficult (while I admire him raising his child alone) OBVIOUSLY does Not know what it means to be a MOM! and #2 – he is somehow insulted by honesty! I give you Kudos, Alisa, for being brave enough to be honest about just a few of the crazy, scary things that motherhood entails!

Mr. Difficult is sad that you’re someone’s mom because you said pregnant women find crud in their underwear and your boobs will sag after nursing? And moms are forgetful? And you noted that little kids like to feel people up and say brutally honest things at times when it is embarassing for the parent? And because you point out parents are always short on sleep and childbirth involves pain? And we parents get used to poop and actually become experts? And you observe kids learn to manipulate us and we tend to turn into our own parents despite our intentions? And kid stuff, including birthday gifts, are expensive? And our hair changes? All this, but in a funnier way of course (I personally can relate to 16) and this makes him sad you are someone’s Mom? I know you must have the good sense not to listen to that crazy guy, but I can’t even find anything remotely offensive in what you said. They were humorous observations. Nothing in that post said that you aren’t an devoted parent who loves their kids to bits and wouldn’t go through much more humiliation and sleep deprivation if it meant keeping your kids happy. In contrast, your ability to find the humor in the trial and tribulations of raising children, and to reach out and resonate with other parents, shows you have passion and joy in your parenting. I feel really sad there are children out there whose parents focus on belittling others rather than enjoying the humor to be found in our common role as Moms and Dads. Thanks to you for a great post!

It’s quite interesting to me that the women who replied all seemed to agree but “Mr. Difficult” thinks it’s bogus. Clearly I need to keep my thought regarding his reasons for that to myself… Anyway, though I do not have children I watch them fairly regularly and have found most of the things you stated to be true in my experience. I can’t vouch for the breast-feeding parts though.
