My friend recently introduced me to these blogs. Being that I am obsessed with my computer and spend too much time on it already, I latched right on and started reading all of these blogs.
After reading through many of them, I actually found myself (already having a pity poor me day) feeling even worse about myself. I thought... is this really their reality?? Is everything really all sunshine and roses for all of these moms? It can't be... right?? I thought, okay, other moms out there need to know they are not alone. That while parenting can be the most rewarding job, coexisting with these creatures that we call children can be a mystery and completely exhausting!
Let me start by stressing the disclaimer that I love my husband and my three wonderful boys. I would take a bullet for anyone of them in a heart beat. I do try to remember to see the good in things and the opportunities to make them better.
That being said. The reality of life with three boys, on a very limited income, in this economy, can be, well... interesting, difficult, exhausting and filled with anything but sunshine and roses! Yes, it can be funny, amazing, life altering and beautiful at times also.
While my life is filled with love and joy with my boys... it is also often filled with anger and a feeling of failure. It is my goal in to raise three well rounded, respectful, successful, loving men. I often go through my daily life wondering if that will ever come to be. I often feel like I am struggling to swim upstream against so many waves. The harsh waves of our society, TV, video games and their peers all seem to be beating me down. I'm really trying to keep afloat and drag my kids along with me. While trying to keep my kids well fed and clothed and well influenced... while trying to instill values and the ways of life... I am ever so often referred to as... "THE MEANEST MOM EVER!"
