Motherhood…it seems to be the only thing on my mind these days. Holding a lil child in my arms..holding MY child…a child born out of love and togetherness. I keep thinkign about it all day…I walk past a baby store and I suddenly get all mushy..even teary…some sort of inner desperation and lonliness takes over.
I dun’t know how to describe it… it’s like when you know that there is something that you should be doing and you’re not doing it..I feel deprived..I feel like argh…it’s so hard to describe. I’ve become so emotional…and this has nothing to do with having or not having a man in my life…or does it?
I thought about it and I think I’d be happy even if I adopted a child…maybe what I’m lookign for is my own family…it’s like I’ve grown up suddenly and it’s all just hit me.
It sounds like you arent married yet! This should come first, lol! Kidding aside, its a lovely wish to have little ones, may you be so blessed with them! It isnt all happiness and roses, I'm sure you know that...its a tougher job to be a good mom than it is to have a high-stress career on wall street! Been there, done both...wouldnt trade my stay-at-home mom job for ANYTHING, but it aint easy thats fer sher, things would be easier on me if I went back to work and sent the kiddies to day care! lol, wouldnt dream of it, even tho my beautiful well-dressed, handsome hubby comes home to an exhaused, baby-spit-covered, bedraggled mama! May you be as blessed as I!
btw, wanted to add, even if you are a stay at home mama with a busy schedule, you can still make yourself beautiful just like your husband, let him take care of the kids on weekend and go for a beauty facial or a relaxing message! Moms need it even more.
^^ Hey now. I am running into a long meeting but please I love my wife the way she is, Please dont give her any ideas about beauty parlors (times are tough and corporate santa didnt give me a big bonus this year).
Lastknightess when Mamaof3 goes for the facial with saadiaB you can comeover and satisfy your kid's itch by baby sitting them.
Once you get a whiff of a solid poop drained in urine, sticking to a kids butt for over an 1 hr i'll ask if you still have an itch. Or when one cries the other two join in to complete the three part symphony.
Well you guys talk as if I;ve never been around kids…I have a great lil 2 year old nephew and I’m God mother to a 8 month old niece..them and their pals (aged 2, 3 and 2.5) are frequent visitors at my home…yep I do the nappy changing for all 4 of them, and yes they’re usually with me over night..I love it when I have 4 lil angels asleep aroudn me..and I;m usually the first one to doze off
I do know it’s a tough job…the toughest one in the world in fact..and respect and admiration goes out to all mothers everywhere. They truly are angels without wings.
Me too..I wish I had a baby in my arms..sigh.. kash..“eik din Gisele ho..doosray din Heidi ho…teesray din..Ashwairya ho..” kitnay saarey babies… unfortunately, I only have a 19 month old.
LK to tell you the truth the other day I spent a whole hour in the baby section of the mall. I cant believe I did that. But everything in there is so adorable. One lady even asked if I was pregnant the “early stage” or something.
But yeah I can understand exactly how you’re feeling. God I love babies. We had some very young kids at the Eid party and it was so fun! Our house is always so silent and when kids come over its just great.
Oh yeah you might change your mind when you think of all the things that can go wrong. Then it makes you want to wait and think your head off before you decide to have your own kids.
Those cute little babies change and become not so cuddly from about 5 on and then it is the clash of wills til one of you die (case in point - my mom and I). Not to mention the fact that for the last 3 or 4 years you take care of them til they reach the promised land of sweet 18, you pray nightly for the strength not to beat them daily or chain them in the basement. Trust me, there are days like that. As a parent of a 15 yr old girl and a 17 yr old boy, I know from experience.
Having kids means -----
no free time
no going out after work with co-workers unless babysitter in place
no spur of the moment shopping, heck, no personal shopping at all because..
no money to call yours
your sick days and personal days are no longer yours, they are for your kids appointments
no sleeping late, for the first 9 months, no sleeping for longer than a 3 hour stretch
no being sick, kid comes first
minah thousands of babies are being born everyday...and mothers go in for a second..nothing you say can take away the joy of it..yes it comes at a price...but doesn;t everything?
Sidra my bro is 10 yrs younger than I am...and I love him more than I love anyone on the face of this earth.
Even though I am done with the kids, already have two, but man I can not tell you how much I want her to get pregnant again. But LK I hear you, there is nothing like having kids, the only sad part is that they gorw up so quickly. :(
lk dear, stages, all part of growing up. But eventually when u do have kids, u feel like killing them when they start crying…not literally of course.
