So, as a new mother, I seek advice from the older and wiser mothers I know. Those experienced mothers who may or may not appear to have it all together but, they have kids. Their kids are surviving so clearly they must have done something right. The problem is, these women LIE. Whatever problem I mention to them, it never happened to them. "What did you do when your baby woke up screaming because he was teething?" The response "My baby
never woke up. He slept all night long like a sweet angel and magically woke up with a mouth full of teeth. We are so lucky. It must be SO hard for you." Really? Are you kidding me?
You liar. I'm not asking for the secrets to the universe. Just some advice. Hook a mother up! I have come to the conclusion that MOMS LIE! Why? I don't really know. Is it so that no one knows they had no idea what they were doing? Is it fun to watch someone falter? Maybe it is some twisted desire to make sure that they are the better mother or their child is the "good one". All I can do is offer the truth about what motherhood is like for me. Hopefully, it will help some other mom out there.
