Beginning with labor and moving swiftly into motherhood, there are moments, many of them, when we ask ourselves “why am I doing this?” Not to discourage the still expectant moms out there, but the stark reality is that this mommy business can be a lonely road, with twists and turns you never in your wildest dreams imagined would happen to you.
Do I regret being a mom twice over? Not on your life. I will say however, that raising children is often hair-raising and has presented the biggest challenges of my life to date. Right when you think you’ve had it, something wonderful happens: your baby smiles, your toddler rides a trike, your older child makes ‘kid art’ just for you, your teenager wraps their arms around you in an unexpected hug.
So, today, Labor Day, I tip my hat to all the moms and moms- to- be; giving birth is hard work and so is being a mom…both will leave you forever changed.
