No one said it’d be easy

You’ve no doubt heard it before. Being a mother is a full-time job.
I really got that message loud and clear when I was a staying home with my daughter. But I was only working part-time at home. Hard enough.
Now I’m working oustside of the home too. That gives me a break of sorts, in that I’m not mothering all day. But after dealing with people all day (I’m working as a customer service representative), I find it exhausting to then come home and be a full-time mother also.
Not that I wasn’t exhausted before, mind you.
I don’t know how people do it! Let’s see how long it’ll take me to acclimate to my new lifestyle.

Taking care of a child is indeed a full-time job in itself.
This reminds me of my mom and what she had to go through with my two brothers. I want to wish you the best of luck. I believe that moms are the most amazing people in the world for what they do.
So much true! I want to speak here on behalf of all the mothers on earth especially my mom. We are 5 kids in the family. Four boys including me and one girl our eldest. I have witness the sacrifice of my mom during those days when we were yet students, she really worked hard so much for us, Disciplining us. Nourishing us. And everything. And I want to thank her for that. I love you mom!
I am not a mother yet, but I know how hard it is to have a child. I can see that through my sister-in-law, she has two daughters. My mother said that to me all the time, that someday, when I have my own family and children, I will experience it too. I’m so thankful that my Mom took care of us very well. She’s a real gem! ^_^
People should start calling motherhood a career. And mothers should be getting the credit due them
