Moms are pretty much the best. But just because many of them are amazing and lovely and badass doesn’t mean they don’t have their moments of frustration with their children. Or that they don’t sometimes think they might even hate them.
Even though it’s 2014 and self-deprecating mommyblogging has been around for a billion internet years, it’s still looked down upon for mothers to publicly express much besides quiet, serene joy over the fact that they’re moms. And, I mean, the double standard kind of makes sense. When people express regret over not having children, they don’t stand to emotionally traumatize actual living humans who stand to be hurt from that proclamation. It becomes less okay to publicly express regret over something when that something resulted in the existence of other people who will one day grow to discuss you with their therapists.
