Who would not want a drama-free life? When your day is always cleaning the pile of dishes, preparing meal, changing diapers, bathing mud-coated little bodies, looking silly to entertain, changing diapers again, putting them to bed and the same list goes on and on - it definitely breaks you apart. Super Mom needs, rather badly needs an hour of " me time".
Motherhood is a challenging job. When you're still enjoying the perks of being single, you'll always hear and read that being a mother is the most rewarding path you'll take. Oh yes, it can be at some point but, the reality is it is mostly draining, sanity-sucking, mind-blowing and uhmm plainly emotions are just everywhere. Yes, you get chummy, funny and just happy but, you can't deny that most of the times it is rough. You even miss a bathe. Where's the justice?
It's not just once that I broke apart. This calling is taking its toll on me. Then one day, I just blurted it out to my husband.
"I need a break. Some space". Tears came running down. It seems like motherhood is not for me. An escape is the solution, I guess. Silence fill the room. Then came flashing all the good times with my family, memorable moments with my precious little ones and my strong connection with the man sitting next to me. My man said no word but instead hugged me tightly. I snapped out of my bewilderment. That hug was a recharging energy for Super Mom's downtime.
Superman has his own kryptonite and so does we. Natural being as we are, moms are entitled to experience all the roller coaster emotions. It's ok to break down and cry. Many moms share the same sentiments. You're not alone. This is what motherhood is. Super Mom also breaks down, like everyone else. I am a Super Mom.
