Some Body Said About Motherhood §
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you have
had a baby - somebody does not know that once you are a mother,
"Normal," is History. §
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct - somebody never took
a three-year-old shopping. §
Somebody said being a mother is boring - somebody never rode in a car driven
by a teenager with a driver's permit.
§
Somebody said if you are a "good" mother, your child will
"turn out good” - somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a
guarantee. §
Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices - somebody
never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball
through the neighbor's kitchen window. §
Somebody said you do not need an education to be a mother - somebody never
helped a fourth grader with her math. §
Somebody
said you could not love the fifth child as much as you love the first - somebody
does not have five children. §
Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing
questions in the books - somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or
in his ears. §
Somebody
said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery - somebody never
watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten or
on a plane headed for military "boot camp." §
Somebody said a mother can do her job with
her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back - somebody never organized
four giggling Brownies to sell cookies. §
Somebody said a mother could stop worrying after her child gets married -
somebody does not know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to mother's
heartstrings. §
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home -
somebody never had grandchildren. §
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you do not need to tell her
- somebody is not a mother. – submitted |
