I so totally can relate to this post, as I am sure a million other moms out there can. I especially hate when filling out surveys when the list “homemaker”. I hate that title worse than not having one at all. Add a puppy into the mix and life gets very interesting I must say!

thank you for writing this! I need to show it to my husband to let him know that it is NOT just me. He doesn't believe that others think/feel this, he thinks it is just me and that i need to fix "whatever is wrong". thanks for letting me know I am not alone. workout mommy's lastest post..Kind of like a twinkie, but not really

I've started attaching swiffer wet jet pads to the bottom of the moosh's feet. Works wonders when she throws a foot stomping fit in the kitchen. I personally enjoy a good walk in the mall to spend his money. Heh. xoxo moosh in indy.'s lastest post..blog fizzle. fo’ shizzle.

honestly, people who would be offended by this post are clearly not the primary caretakers of their own little kids. if if they say they are they are liars. it is not possible to be a normal human being and be day in day out with multiple, (or even one) little kids without at some point wanting to tell them to shut their cry holes, or without fantasizing about hanging them upside down in a closet by their toenails. when my son was first born everytime he cried i *wanted to* (but didn't) stuff a ball of socks in his mouth to shut him up. my newborn son. of course there was a major case of PPD involoved that required medication, but my point is kids make you crazy sometimes. literally. but you love them anyway because you are their parents. little kids are made cute so you don't strangle them. cuteness is their defense mechanism. anyone who thinks otherwise can bite my ass!! and i'm not as nice to trolls. (or i wouldnt be if i had any at least. my mom is the only one who ever reads my blog. haha!) litanyofbritt's lastest post..bitchfest!!

Raising kids turns life into one long chore-filled day. Luckily there are also some great rewards for parents along the way. As a stay-at-home-dad I relate strongly to the need for adult conversation. Reservoir Dad Reservoir Dad's lastest post..A Home Dad, Oozing Dr Hook Coolness, Rocking His Children

This is me lately. I lost my job (thanks for your comment) and I've been just going through life like I'm trying to fight my way out of a black hole. I finally grab the edges to try to pull myself out and I'm sucked back in again. It's hard. It's so hard. And I'm so glad I'm not alone in feeling like this. Robin's lastest post..Life continues

I just want to thank you for publishing this. I know how hard it can be to try and be the mother you want to be and watching yourself, as it were, being the mother you never wanted to be. We ALL have days like this - even the ones who came here to criticise you; but they're too scared to admit it, just like they're too scared to leave a forwarding address. I need breaks too and rarely take them until I am at breaking point. I need to start dating my husband again and getting in a babysitter twice a month. Well done you for being the voice of so many of us. Is a new washing machine in your future?? Siobhan's lastest post..Photo Hunt: String(s)

I wish I didn’t know this feeling.

I wish I hadn’t hit publish so many damn times myself on This Post.

But at the very, very least – know you are not alone.

And it does NOT last forever. ((HUGS))

i am so very late to this discussion. it's been on my mind since i first read it yesterday. i honestly believe that the angry reactions we have to our children are COMPLETELY normal and in fact they stem from our hard-wiring. seeing how mom gets pissed when they demand too much reinforces our children's desire to learn more, to try more, to take more steps toward independence. it also exposes them to another emotion they are going to have to know how to handle from others. please go easy on yourself. as a mom to two boys who are 1 year 1 month 1 week and 1 day apart, i've been in your shoes. they are now 7 and 8. somehow, we all survived. be well. and go easy on yourself. patty's lastest post..stop the mommy wars
