| For All Mothers |
| Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby… Somebody doesn't know that once you’re 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 teenage with a driver’s permit. Somebody said if you’re 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 their back door just in time to see their child hit a golf ball through the neighbor’s kitchen window. Somebody said you don’t need an education to be a mother… Somebody never helped a 4th grader with her math. Somebody said you can’t love a fifth child as much as you love the first… Somebody doesn't have five children. Somebody said a mother can find the answers to all 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 tried to organize four giggling brownies to see cookies. Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married… Somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mothers 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 don’t need to tell her… Somebody isn’t a mother. |
