I am sure I have posted about this before, but I just want to know…WHY is it that new mommies can’t seem to take a shower? I ask this because I can’t count how many times I have read, in a parenting magazine, how busy a mother is…how she can’t seem to get in the shower because she is so busy with her ONE five month old. Well, let’s see…IF showering is important to you, and let’s face it, who wants to smell like BO and baby spit up…take one while baby is napping. And as a mother of five, I KNOW babies nap, so you can’t say they don’t. IF you do have that one infant on earth that never sleeps, EVER…letting them cry for five minutes won’t hurt them, or you. Really, it won’t…I promise.

And why do they always seem to interview women about the ‘wiseness of motherhood.’ when they have a 2 and 4 year old. Now, let me say…I KNOW you learn alot about kids in those first two years, but are there NO other women out there with more than two kids, AND perhaps some of those kids are teens or even young adults? I want wisdom from someone that has been there and done that, not someone that might be there one day, and perhaps will have to deal with that.

I don’t get it!
