The Bazzarre Nature of Women

When your a teenage girl, the only things on your mind is your appearance and guys. Which kind of goes together if you think about it? The better you look, the hotter the guy. And when you're a teenage girl hotness is all that really matters. Then you get a little older and start to think about marriage and the inside qualities of men. Will he be a good husband, good father, good provider? So you settle down with some nice guy that fits all of your "criteria", and depending on how shallow you are hopefully you are madly in love with them so you get married. Now if your like me(I'm not saying you are) you immediately begin picturing yourself with babies, babies and more babies!!! Because after all that will make your family complete and fulfill that "nurturing" side of you that has been screaming to get out. Then you and your husband start to notice people who have small children and the judging starts..........of beware of the judging!! Your in the grocery store, you see a woman with 3 small children and one is a newborn. Aw www he's so sweet, you want one so bad. Then one of the older children says "mommy I want cookies!!!" Mommy says " no sweetheart you've had enough sugar today so no cookies." the child throws herself on the floor screaming like someone is using a branding iron on her"I want cookies!!!! I want cookies!!! I hate you mommy!!!! I hate you!!" Mom rolls her eyes, newborn starts to bawl so mom starts to make a bottle and notices that the middle child is throwing bags of cereal on the ground and stomping on them saying " look mom, it's crunchy!!" Mom is shaking the bottle and shoving it in the baby's face with one hand, kicking the oldest with her foot yelling"get off the ground RIGHT NOW!!!!!!" With the hand that's free she grabs the middle child and flings her into the basket chucking the cereal back into the shelf still yelling at the oldest"YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW OR I'M GONNA TAKE YOU TO THE CAR AND WEAR YOU OUT!!!" The look on her face, the tone of her voice.............it's something you never want to be. And you convince yourself that you will never be! What a nightmare that mom was you think to yourself, Surely I will never get that fat and out of shape, that angry and mean, my kids will never behave that way you say. Honey, watch out!!! IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN TO YOU! And whats even better is when this chaos is going on and someone tries to come up and give advice or "help". Then you tell of an innocent bystander who more than likely has good intentions. When does this change in your personality happen? How does it happen? I have no answers, I just know that something happens when that second child comes along, controlled chaos is your new reality. I see it everyday which makes me feel better about my own life to tell yo the truth. Moms come in the daycare with one child, still look pretty good. They had time to put makeup on and workout before they got here. Moms with 2 or more...........he he, it's a different story. Stressed, disheveled, and sleep-deprived. You have become your own worst nightmare, but for some reason you love every minute of it.
