Let's Discuss Motherhood

Struggles of a Mother

My Son & I

It's interesting being a mother

You get on her nerves, but she loves you like no other

Her cooking is delectable

She likes her house impeccable

& Although she is funny like a comedian...

Her convos are intellectual

If it's up to her to take you to school, you're always late

But there are no complaints, cause your belly is full from the food that she cooked & you ate it

If you forgot to do your chores, but you stayed focused in school...your punishment could be negotiated

Her tolerance for B.S. is itty bitty, but now that we've gotten the sweet stuff out of the way...let's get to the nitty gritty

Being a mother is tough,

Sometimes you wanna scream, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"...

Then I remember that my son is innocent & his life is already rough

Everyone wants to glorify being a single mother...but the truth is that it's always better to have a significant other

We weren't meant to raise our children alone

It's like these new era mothers are drones

Letting everyone else mind but their own...teach our children, the heirs to our throne

Two people made one, so two people need to raise one...it shouldn't just be left to the mother

It's hard out here...and it's tough to steer, your child onto the right path when all you have is fear that you, alone, aren't good enough

They say it takes a village, but often the village runs away

They say it takes a village, but really mommy is the one who saves the day

No bunnies, no santa, no cupid

So pleeaassee don't get stuck on stupid in believing that Mom didn't work hard for what you have

She doing her best, there's never enough time for her to rest

I'M SPEAKING ON MY BEHALF

My mother always told me that, "We are the world's first teacher."

I know this to be true

When I birthed my son, I knew it would be fun, but he also came with difficult lessons too

I know you wanna give up, but you can't

So do what you have to do, take a break to unleash your overdue rant

Cause whether we like it or not, these are the cards that we were dealt

So continue to try, there's no time to cry

Make your experience with motherhood heartfelt

When you look into their eyes, when you have to bear their cries...just know that you ARE NOT alone

Cause when it's their time, you'll be in your prime... when you have to pass down your throne!
