I hate being a mother.  If you don't have kids, think long and hard before you do.  Those tv commericials are lying to you.  It is not a fairy tale.

 My kids are of toddler and preschool age. They fight, scream and demand all the time. I am so unhappy. Noone tells you how awful it is to be a mother. noone! Yes there are little sweet things that happen from time to time but over all it's terrible. I am so exhausted that I can't sleep at night. My nerves are shot from the kids constant yelling, fighting, and having to explain, soothe, or whatevery 24/7. I am tired! The amount of work that it takes to be a Mom and a housewife is inhuman. I never have a moment to just relax because when I am I am thinking about what work has to be done. It's fucked up. Yes I love my kids but I hate mothering them.  Whatever happened to it takes a village to raise a child?  For the most part, I am the sole caregiver. My husband works from early morning until they are almost ready to go to bed. He has social functions for work and in my opinion has it real good. I had to give up my career and my entire existence for my children.  and do you think anyone appreciates it. It's just expected. I didn't even get a mother's day present last year.  I fantasize about running away from it all.  It's too much!!!  If I had to do it all over, I wouldn't have any children.
