I'll be the first person to jump into a conversation about the ups and the downs of motherhood. I love to talk to other moms about the stresses of parenting but I've noticed that not all of them want to talk about the down and dirty realities of it. So for the most part I keep my comments to myself or talk to my friend Kristie about them.
That was until my high school friend Erin posted a blog on Facebook about the stress of having a second child. Seeing someone else go through a stressful time like that made me realize that no one talks about this enough. If it wasn't for Erin posting that, I wouldn't have thought to do this blog. I need a place to get out my stresses, my worries and my fears about motherhood...along with all the good times. And I need a place where I can do that without feeling judged.
So here it goes...a little glimpse into the chaos that is my life with a 5 year old son. I was single and raised him alone (absolutely no help from the father) until 8 months ago when I met my boyfriend Aaron. Now we live with Aaron and he helps me with every aspect of Avery's life. My life has changed drastically (for the better) but I'm only human and I still have plenty to vent about when it comes to raising Avery and learning to balance a relationship and a child.

You are right, this isn't a very talked about subject. I missed Erin's note. I'll have to go look for it on facebook. Raising children isn't easy at all. I look forward to reading your blogs. An I hope anyone with one child or even more. Never judge you on your parenting skills.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following along! I figured enough crazy things happen with Avery around that I could fill a blog with it. :)
