I've been reading mom/baby articles a lot of late. I've read them for years as i do have friends and sisters with babies, but obviously i enjoy them a bit more now that i'm going to BE a mom. A lot of these articles run along the lines of "It's so exhausting BUT worth it" and "Those years were awful and traumatizing BUT you will look back on them fondly" and "Stay-At-Home-Moms VS. Working Moms- let's bash each other" and "Why my child is/isn't the center of my world". Today I read one about The Selfish Mom, and it is how i have always pictured myself. I intend to love them and be frustrated with them and dote on them, but i don't intend to fall apart, i don't intend to give up everything or make them my *entire* world. It is okay to spend time by myself and it is okay to teach them to play by themselves or say no every now and then...
