So my son is 2. His father and I are no longer together and haven’t been for about 6 months. He has been with his new girlfriend since about two weeks after we broke up. My son calls her mom. She has two kids if her own so yes I get that he hears it a lot so he says it too but I also saw pictures that my sons father and her had taken of the kids holding up the letters that spell out mom. I am not happy about this. Yes my feelings are hurt. I can’t decide if it’s what my son wants or if he does t understand the situation so he does t know and he’s just doing what he is told. Has anyone been in this situation and how did you handle it. His father sees no issues with it and says if the roles were reversed he would be okay because our son will have another dad eventually. My son only has one “mom” no other women raised him. She just came into his life 6 months ago. I just don’t see how that’s acceptable or respectful. Maybe I’m being crazy. Any advice?

Introduction

It’s very difficult in this day and age to go through an experience and not compare yourself to those you see online. Social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook all have influencers who show you their lives through rose colored glasses - or should I say a rose colored phone screen. It’s extremely easy to get sucked into that infinite scroll, your thumb flicking through video after video as your mind wonders on how in the world a normal person could keep up with a lifestyle shown.

As a 23 year old women who recently became a mother, I have found myself mindlessly scrolling and watching. Watching videos of mother’s showing how they’re going back to work after 6 weeks and how sad they are. Watching videos of mother’s who seem to be blessed by the Lord and have an infinite supply of breast milk, seemingly like they could pump for their whole neighborhood. Watching videos of mother’s staying home with their baby and getting so much done around the house. Watching those videos, it always had me comparing myself to what I was viewing. It left me feeling worthless, like I’m not enough if I couldn’t do what those mother’s could do. Though knowing that most of those videos must be fake, it’s hard to even imagine there are women going through the same things I am. Those videos make me think I am all alone, that no body knows my struggles or even my successes.

The space I want to create is a place of haven. A place to get away from all of the fakeness of those social media influencers . A place to be real with one another!

The point I would like to try to express to everyone reading is that I am 100% real. All of my opinions, stories, and experiences are real.

Transparency should be one of the biggest things in the “mom” community and that has been lost. I hope to inspire more people to step away from comparing themselves to those mother’s in the videos, and realize that they are not as perfect as they seem. Everyone is human, even moms.

So I guess the post I made about my daughter going to get her assessment in pre-K early pre-K night I had did not go as I expected it we met after they compiled their data from their meeting with Penny, and she is now being switched and being put on an IEP, she won’t be in the same classroom that she wants was and I am Feeling like a failure as a mother and I know that the things that she needs work on are things that we continually work on at home and see progress on and she is a very shy kid. They did note that and so the teacher that has her now even mentioned starting her over she just now in the middle of the school year has started to open up in that classroom, and I just feel like moving to a new classroom. She will be even further behind, but I have faith that things will go well, even though my car’s transmission just went out along with his windshield wipers I know that’s a weird combination and I’m struggling to afford things, but  i’m hoping that just staying positive will be enough to get us through this because she is a very smart child, and a very independent child for only being three years old. She has such an old soul and is so full of laughter and positivity. I don’t know where I’m going with us, but I just needed to vent so thank you for listening.

I can't even today man I can't even. I'm sitting here trying to think of how I want to write a post for the tarot thingy that I am working on and here comes my two-year-old daughter screaming hysterically. Her name is Luna Lilith and she's pointing her finger at me yelling something. I am looking for blood, or broken bones or anything that could be ailing this toddler. All I understand is "rsdhdjdjdjwosisj (like the little boy Donnie from the wild thornberries) and get it."

She stares right up into my face as close as she can get pointing with her finger right to my eye. I flinch cuz she too damn close. And then she says "booger."

All that screaming, scaring the s*** out of me, she almost put the damn booger in my eye.

Laughing hysterically, she says "get it, haha mom."

Just had a booger on her finger, that's it. LMAO rofl

Unsolicited Mom /Grandma advice on Laundry.

Stop beating yourself up if you didn’t fold and put your laundry away! No one cares and you don’t have to. If you live out of baskets or even the dryer you are doing great. Give yourself a high five and kudos to you. That’s a huge accomplishment! Also it’s ok to wear clothes a couple times before washing them if you are not sweating in them profusely. Be kinder to yourself. Spray Fabreeze on that shirt. It’s all good.

Dear Dairy,

The boys' godmom swooped in with Easter baskets today, and let me tell you, it's like a comedy sketch in the making. I mean, just the other day, I was on the verge of sending her a strongly worded text because, let's face it, her friendship game has been faker than a pressed on nail. She's only graced the boys with her presence once since they made their grand exit from the hospital almost 5 months ago. And when she did finally show up, she spent half the time giving us a play-by-play of her latest drama. I'm talking full-on monologue, folks. Now, I'm stuck here contemplating whether I should unleash my inner drama queen and confront her. Any advice, dear readers? Or am I just being too extra? But hey, let's not forget, I've been knee-deep in the trenches of new motherhood. Who's got time for fake friends when you're in the midst of diaper duty and midnight feedings, am I right? Anyway, despite the theatrics, the boys are ecstatic with their loot

-C. 💋
