I am a huge fan of Momversation.com. Every week they have a new video blog entry on different topics, but this week they have read my mind and talked about what is harder – being a wife or being a mother? I am 8 weeks away from becoming a mother and have no delusions about how difficult it will be. I still remember being 12 and trying to put to sleep my very sick 1.5 year old brother and then at about 5am making a promise to myself that I will never EVER have children.
I wonder if transitioning to parenthood will be as difficult as it was entering the wifehood. Both Dennis and I often look back at our first year together and unanimously agree that it was nothing but a miracle that we have stayed together. We were young, selfish and had no idea what we were signing up for. I had no idea what it meant to be a wife. A good wife.
I feel like I am entering motherhood with more realistic picture in mind and more prepared but then again… neither husbands nor babies come with a manual. So for me, the jury is still out on what is harder, but I will keep you posted.
