  Advertisements

I finished an article moments ago with a very uneasy feeling. One sentence was like a kick in the teeth to all mothers. Give up writing because you chose to give birth. Not the exact quote by that was the message in the same unfriendly words. I don’t need lengthy research to dispute this I have personal experience to base my opinion on. I am a mother of five children ranging in ages from 2 to 12. Yes I am stressed, pressed for time, and run ragged quite often. Does all this some how take my ability to write away, no it doesn’t. A mother is the glue to a family. She of any person on this Earth learns to balance, schedule, basically juggle everythng in life. I by no means claim it to be easy, this infact is very difficult.
