*Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal
after you've had a baby ...somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal", is history.
*Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by
instinct ...somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.
* Somebody said being a mother is boring .somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
* Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn
out good"...somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.
*Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices ...somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's kitchen window..... or walked with her child through a parking lot as his hand breaks loose from her grasp.
*Somebody said you don't need an education to be a
mother ...somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.
* Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first ...somebody doesn't have five children.
* Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-
rearing questions in the books .somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.
* Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and
delivery ...somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten ... or on a plane headed for
military "boot camp" ...or held a child with cancer knowing there
was nothing she could do to keep him safe.
* Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back .somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.
* Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets
married .somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
* Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home ...somebody never had grandchildren.
* Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her ....somebody isn't a mother.
