So I'm going to confess some things here. First, as much as I say I try to avoid passing judgment on other moms well believe it or not I m not perfect after all (my family will get a smirk out of that statement) and sometimes I do judge you crunchy, pintersty people. Why?
Because damnit I m just not cool like that.I'm seriously craft challenged, I can't cook worth a damn, I have a brown thumb, I'm OCD with a I don't give a shit about the mess attitude from time to time (if you don't believe be me ask my husband), I don't stress about organic and natural food and products. My idea of working out is chasing my kids around the backyard (I have probably even counted that once or twice when I d be in a workout stretch). I don't make or create anything cool.
So as I went through this list of "mom" type things I realized I must be mom challenged. My mom must have been giving those lady lessons when I was outside playing ball as a kid. Sometimes I think maybe I should learn some of these womanly mom things then I think no. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. I will just continue on being mom challenged. It s really not that lonely of a road.
How are you mom challenged?

Haha! I am right there with you! i have realized recently that it is perfectly okay not to be the "perfect" mom! Heck most of those "perfect" moms aren't really perfect...they just pretend to be!
ReplyDeleteI may not be "mom challenged" because I can cook and decorate to a confident degree, but I have to be honest with you. I look at all the stuff on Pinterest and think to myself, "What the heck? Where do these women find all this time? I must be doing something wrong!" I mean, I have NEVER spent more than two hours making a birthday cake for my kid, and that includes baking time! I probably could build a clubhouse if I wanted to, but that's what you call a handy man for if you don't have a hubby who is hammer and nail savvy. As for all that other cute crafty stuff, nope, sorry, not in the schedule. Tina Bietler-One Tired Working Mommy
