Mommie fearest

I'm due in four weeks and if the predictions of my mother friends are accurate, I should feel like a total impostor, a crappy mom, a complete failure.

    pewella

    Just writing to say that I need to be friends with pewella and Heather you need some friends like her as well. My whole problem with motherhood is only this: lack of fun, edgy (and don't confuse mean and bitchy with edgy)spirited women who don't want to spend an hour discussing the ins and outs of her child's eating, pooping, sleeping habits. I relate completely with wanting to read the word fuck as often as possible. Yes, I'm a mom and I still swear (oh GOD did she just say that?)and sometimes, accidentally around other people's kids (NO!). So, stay away from any groups with the words "mommy and me" in the title and make sure to have a few cocktails (you won't be pregnant anymore). And pewella, email me at Squirrmels@aol.com if you want to talk to a kindred spirit who's not in the Cult of Mommy.
