Being a mom is not almost always fun. I have mentioned in my blogs numerous times reasons why I love being a mom; but honestly to be blunt about it there are some things I really dislike (hate is such a strong word) about it.

I don’t like…..

1. ……….the fact that I don’t get to sleep for 8 hours straight.
2. ……….feeling guilty every time I am away. ME-time sometimes isn’t fun when you’re mind is not there.
3. ……….having to clean poop.
4. ……….how Ozzy decides to poop seconds after I changed him into a clean nappy.
5. ……….HAVING stretch marks. Goodbye stretch-mark free tummy…for this reason alone; I ask God why MEN are not the once experiencing child birth?! teehee
6. ……….that whenever we are in a restaurant I cannot eat properly. (I almost always never bring yaya around; I want to be hands on as much as possible)
7. ……….being bitten & sometimes hit. (uh-huh he hits now..tsktsk, kainis!)
8. ……….when people assume I know everything just because I am a mom; I am human I make mistakes too. Spare me the, “Dapat alam mo na yon” speech. I am a first-timer, give me a break.
9. ……….scolding my 2 year old boy every time he picks up something on the floor & puts it in his mouth.
10. ……….Or scolding in general. Or loosing my patience. Or having to glare at the boy for being noisy in church. Or when he bites his nails. It’s not that I ‘hate‘ it but I just don’t enjoy being a disciplinarian. I want to be the spoiler. But I know that would not be a good thing in the long run.

Now you may think I am bad or what it doesn’t matter; this post doesn’t mean I love my son less or I am a terrible mother (although at times I feel I am inadequate), I am merely pointing out things that make parenting hard. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it right?

Ozzy was sick for 3 days and he refused to eat. He kept on crying or whimpering or just simply acting up just so I won’t leave his side. At one point I had to bring him to the CR with me when I peed because he won’t stop crying.

Thank God for television and videos. Our Sony Bravia HD TV saved the day. Good thing the HDMI switch made it easier for us to switch between cable and/or HD DVD. It’s amazing how technology are these days. Although I’ll just have to make sure to limit Ozzy’s TV time because too much is never a good thing.

Having a kid is a continuous roller coaster ride. Any parent knows this. Some dread it that’s why they steer clear of the parent train. Such a shame really for you won’t be able to experience utter embarrassment if not.

At the doctor’s office yesterday.

Dr. G : Van, how is Ozzy’s bowel movement?

Me : Its fine doc, no problem there, he poops regularly except he hasn’t pooped yet today.

Dr. G : That’s fine, ok.

+ The whole time Ozzy was sitting on my lap; he squirmed his way down and began to squat on the floor turned red in the face and exclaimed,”Mommy!! uu! (mommy poopoo).” +

Me : uhmmm baby what are you doing?

Ozzy : uu. (with matching funny face + index finger covering his nose)

+We were all laughing now, including Dr.G+

Me : So sorry for that doc.

+ By now the smell was dreadful+

Dr.G : That’s quite alright.

+ We quickly finished up the appointment & fled as fast as we could +
