Doubtful that anyone is reading this as of yet, but oh well. I've debated on deleting this for reasons that I will discuss shortly, but damn it, no one has this little perfect life that they portray on here. Ugh.
So, I've been reading the blogs of some people that I have known for years. One of them in particular is a current Mormon but for I'd say 5 yrs prior to finding the "love of her life" was an alcoholic slut, let's just be frank. Now she's been married in the temple, has a kid and life is just peachy? Bullshit, I say, bullshit. I once had my own mother threaten to have me excommunicated because I was living with my boyfriend- now husband. Um, okay. Whatever.
As I'm reading this chick's blog though, I begin to realize that all she is writing about is her kid. My kid is eating rice cereal, my kid's not sleeping through the night. Who gives a big shit? I don't know- maybe I don't understand because I'm not a mother, but why do women lose their personal identity when they become mothers? I was seriously disturbed by the fact that this certain chick is finishing up her last year of school and actually posted on her blog "I wonder if I will actually have to work". WTF? I understand the whole back up plan if you're going to be a stay at home mom and I am a big advocate of it, but why is it that mormon girls feel the need to get married and pop out kids immediately and then stop working? Especially when said mormon girls are all in their very early 20s. At least work a year or so in your desired field- get a feel for it, develop your own identity before it gets lost in your children and you never see it again.
