I have many names, but my chosen one is Nagging Guilt. Hours cleaning and minutes cooking - that's a typical day. At the end of it, I know I'm a good mom and a satisfactory wife - but, who am I?
One glorious moment when my son and I were dancing around, my problem-solving half (a.k.a husband) comes in and remarks, "This is your best personality." That's it! I have multiple personalities. Wow, what a relief.
Of course this philosophical question leads me to other inquiries like, "Do my hips look like I bore a child or a village?" "Do my arms and back look fleshy or like I need to suit up and play football?" "Am I a MILF?" I think my 14-month old found the last question disturbing.
Fortunately, my big thighs were a complimentary gift from mother nature or this other woman I know. It's now clear why new mom's stick to granny panties, stretchy pants and flat shoes. Husband: "You never look sexy anymore." As a new wife, there was no question of sexy or comfortable. As a new mom, why is there a question?
Also, new wives jump at the chance to please their husbands. As an old wife, I jump at any chance my husband can please himself. Another pleasure is what I call, MOMentos. I got bigger feet to escort me to my porcelain dates - we've been going steady for awhile now.
The truth is, and I've meditated, studied Zen and read "Siddhartha" to know this - my son just thinks of me as "mom", until he learns more choice words, and my husband just thinks of me as "crazy", this is after years of trying normal. So I guess I'm a new mom and an old wife. Oh, just one more question, "When can I sleep?"
