[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I had a lot of these feelings, from the time before I had kids until my older was 5 and the younger 2.5. Gradually, I just stopped caring, and absorbed the mom role into my overall identity. I never became "mom first" and I still have my own friends and my job and I dress pretty much same as before kids, I'm pretty much same size, etc. Some interests changed, of course, but others stayed the same. And there were pluses, too. When things are not going well at work, there are other things at home that are making me feel accomplished, for example. I do wish that society didn't give "momhood" such a bad name, and that young women in particular would not be so resentful of moms. But of course there are plenty of those annoying supermoms who do nothing but discuss their children, so there is that, too. But you can steer clear pretty easily.[/quote]
