[quote=Anonymous] I don’t know about anyone else but as a younger woman without children who used to obsess about my body, makeup, exercise routine, and clothes, I used to look around at moms with mommy pooches and flat butts who looked tired with no makeup on and wore not the nicest clothing and I judged  them so much. I was the kind of person who would say things like “but you chose to have kids” and in my mind these women had “let themselves go” because they had kids and in my mind I was never ever going to do that if I had kids. Well the joke is on me because I’m now two kids and one pandemic into parenthood and I AM now those moms. What I did not know as a younger woman  is that without family nearby and money to throw at childcare beyond the insane amount we pay just so my husband and I can work each day and the good fortune to have easy kids who sleep (ha ha ha!), motherhood is so hard. Women don’t let themselves go - they are consumed by the needs of small children and a society that expects families to just single handedly do it all. Op will learn this soon enough. [/quote]
