I think this is all so sad. I’m not a mum (I’m 30 and not ready, was adamantly child free until I met my current partner). If there wasn’t a 15 year age gap between me and my sister mums like Georgia would have really put me off.
i looked after my sister a lot when I was really
Too young to be looking after her. Don’t get me wrong she was a royal pain in the ass sometimes but I never begrudged her presence. Our mum is the sort of woman who should never have had children and acted far worse than Georgia does. Despite the fact there were days that were hard I never remembered wishing she wasn’t around, I used to take her to the park with me in her pushchair to hang out with my mates (she basically had a group of teenagers all day willing to play with her in the park), I used to - badly - make her tea and clean her up when she made a mess of herself. I never remember feeling annoyed with her, I’d take her off my mums hands when she got frustrated because it wasn’t her fault she was just a baby and couldn’t help herself.
at the end of the day you chose to have the little one, it’s not his fault that he’s here, he didn’t ask to be. You signed up for mum duty and if it’s too much I’m sure you can scrounge up the cash to get a lovely Nanny to help out.
i have a deep hatred for mums who resent their children or act like their children ruined their life. When I finally have mine I’ll never let them feel unwanted.
i know there’s something to be said for the “it’s not always rainbows and sunshine” aspect to motherhood, but you don’t need to behave like you wished you hadn’t had them.
