Its a competition-apparently

I thought I was being a parent but apparently I'm in a competition.
I'm not competitive at all. People hate playing games with me cause I honestly could care less if I win or lose. I just want to have fun, dare I say it enjoy the experience.
But ever since I got pregnant with Jonah I feel like a lot of other moms are competitive and trying to drag me into their deal.

It started with getting pregnant. It took us more than a few months, but my view is that it happened when it was supposed to happen. Other moms: "oh one day my husband and I decided to try and we got pregnant that very night". Well good for you.

Moving on to pregnancy: I was incapacitated with nausea for 3 1/2 months. Laying in bed, only getting out to vomit, I gained weight, plenty of weight, and once the nausea stopped my back hurt, I was up all night with a kicking baby, I loved being pregnant but it wasn't the most comfortable time of my life. And don't even get me started on the hemorrhoids!
Other moms: Pregnancy was wonderful, I wouldn't have even know I was pregnant except for the belly and I didn't even have to buy maternity clothes, just kept wearing my size zero's the whole time. Well good for fucking you.

Delivery: Jonah came at 8 months, c section, not the water birth with mid wife that I had planned. Did I mention I went into labor on a Wednesday and he was born on the following Monday. I was in transition on I-95. It hurt, it hurt ALOT!!!
Other moms: just a few squeezes, I would describe it more as pressure than pain, and then poof out came my baby.
And to those moms who claim to have had an orgasm while in labor I think I speak for everyone when I say "PLEASE KEEP THAT TO YOUR SELF!!!!!"

My baby didn't sleep, there's did. They never once had a blue moment, I did.


Now all I hear is "what do you mean your child doesn't sit quietly in the corner and read all day, why can't you go to a restaurant"
Why, cause my kid is busy, he's got stuff to do.

Well let me tell you "other moms" I'm done. I'm getting off this merry go round, I'm not playing your reindeer games! I am not in competition with you or anyone for that matter. Shouldn't we be pulling together and supporting each other rather than trying to drag each other down. You won, you're the best mom out there, you're fabulous, you're tops!! Me? I'm just a normal mom trying to get through every day the best I can while taking care of myself, my family and my kid. And I think I do a pretty damn good job!
