Why is it that woman want it all? Why do we feel we need to be perfect in everyway? The best wife (ehm), best mother, best collegue, best cook, best dressed.... we want it all no? Aren't we just stressing ourselves out unnecessarily?
I was talking to a couple of mums at work, who grumble how hard it is. Its hard enough, but being on your own its in some ways easier and in some ways harder. But why do I put myself though this? Why is it I strive to be the very best I can at work, because I feel my career is important to me, spend time with N because being a mother is also important to me, spend ages making her and myself fresh cooked healthy food, when I could by ready meals, try and keep the house spotless single handly... isn't this too much? No wonder so many women are on anti depressants? No wonder so many women are unhappy? Is it time to go back to basics and forget this lifestyle, mother stay at home and alls well?
