What is it about becoming a mother that turns us all into… just another lady? Today, Becky Vieira is examining this very point, and how her husband suddenly stopped getting her presents that were about her as soon as she became a mom. She writes, “The gifts we receive are one small case in point. We are no longer a person; we are the entire household. By giving birth, we leave ourselves behind and become the whole of our family.” She’s not angry, necessarily, just genuinely confused and concerned that this will be what the rest of her life looks like. I tend to agree. Do you? |
