I am not a Super Mum
Parenting is just scary
I forget to wash your uniform
And don’t feed you enough dairy
I mutter *f*ck* beneath my breath
Several times a day
Especially when you start to rage
That things aren’t going your way
(I’m ever so slightly incompetent
In the wifely department too
I really should devote more time
To making time for you)
Son, you need a haircut
Your fringe is rather long
But that’s another thing on the list
Of everything I do wrong.
I’m rubbish on the school run
I don’t look very glam
I’m not sure what’s got down my jeans
I suppose it could be jam?
There aren’t enough hours in the day
For work, cleaning and the dog
You only need to glance at my waist
To see I have no time to jog
No, I’m not a Super Mum
But I try harder every day
To be an almost Half-Decent Mum
(And I know you love me, anyway)
Love this – really well written!
Thank you – I haven’t even shared it yet how did you find it?! 😀
That’s exactly how I feel but you’ve summed it up so very very well! We are always so harsh on ourselves aren’t we?!
We really are! Thanks for commenting 🙂 x
