My “Why’s” As A Mother

These are just my questions. I’m not complaining. And I know the answers on some of these questions based on several studies but I still just want to ask. Again, I’m not complaining. I’m just asking.

• Why can’t men get pregnant too?

• Why is it that women are the ones who get pregnant and give birth then we are still the ones to breastfeed our babies?

• Why do we (my husband and I) still have to take turns in changing our babies’ nappies despite the fact that I am already the one who got pregnant, gave birth and breastfed our kids?

• Why do babies wake up in the middle of the night?

• Why do babies love to wee the moment we take off their nappies? Imagine how it is if you’re changing the nappy of a baby boy?

• Why do babies poop as soon as we put a new nappy on?

• Why do kids wake up the very moment I lie down and close my eyes after considering doing that for ages already?

• Why do kids have to follow me to toilet when it would have been the only alone time that I could have in most 24 hours a day in my life?

• Why does our toilet still have a door if my kids would never allow me to close it?

• Why do I prepare a hot breakfast drink while I would only have the chance to drink it after two hours?

• Why can’t our laundry baskets get empty or at least get half full anymore no matter how often I wash our clothes?

• Why would my kids ask me to do something very important to them like fixing a toy that they would play with for only a minute every single time that I would start doing something that I have planned for several months already? Yes, like deep cleaning a room! Not  really important, eh?!

• Why do kids love to drop their food and spoon or fork on the floor?

• Why do I still love my children so much despite all the why’s that I have — both written here and those in my mind that I can’t put into words?

***Perhaps there’s going to be a Part 2 of this.***
