Ok that is my confession! FREEing for me!

I'm not a mother, but I get this. I know that if I had kids, I would pretty certainly feel overwhelmed (after all these years of having most of my time to myself)... And I think everybody feels like that from time to time. I hate the hypocrisy of people who pretend how perfect their lives are and then criticise you for the very same thing they try to keep secret. Some of the comments there were really nasty. Things like these - natural feelings - should be talked about more often. Less of the "be perfect, manage everything" crap and more of the "you're human like everybody else" honesty. Empathy is oddly lacking in so many people.
