35. "on the multiple thing " In response to In response to 24 Thu May-21-15 01:20 PM by Selah
observationally, moms are kinda possessive with their first kid
all these grand plans about how they are gonna be the best mom ever (with none of the mistakes their mothers made)
they HATE the idea that anyone else might be able to care for their kid better (or maybe its some kind of fear the kid will prefer "them")
i've seen TONS of "separation anxiety" for first-time moms (be it grands, daycare, sitters, all that)
once that anxiety subsides, the realization that taking help is not an indictment, and they are looking for a break, that's when "somebody please take this kid somewhere" ("calgon take me away") kicks in
