OK, here we go - again. Why is it a mother's lot to fall ill with whatever flu's and aches her children decide to pass on, and not the father? After all, she is the one who still have to be well enough to take care of them...
I will take advantage of it being a three day weekend and stay in bed.

Not another cutesy mother-baby blog, this is an angry voice from someone who's had enough of the motherhood-trap.
About Me
- Angry Mother
- san francisco, ca, United States
- I am a happy mother, reluctant housewife and frustrated woman, blogging about everything wife, mother, woman and children related. It would be boring if we all agreed all the time so comments are not only welcome, they are strongly encouraged, and will always be recognized.
Not another cutsy mother-baby blog
This is not a cute blog about a happy mother and the endless joys of motherhood. This is an angry blog about the motherhood-trap. It is a refusal to adapt to society's idea of Mother and an attempt to open up a discussion about why women let themselves be defined instead of defining themselves.
Where is affordable child-care, where is flexible working hours, where is the support from our government, from our husbands, from each other?
Why are we happy falling in to the motherhood-trap, with pancakes and playgroups and the feeling of loosing ourselves.
This is a blog about alternative motherhood, about keeping your sense of self instead of heading for a slow death.
I am a proud but disappointed mother. This is my voice.
