Kate often says: I love you mom.
I can't complain, when it comes to my daughter, I am not starved for affection.
Tonight, when we were watching Hell's Kitchen, she told me she loved me, again. Out of the blue.
- I love you too, sweet, I smiled. What made you say that, in the middle of a Gordon Ramsey rant?
- Well, I just started thinking. Parents do a lot for their kids. They give them food, and drive them places, and play games and stuff. They do a lot.
Hell yeah.
But it's all worth it.
And I told her that too.

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.
