Oprah show on Motherhood

Did anyone see Oprah's show on Motherhood? It was quite interesting and comforting! I am glad I am not the only self-proclaimed terrible mother! These other moms were brutely honest, and that is refreshing. I am glad to know I don't have to feel bad about feeling like I want to run away (very quietly) so they won't hear me and follow! So, thanks to all you honest mothers out there!
But one thing that struck me funny, was when "the Oprah" said, "but you all knew that was how is was going to be".....Well, actually no I absolutely did not know it would be like this! I did not know that I would feel guilty ALL the time, whether I worked or stayed at home. No, I did not know I would really hate my husband most of the time, then hate myself for hating him. No, I did not know I that I would sometimes hate my kids, and yes then hate myself for ever let myself feel that way for a child I carried in the womb and then brought into this world. No, I did not know that I would NEVER get time alone again. No, I did not know that I would always compare myself to every other mother in every situation. No, I did not know that it would be THIS HARD.......I could honestly go on and on about listing things I did not know. So, no Oprah, I did not know that is would be like this..........but I also did not know just how much I could love another human being either.....so go figure
