Why I Might Not Be Mother's Group Material

I was thinking the other day...I may not be appropriate for a Mother's Group, and here's why:

1) Whenever breastfeeding is brought up, I always comment, "You breastfeedin'?  Doesn't it SUCK?  UGH."

2) I'm far too pretty for a Mother's Group and they'll all be jealous of me.

KIDDING.  I actually look like Marilyn Manson on a bad day.  Good day?  Phyllis Diller.

3) I hate talking about how motherhood has been a life-altering, amazing, beautiful change.  I prefer to discuss and vent about the days I wake up covered in baby vomit and smelling like pee.

4) My last discussion with a mom went something like this:

A MOM:  Oh, I'm so happy.

ME:  I woke up the other day and totally forgot I was a mom and I was SO RELAXED.  Is that wrong?

5)  I can't talk to women who have flat stomachs and kids.  It makes me physically sick from depression.

6)  I don't exercise and I eat crap.  Yes, I'm breastfeeding.  My milk expels twinkies and pork rinds.

you'd be fine here in new york. i miss california, but sometimes the happy pills that people are on there is just too much.

Agreed. We Californians do tend to bask in the sunshine, take a lot of happy pills, and glorify breast feeding to a cultish fervor.
