what i do best...
to me, being my sons mother is my life. and life seems to be a job to
me... when i think about the people who are always asking when im ever
going to get a real job...you know one where i leave my son somewhere
and go work for hours at a time and then come home later and not seeing
him all day...the answer is idk... to me being my sons mom is my job.
going out and actually having to work several hours and not see him all
day is torture and hell. its unfamiliar and its hard to place myself in
that kind of situation...i can see myself working the rest of my life
being my sons mom, cause its what i do best. its what im good at. im not
good at working @ resturaunts or department stores or coffee
shops...but im good at being kaevyans mom. being a mom is all i know... i
know i need to start thinking about my future and getting a real
part-time job but theres so many things i have to do to get to that
point and it feels like so much and i shut down...kaevyan keeps me
sane... how can i leave my lifeline and not see him for hours at a
time...how can i not feed him...if i want to still breastfeed that means
pumping, and filling frezzer bags and storing and getting up super
early to breastfeed before i leave andmaking sure he is full and
comfortable, that means pack the diaper bag for stuff my grandma would
need and making sure she has his favorite toys, and all of his medicine
and all the instructions that go will his medicines...and that means her
knowing that he is a snacker and has no set mealtimes and when hes
hungry, restless, tired, whiney, when he wants to be held and when he
scratches someones chest, he hungry and to feed him, and when he gets
hurt and im there the first thing i do is put him to my breast and just
lay him there, cause its not just his food, but the skin contact is a
source of comfort to a baby since they were born and forever more whats
gunna comfort him the way hims mommy does?...that means pumping enough
to try and meet his need without knowing his need of how much cuz hes
only ever been fed by breast. and my son cries when i take two steps
away from him. he is a very high-need babyand he is a very big
clinger... how can i walk out the door when he cries after just two
steps..and when he is ready to sleep you have to lay him down on a bed
and feed him to sleep...thats the only way he will sleep... unless you
wanna hold him the entire time...i dont want to leave my son.
excpecailly not before he is one...i refuse to leave him before he is
one. that is my condition and im sticking to it...but its gunna be hard
to stick to a resolution after that. cause he will always be my
baby...and i dont wanna leave my life with anyone...how does anyone have
the strength to let go of what they do best and try something new???
