Motherhood is Not for Wimps

by JHSEsq


Da Momma is our hero­ine in the blog Moth­er­hood is Not for Wimps. She decribes her sit­u­a­tion, “In Sep­tem­ber, 2002 I became a mother. It must have been the drugs, because I for­got myself and three years later did it all again. Fol­low along as I illus­trate time and again that moth­er­hood is not for wimps.” Da Momma is an author who shares her sto­ries openly and honestly.

In the post, Shout­ing the Obvi­ous she begins a tale of the sat­is­fac­tion one gets from being right, ‘“You must be fuck­ing, fuck­ing stu­pid!’ The angry lit­tle man shout­ing this at me from the cab of his white pickup truck was grip­ping my ATM card, the receipt and my cash. A lot of it. I had gone to the bank drive through ATM to trans­fer funds to avoid a bounce. As I was madly try­ing to sort out the finances a stu­dent was return­ing my call to find out why I had stood her up for our sched­uled meet­ing regard­ing her research paper. I got dis­tracted in the mid­dle of the trans­ac­tion and walked away. I was still talk­ing to her when the man found me and started shout­ing.” What we really enjoyed in the post was her abil­ity to be intro­spec­tive. While this man became both her tor­menter and sav­ior, she real­ized how much sat­is­fac­tion a per­son like this man got from the sit­u­a­tion. What sit­u­a­tion? He was 100% cor­rect. Our hero­ine was not.
We think you’ll appre­ci­ate the style and wit Da Momma brings to her writ­ing. The Ris­ing Blog­ger is pleased to award her our Post of the Day!

Wow, she’s lucky the guy brought the money back to her. I can imagine such distraction, though. Often at school I get half a dozen students needing something from me a the same itme.

Da momma is such a great blog for anyone to read but especially other mothers. It definitly makes me feel that it is okay to be the mom that I am.

I’ve actually had a man…tough cowboy type do the same thing to me. Are you trying to help me or hurt me? Just pick one and go with it. Sheesh.
Steady on, sista.

Thank you so much for the honor and recognition. I may well be fucking, fucking stupid, but at least now I am also fucking, fucking famous. Well, okay, not so much, but it made my day.

Thanks so much!

Da Momma Rocks and the world is full of all kinds of ‘helpful’ people. And when I run into one of them, it always occurs to me how much it would suck to be them.
