I get the impression that nobody wants to really "work" on a relationship anymore.. The kind of work that requires being sensitive to your partner's needs, not just your own.. I get the feeling that a lot of us expect a relationship to make us happy, but we don't want to accept the responsibility for doing the same for our partners.. What ever happened to the idea that a relationship is about two people struggling together to deal with all the bullshit the world throws at us. Aren't we supposed to have each other's backs, help each other carry the load, pick each other up when one of us is down??... I hear that love and relationships shouldn't be "work".. I disagree.. it's "hard work," everyday, in every way.. Some of us take better care of our pets and plants than we do of each other... Yeah it's work and it's hard, but the reward for all this work is a real relationship, one that makes the two of us stronger and happier that we could ever be on our own.. Am I crazy? Think about it.........Nikki

i know im cute!Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
