Honestly most of the time I love being a woman. I love everything that being a woman encompasses. I love feeling sexy, or cute, or pretty all depending on my mood and apparel choices. I love that I can change my look by a simple color and cut of my hair. I love my body. I love being a mother, and a wife. I really love it all! But then there's the other times. The times I loathe being a woman. I am aggravated that I am the mother and annoyed that I am the wife.
I almost always hate being a woman when I get in the shower. That shit sucks! A shower can never just be something that is done quickly for a woman. I have to wash and condition my hair; which is long and thick so it takes forever. I have to shave my legs, my arms, and everywhere else that hair can grow, because eww I hate hair. If I let that go for more than two days shaving my legs turns into mowing my legs. Gross! Then I have to wash my body, and scrub my face with a different wash. Then every other day I put a mask on in the shower to rejuvenate my face. It doesn't stop after the shower though. Then I have to apply the oil, serum, and face cream to my face to keep this beautiful young looking, supple skin. Then, oil and lotion the rest of my body. This process is absolutely dreadful. Yet I am a woman in her 30's that doesn't want to look dried up and old so I must keep up with this madness!
I get aggravated that I am a mother daily! What really gets me is that I have to repeat myself at the minimum of 10 times before the kids listen to me. And even then what I asked to have done isn't even done properly! What is that? I can't stand stepping on Shopkins, and Barbie shoes! I hate walking in a puddle of God knows what on the floor, like why didn't you tell me you spilled something? Or better yet, why didn't you clean it up? I hate listening to the kids bicker, I can't stand when they whine. I hate that every time I am doing something I get "Mommed" to death until I answer and then they don't even want anything but I just completely lost my mind, I mean train of thought! I hate that I can't get a moment of peace. I hate that even though Dad's on the couch watching television that I am the one they have to come to for the dumbest things, even though I am in the middle of writing a psych paper! What the Hell? And how many God damn times do I have to say "SHUT OFF THE LIGHT!"?
My husband is amazing. If you read my posts you know how unbelievable he is. I think because of that I get so annoyed with being the wife. I feel inadequate at times. Most days when he comes home dinner isn't made or ready, the house is a disaster, and the mountain of laundry hasn't even been tackled yet. He'll come home and just pick up where I left off and make it look so simple. And as much as I love that about him, I am so annoyed that I'm the wife. I'm the one who should be doing this stuff with no problems and no complaints, but instead he is working all day and picking up my slack at night. That's so unfair and I know it. But I can't stand putting the hundreds of articles of clothing away, and every time I clean there's just another mess right behind me. It's exasperating. I love being HIS wife, but the wifely duties that should accompany that are so obnoxious.
Don't get me wrong. I love being my children's mother, my husband's wife, and a woman. And in the same breath all three of those things are so tiring. But I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. My family is everything to me. And I am everything to them.
What do you hate about being a woman? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
