"Sacrificing your body," or, "Why I now am less judgemental about the mom-job"

 Running late (as usual), I came home from swimming in my bathing suit and a towel.  My twenty-one-year-old babysitter looked at me and said, "You have a good body..."  I laughed deprecatingly.  Then she finished up: "...for a mom." 


This evening, as we were lounging on the couch, Micah glanced at my bosomal area (which admittedly suffers from post-lactational-sagginess) and announced flatly, "You don't need those boobs anymore, Mommy."

ouch! I used to feel good about my body... until I had kids. Not because of the post-baby body itself - but because now I have a 7yo who can point out EVERY. SINGLE. FLAW. Plus some I didn't even know I had. Really, I don't need it.

HA I crack myself up. I must have latent puns in my subconscious that pop up on their own. That was totally unintentional, M. ;)

Micah is a functional utilitarian pragmatist, an engineer. structural engineer. His Grammy is redundant.
