When I was pregnant, I had so many expectations. I imagined my motherhood like a fun and enjoyable journey with a loving and grateful kid, who would appreciate everything I try to give me. I had much to give indeed! I wanted to show the magnificent world of human accomplishments and provide freedom children need so much to grow up.
However, almost every expectation I cherished was in vain. I thought I’d be a perfect mom, but I failed. It was hard to accept, and I almost got depressed, but one day I tried to apply my most powerful weapon against any sadness — my humor!

I knew if I could laugh at myself, I’d be safe and happy! So I laughed as loud as I could and then came up these hilarious revelations about motherhood. Hope you’ll like them and laugh and them!
