Some days. Some days being this child's mother is exhausting. But not for the reasons you think. No, being this child's mother is exhausting just as being any of my children's mother is exhausting Being a mother is exhausting.
The need to exert one's own independence at the most inopportune time. To tie one's own shoes at one's own pace...when all I want to do is get out of the house on time. Because if your sister is late (translate-5 minutes early) for school one more time her 10 year old life will be over.
She's tying her own shoes. At one point in time we weren't sure she'd be able to feed herself or talk.
She's tying her own shoes.
And so I sit down...and wait.
She tied her own shoes today.
