… about motherhood being the greatest joy! Happy mother’s day.
This is a toast to all the dysfunctional mothers out there… who hardly ever get it right;
Who know that what they do could be done a hundred times better;
Who would rather sleep in late than cook up a wholesome breakfast;
Who’d rather take their scrabble turns than read to their child;
Who would jump at an opportunity to leave their child with a friend to get a pedicure;
And who still manage to manipulate their children into blind adoration, or grudging respect;
Cheers! You deserve to put your feet up and sip on a vodka.
What we do, even if only reluctantly, is more than what mere humans were meant to do.

Happy mother’s day to you! A very realistic and practical post. Liked it.
Dysfunctional moms!! Ha ha ha ha! 😆
Love it ! I consciously did not even wish my mother… I had just had a major fight with her a couple of days ago and I know she would scoff at me if I wished her on mother’s day !!
Loved this post to the hilt.. somebody chose to put the real mothers on the front.. and yes count me in as a part of the group ‘dysfunctional’ and yes… also the ‘vodka’..bring it on 😉

Kisara Yatiyawela Vani I have 20-20, X-ray level vision with friends and I am resolutely sticking to my opinion! Ok fine… if you won’t buy that at least credit me with good taste :D!
Maybe not drunk, but definitely dysfunctional. Cheers, V.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh Yaaaaaaaa. Beautifully said
Now I can stop feeling guilty, I swear. I have to admit the best Mum stuff I do nowadays is cuddle them after they’re fast asleep, making up for a long day of saying ‘No’ , ‘Later’ and ‘Do u think I’m yr maid?’
Phew !! at least some one said it 🙂 bring on the vodaka.. I am all game…. Happy Mothers day to you
hey, sorry for the typo !
