I love being a mom. There are very few things I don't like about motherhood. Bedtime is one of those things. I hate bedtime. I still feel a little guilt saying that out loud. I hear women around me talk about this magical time when their children open up and start beautiful conversations with them as they peacefully drift off to sleep. I used to wonder what was wrong with me or my kids. Bed time in our house is also a magical time. It is the time of the day that I quickly change from Mary Poppins into the Hulk. It is when my children rev up their energy and see just how far they can push us.
I equally dread and look forward to bedtime. I dread the arguing, and fighting. I look forward to when they finally fall asleep and my husband and I literally fall onto the bed and veg out on our phones for 30 minutes while we recuperate.
So for all you other mothers, parents and guardians who hate bedtime, this post is for you.
You aren't alone.
