SUCCESS AND MOTHERHOOD DON'T GO TOGETHER? you can lick my toes!

studies/career and motherhood don't go together? you can lick my toes!

really!

just because you were brainwashed that you cannot do both

or maybe you even came to the conclusion after much thought

that you couldnt

and so you didnt

and/or you're jealous that someone would dare something that you were too chicken shit /not confident enough to even think of trying

or maybe you tried and didnt do too well, or kinda failed, or failed miserably

and/or because your own time to do anything about it has irrevocably passed

YOU CANNOT TELL ME:

with the certainty of a person who has done neither that "you can't do both"
maybe because you're not proud of your own child that "women are not made to be baby machines" (??) (ever tried seeing yourself as a mother instead?)

that "you have to pick one" (is that in the ten commandments somewhere?)

that "you can't have everything" (why on earth not??)

firstly, it's plain rude to offer crippling "advice" instead of a simple good luck, if you really can't come up with anything warmer, seeing as i didn't ask for the advice, you asked what's new

secondly, i think you're underestimating my intelligence, planning, ability (so you don't reckon i ever thought that it's probably like working 200% before i took my decision?)

thirdly, you're really making it about you

i'm not saying i am, or ever will be perfect

i'm not saying, i will get everything perfect

but i'm saying i'm going to try to get everything right

and that's why i'll get more than you ever settled for

now you can sit back and shut your mouth if you have nothing good to say

do feel free to watch me and turn red, green, blue and all the other colours of the rainbbow for all i care.
