Somebody said

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby . somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "Normal," is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct . Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring ...... Somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.

Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out good." Somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices ..... Somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbour's kitchen window.

Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother…...Somebody never helped a fourth grade child with her maths.

Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first…..Somebody doesn't have five children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books ...... Somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labour and delivery .... Somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten, or on a plane headed for military "boot camp."

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back ..... somebody never organized four giggling Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married….... Somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in- law to a mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home .... Somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her . Somebody isn't a mother.
