The Wife who Became a Mommy

She was never uptight. She was always fun. She could drink and laugh a night away. Then she became a Mother. Now, she is stressed. She can't remember how to have fun. And she can't relax by drinking because she doesn't want to be hungover when he wakes up. She still laughs though. She laughs even more now but with the laughs also come a harping nag which is neverending. In the beginning of our marriage, she vowed she couldn't stand Kate Gosselin from "John & Kate Plus 8" because Kate always nagged John. I do give Kate credit, she was watching over 8 little humans who each had 8 little poops and 8 different little personalities. Nagging was a way to protect 8 little children while trying to keep them safe and alive for that particular day. Still, my wife has only one little human who she is trying to keep alive and safe. And I know she is doing the best job she can, here is a sweet picture of our son playing outside.

Haha, just kidding. Our son only wears bubble wrap and his special helmet outside because she doesn't want him falling down. She thinks the big bubble is too dangerous and he would smother in there. The other day she let the child play in the bathtub and then she had a panic attack because the child stood up in the tub. Since then she started bathing our son in this thing. I really don't know where she found this contraption. She probably built it while I was asleep the other night. She's crafty like that. But our kid is super safe in whatever this thing is and he can't stand up. And she doesn't have panic attacks during bath time anymore.

I really miss my old wife. She was a lot of fun. This wife is fun in her own way. She sings songs like "Row Row Row your Boat" and "London Bridge is Falling Down." She won't sing "Rock-a-bye Baby" because she thinks she will scare our child and he will not become a secure adult. She stopped singing "Pat-a-Cake" because it encouraged hitting. Here is a pic from an old Friday night where I'm with my wife and friends dancing. And I really miss it.

 I love my wife. I really do. She is trying to raise a child. It can't be all fun and games anymore. Yea, she gripes at me a little more (okay, a lot more) than she used to. She wants our baby to be safe and healthy. And no, she doesn't sing her old "Queen Bey" songs anymore but that's okay. The new songs are fine and the boy seems to like them. He always smiles. I might hide the bubble wrap and that tub contraption though. The tub creeps me out.  My wife became a Mommy and even though it wasn't the person I married, she is the person who gave me a beautiful son. I love her for that reason. And I will always love her mad dancing skills. Most of all, I love that each new day is pretty neat and it's always a great adventure. Through the nagging, she is still able to make everyday pretty awesome.
