    About this ebook

    Have you ever suspected that some mothers SECRETLY hate being mothers? Well, suspect no more because thousands of mothers actually do hate being mothers. Apparently, motherhood has an ugly and unpleasant side that thousands of mothers want you to know about PRIOR to making the life-altering decision to become a mother, stepmother, adoptive mother, foster mother, legal guardian, etc.

    Not all women should become mothers. Some women should become wonderful mothers or super moms, while other women should become child-free awesome aunts, child-free mediocre-at-best aunts, or child-free keep-your-annoying-kids-away-from-me aunts. It is what it is and we are who we are. There's a reason there are almost half a million children in foster care in the U.S. alone; motherhood is not all it's cracked up to be.

      INTRODUCTION

      Have you ever suspected that some mothers secretly hate being mothers, but they're too afraid, too ashamed, too embarrassed, or too image-conscious to ever tell anyone? Well, if you ever want to confirm that suspicion, all you have to do is Google secret confessions I hate being a mom, I hate being a mom, I regret having children, I hate being a parent, conspiracy of silence in motherhood, and parenting paradox to discover literally thousands of brutally honest confessions, comments, and stories from mothers who actually have the guts and the balls to admit that although they love their children with the intensity of a thousand suns, they secretly hate being mothers.

      Interestingly enough, the main reason these mothers secretly hate being mothers is the very same reason most of them became mothers in the first place: the Motherhood Myth. And what exactly is the Motherhood Myth, you ask? Well, if you ask 10 different women you'll get 10 different answers, so here's my answer: The Motherhood Myth is not really a single, stand-alone myth concerning motherhood; rather, the Motherhood Myth is more like a toxic hodgepodge of myths and pernicious beautiful lies concerning motherhood.
