Keeping Motherhood Real

Tracey versus Tracey

Posted by Tracey On November - 16 - 2009

Split-Personality-TraceyCameron slept at Granny’s place on Friday night to give Dean and I had a night off yet I got less sleep than when Cameron is around *wink wink*. But I wonder what the point was. Should I have sacrificed a night with my husband to rest my body? Who comes first, Tracey-self, Tracey-mom or Tracey-wife? Then yesterday afternoon and last night I was at a friend’s bachelorette party: I got into bed at 3am and I the mom cried in harmony with Cameron in the next room upon waking this morning. So Dean got up, closed the door and took Cameron to the lounge. I put in my ear plugs, threw a pillow over my head for some extra deafness and slept for three more hours. And again, I cannot help but wonder what the point was? Pretending I am not a mom for a few hours and having an absolute blast at a club that I didn’t even go to before I was pregnant? Being obligated to go because I am a bridesmaid? Or should I have stayed at home, rather than having some good ol’ fun with the gals, in order to sleep? Who claims priority; Tracey-self, Tracey-mom or Tracey-friend? Wow, how my life has changed!

BrazenMom is a site dedicated to moms with attitude: moms who love their babies but wish to remain independent and assertive without succumbing to the momness of pastel colours, poofy carry bags, perfume ala baby powder and tracksuit pants. The site aims to keep motherhood real by providing information relevant to moms in an opinionated, satirical, entertaining and completely biased manner. Expect to laugh, cry, anger, and most importantly, VENT, without judgment. The site includes feature stories; product and clothing news, views and information; book reviews; and personal accounts relating to being a mom. It is a forum for discussion, comment and argument, and is a way to learn from the experiences of other moms who wish to share. Comments are encouraged, swearing is appreciated and guest authors are most welcome. Let's be bold. Let's be shameless. Let's be BRAZEN.
