"The weight on a mother's shoulders"

Goodness, if that's how motherhood feels why would anyone bother.

Obviously no one else in the household does anything. All a bit martyred.

I see what you mean but I can’t say I like it. Is it called ‘The weight on a mother’s shoulders’?
It just looks a bit abusive to me if that that makes sense?
It’s expressive and certainly a strong statement but I’m a mum and I have to say a washing machine, hoover etc are not the weights on my shoulders!

I'll admit, most of it is on my shoulders because I'm a picky so and so and very particular about how my house is kept In a way, lucky DH.

Sometimes it does feel like I'm doing every job in the world... but I love it.

I lose domestic stuff though, truly. I'm obsessed with the smell of cleaning products and cleaning. It's a hobby.

A single mother must feel like this image though. Complete martyrs

I think it needs more adding to it actually but agree completely (for me anyway).

Ah for fucks sake that's ridic. Besides single parents, someone in a relationship shouldn't have the weight on just their shoulders. And if they do, they should consider being single.

Agree heartache, when my children were young, they're all well into adulthood now, the things that weighed me down and worried me were definitely not the machines that I owned or the amount of housework I had to do.

I'm not really sure what the picture is supposed to convey, those things are not what motherhood is about.

I still worry about my DCs from time to time when they have problems and I can assure you the things that weigh me down most definitely aren't the material things.

It's all a bit 'I've hoovered round for you' isn't it!
