Being A Mom And Not A Dad

Sometimes, when I am the one who gets puked on and I am the one who has to go to 6 doctors appointments in 2 weeks and I am the one who has to go to the school 3-4 times a day, I have to remind myself that Mom's get extra perks too. They believe my stories and look to me for confirmation of Daddy's stories. They make sure I don't have to do any chores on my birthday. They grab stories to read when going to bed, and can't go to sleep with Daddy telling the stories, Mommy has to read the last one. They come to me when upset or hurt. They know that only Magic Mommy kisses can make the pain go away. I can get puked on once in a while.
