The Real Mama Sassa

My story of the real life of parenthood

Before you have children, you look at parents and think all sorts of crazy judgmental shit. It’s almost like you don’t believe them when they say things like “parenthood is where sleep goes to die,” or “Ha, you think your kid will be on a schedule.” I’m going to be honest, when I first got pregnant with my daughter, I thought that I would never be one of those parents. I was determined, no obsessed, with not falling into the “parenthood” traps. 

I read all the books.

I took all the online courses I could find. 

I took notes. 

I tracked data. 

And yet, here I am, with two children under the age of two, and most days, I just want to shoot myself in the damn foot from sleep deprivation and feeling my life could come unhinged at any moment. And I thought, “I bet there are other moms like me out there.” You know, the kind of moms who thought they could do it “better” or that parenthood would be just another thing they would conquer, as they do in their professional lives. You’re my people. I see you. I hear you. And I’m here to tell you all the crazy shit that makes you wrong. 

This blog is dedicated to my two crazy-ass, adorable, incredibly kind, and sweet children. I love you with all my heart, and I hope one day, when you have children (if you want to), you read this and chuckle.
