Some people once they become parents let their lives revolve around their children. I'm not one of those people. I want my own life too. I don't mean I want to go out partying all the time but I do want to be able to get away. I want to have things that I call my own and that I don't have to share with my kids. I want time that I can have to myself.
I don't want the first thing that pops into someone's head about me is she's a mom. Id like someone to think, she's beautiful, she's smart, she's funny, she's honest. I want to be more than just someone's mom. I want to be me, Sarah (Lee). I want to exist without my kids. Not that I don't want my kids but I want to exist even when I'm not around them and catering to them. I want to be loved for being myself not for how I take care of my children.
I'm sure there are other moms out their who feel the same, right? Who don't want the term mom to define themselves. I don't want to be passed over because I am a parent. I should be accepted for other reasons than just motherhood. Am I alone in thinking this?
