As A Parent Nothing Is Free — Not Even Taking A Shower
I never even knew what the word autonomy meant until I had my little one — and then didn’t have autonomy anymore.

Before I became a mom I just did the things I wanted to do.
I used to be a strong, independent woman.
Now, whenever I want to do something…my toddler is in the way.
Whether it’s eating, sleeping, peeing, showering, or breathing…
Okay, I want to create some DRAMA here but please hear me out.
Often I heard moms talk about:
It’s soooo dang hard to take a shower.
I was like…
What?! Why?!
Well, I didn’t have a clue and apparently, I was a bit dumb, too.
It really is hard to take a shower once you’re a mom.
If you happen to have a baby boy who doesn’t want to be put down or a toddler hammering against your bathroom door then…
you can take a shower but it definitely comes with a catch.
