Are mothers task delayers if they choose to prioritize motherhood?
<h2>What does motherhood really mean?</h2>
<p>I read <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/style/wp/2019/05/09/feature/the-protector-the-multitasker-the-holder-of-rocks-10-moms-define-motherhood/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">an article in The Washington Post </a>about how 10 mothers define motherhood. I had to laugh out loud while being continuously interrupted by my own kids, which is a proven fact across all definitions. I only chose a few of the definitions and wrote down my ideas below each one.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Motherhood is perpetual failure at multi-tasking.</p>
<p>It’s the ultimate roller coaster of joy and sorrow, comfort and fear, love and hate, fast and slow, past and future. <strong><em>— </em></strong><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/style/wp/2019/05/09/feature/the-protector-the-multitasker-the-holder-of-rocks-10-moms-define-motherhood/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong><em>Libby Chisholm Fearnley</em></strong></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Motherhood is indeed a marvelous and scary rollercoaster ride through all the feelings and the daily avalanche of small and bigger actions our kids need us for.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I don’t want her to remember fights over shoes, or empty threats I made in frustration, or the disappointments of being young. I want her to remember the feeling of pressing her back against my chest, or climbing into my lap, and, for a little bit, being totally protected. <em>— </em><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/style/wp/2019/05/09/feature/the-protector-the-multitasker-the-holder-of-rocks-10-moms-define-motherhood/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong><em>Terri Rupar</em></strong></a></p>

<p><strong>I try to remind myself every single day:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>What do I want my kids to remember me for?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The times I scream out of frustration? The times I cry because I could not sleep enough the night before? No.</p>
