"I should be more. I should be less. I should go. I should do..." Oh to silence expectations long enough to even enjoy the experience The should's are based on the opinions of others, implying what is not and dictating our lives perhaps more than we want to realize. They weigh us from within, often for as long as we can remember. Then, we become mothers, the should be's swarm more than ever, but are gifted a shiny new name....mom guilt.
