How honest are people, really?
How honest are people, really? Think about it. What do you hide from others? What are you afraid you of, that others don't know about? How honest are you really? Thank you to Ben for pointing out that maybe I am using the wrong word here. Maybe it's not honesty, maybe it's how much of the truth are you willing to share? When asked how you are - do you answer politely, Great! or do you tell them how you really are? If you are sitting with a group of mothers and you mention that you really don't find it rewarding (at least maybe not as much as you feel you ought to) and no one speaks up, is it because you are the only one, or because no one else wants to admit it? Why wouldn't you want to admit it? What is your reason, really?

Maybe most people really do feel that being a mother is rewarding- and yet have moments where they aren't so sure about it. For example, when your child rubs butter into a brand new jute rug that can't be washed and also smears it all over the furniture. You might not be loving motherhood at that moment. But that doesn't mean that in the long run you feel it isn't worth it. For me, the good, cute things they do far outweigh any of the trying times. It may be a struggle, but that doesn't mean I don't feel its rewarding.
I hate to point this out, but doesn't it seem kind of ironic that the post about being honest is then commented on by an Anonymous source?
