Today, after a busy afternoon taking care of the kids, I was feeling really down about only being a mom these days, and I was hoping my husband would make me feel better when he got off work. In the middle of cuddling, he called me "mom." FML

Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML

Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you OK? You seemed depressed earlier." FML

Today, I asked my husband to come upstairs to our bedroom, thinking I could get some "special time." It ended up with us arguing about his mother, and him falling asleep cuddling my pillow while sucking his thumb. FML

Today, my ex-husband came to pick up our two kids for his weekend with them. Seeing his new girlfriend was in the car, and desperate for conversation, I asked her name. My kids unhesitatingly blurted out, "Mom". FML

Today, I noticed my husband was acting moody, and I asked him what was wrong. He replied that he didn't know, so trying to lighten the mood, I facetiously said, "It's 'cause you're stuck with me, isn't it?" He nodded, trundled off, and hasn't shown his face since. FML

You got kids and a husband who likes to cuddle and has a job. Some people will go looking for reasons to be depressed.

My parents sometimes call eachother Mom and Dad. I don't know if this is normal for anyone else, but it is for me.

OP don't be so down! There's no FML in this story if you consider that your husband is expressing love for and trust in you.

Not at all. I just think this isn't an FML I mean she's depressed so what. I've rolled my ankle for the 3rd time in a week, however I wouldn't even consider that an FML just life

Having kids doesn't mean your old... Have you ever watched 16 and pregnant?

She never mentioned feeling old. She is tired of just being, "mom".

A hobby like painting or finding a gym that teaches dance can help you feel better. Sounds like you need "you" time.

Only being a mom? You've got a child (or children) that love you, a husband who cares, and you're feeling down about it? Some people don't have families. You're also a wife, and a friend to lots of people! (:

She's not necessarily feeling down about being a mom. It's more the fact that being a mom is ALL she is. Everyone needs a little me time. I meant have you ever spent hours taking care of kids? I'm not saying kids are bad or anything, I actually love being around them. But after hours of taking care of them, you need time to be someone other than mom or the babysitter or whatever position you're in while taking care of the kids. I babysat my 3 of my cousins all under the age of 7 for 8 hours yesterday, and by the end I was ready to go and be anywhere else but with them. I don't think she loves them any less, she just needs an opportunity to Not be mom for a few minutes.

28- so, in other words, she needs a girls night out! Or a date night with the husband. Maybe OP could get a babysitter for a night and go out to have some fun!
