The photo that shows that motherhood is not always "beautiful": breastfeeding in the toilet

If yesterday we brought you a few comic illustrations about things that can happen to you as a mother that surely you never expected to happen to you, today we bring you a real picture of something that, surely, you did not expect to do as a mother (and perhaps you have done) .

He published it Elisha beach, wife of actor Michael Beach ("ER", "Grey's Anatomy", "Criminal Minds") and soon went viral make clear with this photo that motherhood is not always "precious", to put it in some way (and in the same way she defined it).

It happened in his sink, any day, when he sat on the toilet and his daughter decided to accompany him. How to get me to leave you a quiet time? Well, you know, you open the closet door where there are so many cool things of so many different colors and that is taking. Ah, that you have not opened the cabinet? Does she serve herself? I already understand you. Sometimes it is not necessary to provoke them because they are clear where things are.

Now, what happens when you have been there for a while and get bored of putting in and taking out things? Well, that comes a little thirsty, a little hungry or you have just seen a little cleavage and there they go. The girl he is eleven months old and we don't know if he's already walking, but just crawl a little, lean on mom's legs, stand up and put his hand to say, clearly "I want teti".

And a mother in that funny situation, what can she do? Refuse or get carried away at the moment, as Elisa did. He took off his chest, the girl took him, and in that moment of "how do I have to look" he decided tell her husband to capture the scene in a photo He could always have kept it to remember it in privacy, but hey, motherhood is not only posing with forced smiles with your children, but also showing the hidden face (and not for that reason) of caring for a baby, that you just wanted to go to do your needs and you end up doing them, breastfeeding your baby and then collecting for the umpteenth time the sink cabinet.

Or have you never seen yourself in a similar situation? I am a father and I do not breastfeed, but I do have babies who have slept in my arms and on more than one occasion I have had to go to the bathroom with them. What could have left them alone? Sure, but when mom is exhausted because she has woken up 2, 3 or 57 times at night and in the end she says "stay for a while to see if I sleep a little" the last thing you want is to make the slightest groan. You go with him to the sink (there are those who have the ability to put up with the desire ... I don't), you lower your pants, sit down, everything with the child in your arms, and only pray for not waking him. You just, you pull the chain, or not, that makes noise (another unfortunate confession of my paternal facet) and you put on your pants as you can (a show, come on). And this episode is just one of many that I have lived with my 3 children in my last 9 years of life, since the first was born.

So no, motherhood (or fatherhood) is not as pretty as many thought, but It's so funny, so anecdotal and fun that it seems even better to me than I imagined it.

So don't cut yourself, if you have similar anecdotes, go ahead, confess.

By the way, this mother has dropped some criticism for publishing this photo. I have not read or commented. I think it's a great photo, of those that I would keep my whole life If it was her.
