Things that cause parental irritation include whining, sulking, tantrums, toilet training, lost shoes, gloves, or homework, uneaten lunches, the questions 'Why?' 'Are we there yet?' and almost any question that starts with 'Can I have...?'. Irritation cannot be banished; it can only be dealt with. Humor helps. So does yoga. Leaving the kids with Grandma, even for an hour or so, may help more.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

Guilt<\/h2>\n<p>We all feel guilt because none of us are perfect, and we all fail at some aspect of motherhood. This is because being an awesome parent requires an incredibly diverse skill set that no human being has naturally. Kids are always changing.

While we're forgetting to pack the kids' lunches or cobbling together a bread roll filled with last night's leftovers, they're putting together elaborate themed Bento boxes and cutting sandwiches into the shape of hearts, stars and angels.<\/p>\n<p>Every mother does some parts of motherhood better than others, but many of us only focus on the parts where we fall short.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Surprise<\/h2>\n<p>Your child will surprise you, constantly. Sometimes it's good: an A+ when you were expecting a C-, or a bouquet of wild flowers. Sometimes it's bad: earthworms in the kitchen sink or purple swirls on a formerly white wall. Sometimes it's just surprising. They express a view that's totally unexpected or (accurately) use a word you didn't think they knew. A lifetime of surprises is a free bonus that comes with every child.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Envy<\/h2>\n<p>It's a secret, but moms envy their child-free friends, their neighbors whose kids appear to be perfect, and their co-workers who seem to be doing it all and loving every minute.<\/p><div class=\"ad ad-container visible-xs-block\" style=\"height: 330px !important;\">\n    <div class=\"ad-label alt-text alt-pos-above\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-mob_prem7_mid-9\" class=\"DFPAdSlot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ad ad-container hidden-xs offset\" style=\"height: 680px !important;width: 300px !important;\">\n    <div class=\"ad-label\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-dt_btf_inarticle4-10\" class=\"DFPAdSlot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>We have to tell ourselves every day that sometimes the grass is greener on the other side because it's fake.

Confusion<\/h2>\n<p>It's not only your child that confuses you (how can anyone go from laughter to a full-blown tantrum that quick?) but also all the choices. Breast or bottle? Crib or co-sleeping? Back to work or stay at home mom? Daycare or nanny? Public school or private? Or homeschool? Which school? Which neighborhood? Which activities? Which college? Sometimes you just want to take a deep breath, flip a coin, and hope for the best.<\/p>\n\n<h2>12. Weariness<\/h2>\n<p>There are few things more exhausting than parenthood, and few moms who don't feel at least little weary by the end of the day.
