Whenever LKH complains about the Trials and Tribulations of Motherhood, I think, Bitch, please.
1. She has one child. ONE.
2. This one child is in school for at least six hours a day, five days a week, eight months a year.
3. Going by traditional custody arrangements, that one child probably spends every other weekend with her father.
4. Since remarrying, LKH also has a partner to assist in parenting full-time. She is not a single mother anymore, and has not been for several years.
Granted, that is not to say that parenting even under the best circumstances is not difficult and demanding, but LKH has quite possibly one of the more ideal arrangements parenting-wise, so her constant harping on having to actually spend time with her daughter (diety forbid!) wears rapidly thin.
I badly want to believe that she is a good mother, she is, despite the vibes I get from her blog, for Trinity's sake. No one deserves to have an inattentive, resentful parent. I hope she's a great mom who loves her kid to death, and I hope that Jon's a terrific stepdad. I hope Trinity is happy and feels loved, despite being saddled with the name "Trinity" ('cause, seriously). But when LKH says stuff like this, I cringe a little inside.
