Sometimes it feels like mothering is about doing chores. Since Dougie Junior calls me "Mom the bom", I've come up with some terms that help me understand my role better. Being "The BOM" means 3 things:
1. The B.O.M. (not bureau of land management), stands for Breathless Of Women. She is the mom who runs around like a chicken wither her head cut off because she spreads herself too thin and focuses more on getting things done than on being in the moment. The B.O.M. thinks of herself as a human-doing rather than a human being.
2. The bomb is closely related to the B.O.M. and she is constantly ticking. She may explode at any time. She identifies herself as a victim of her circumstances and becomes a perpetrator by exploding. She explodes as a result of forgetting her role as a nurturer including the importance of nurturing herself.
3. The balm is a calming, nurturing influencein her home. She has lots of control because she is a comforter first and a corrector second. She has a full bucket and she is able to share freely!!!
