People who are about to become parents receive no shortage of warnings for what is to come. Seasoned parents love telling expecting couples things like "Enjoy your freedom while you can!" or any variation of comments on how little sleep they'll get, how much money they'll spend on diapers, and how the life they know now is pretty much over. In spite of all these warnings, it is difficult for mothers in particular to understand the full scope of duties she is taking on by having a child. I have written before about how parenting standards are at an all-time high, which means we have extra pressure and responsibilities that our own parents did not have. In honour of Mother's Day, I'd like to reflect on the many hats a mother wears; the jobs that no one warned us about.
