I love my daughter. I don't always love being a mother.
我爱我的女儿。我并不总是喜欢做一个母亲。
I'm exhausted most days. The bulk of the games my 2-year-old demands I play are so boring that I could cry. She's diminutive, but still puts me in a firm headlock when I try to leave her room each night. Getting her into the bath is practically a hostage negotiation. And that look she gives me when she dumps her dinner on the floor — what is that? I swear it's voodoo.
我大部分时间都很累。我2岁的孩子要求我玩的游戏实在是太无聊以至于我都快哭了。小小的她，每当我试图每晚离开她房间时，都会把我牢牢地锁在怀里。把她送进浴室实际上是人质谈判。当她把晚餐倒在地板上时，她给了我的表情——那是什么？我发誓那是一张巫毒脸。
Loving Atika is visceral, chemical, exquisite. But raising her can be tedious and depleting. If we suggest being a mother means we must be joyful all, or even most, of the time, we do all mothers a disservice. Motherhood is remarkably difficult. Acknowledging that and taking care of our mental health is as important as taking care of our babies.
爱孩子（迪卡）是本能的，难以抑制的，强烈的。但是抚养她真的很乏味，感觉快被掏空一般。如果说做一个母亲，意味着我们必须在所有的时候，甚至在大多数时候都是快乐的，那么这对于所有母亲来说，无意会造成伤害。当妈妈真的很难。承认和顾及我们的心理健康和照看我们的孩子一样重要。
