today six years and 13 days exactly

Look for the third time the little screen and

scream if there were two red lines

very red and very marked

it was the third project to check it in

father after my pleas for

make sure that the truth that

I was pregnant

at that time messages friends

well-known companions and even the neighbor

of the fifth will not be that someone will

I lost the biggest event ever

told why that was not the most

important of our lives was to

to happen exactly nine months

and me with the hormones to the surface of the skin

is ready for motherhood

it will change my life so that the light of

motherhood and will illuminate and change my

Priorities

at that time the first days of

maternity and pregnant first were

passing on tiptoe over

cotton candy but suddenly the

leg pains extreme tiredness

memory leaks that have already been

stayed for life with me and the

nausea gave rise to the doubts of

maternity

why a night of insomnia like another

anyone when you already know as a speaker

you feel like a whale stranded in the middle

of the ocean with a fiat and that you

runs through the body I got up determined and

type in google

be a mother at that time a lot of

images started to show me that

it was what was about to happen

images like these where you

shows that it’s worth a connection so

important in your life with your baby that

everything else does not import images

How is it going

who has not thought that when I have a

baby in arms to be able to work

perfectly with your laptop and a

smile to the phone images like

this because obviously everyone

tells you how beautiful and attractive

you’re pregnant, even if you do not know

well because they tell you emotion like

said the light of motherhood that

will illuminate and then you will only have

Emotion in emotion between you and you

baby wisdom

I always say that I was better mothers

before being a mother I thought everything was going

to come by infused science to learn to

cook address aa all those things that

know how to make mothers and of course

I would have a raspberry afternoon ready

to tell my husband my daughters that

you are and nobody would remember

how am I family because it is

clear the childhood made a lot of damage

these series also do not

my mother always reminds me that I

small I wanted to have seven and I would

I say I have five energy left

you see these images of these women

superwoman who come to everything they have

energy to have four companies one

Race 20 children and Cesc

Well, if they can, I can also charisma

they also told me these images that

I was going to have charisma like betty and

supposed recovery

I already knew that when I left

of the hospital would come out with the tablet

elsa pataky chocolate and to finish

well that in that moment in google only

pictures of lovely children appear

with wreaths of flowers that sleep and

They eat at all times today because this

It’s done

That excited and quiet night I left

to bed to sleep while the good

father snored like nothing of that

out with him and if the day came

seconds before having her in arm

he said to the terrified father

I think I’m not going to cry what kind of

mother does not cry when they put her in her arms

to his daughter

what kind of madrid does not cry when

they put the light of their life in their arms and if

I cried but that sentence of what kind of

mother you are accompanied forever and the

Good daughter, I’ll tell you, she did not come alone

I do not wish in and with a bread under the

arm

looked with a backpack loaded with guilt

that nobody tells you of infinite doubts and

of uncontrollable fears but also

I will tell you one thing but with strength and

energy that would come to overturn

my life and existence and I promise you and

here that I fight to try it fight for

be that perfect mother of smile

perpetual infinite patience and love

unconditional that had to be

I struggled to be that tireless superwoman

that does not complain that it is covered with brushstrokes

the dark circles and that grows and surpass

obstacles without disheveled

but one afternoon like any other

leave the agency skidding and this

late my superman cape or street bolus

knocked down on the asphalt and I realized

that I had lost control of my life

that the conciliation

it was that Chinese tale that we believed and

that the motherhood of the big lie

of society that can not fight

countercurrent eating less sleeping

me

if I see less because in the end you fall

and the fall can be very hard

I remember perfectly that day that

late I arrived very late to pick up the

good daughter when she was put in her arms

I cried like I never cried before

because right at that moment I realized

that I had lost my identity

that I did not know who I was was not that

perfect mother that everyone expected that

outside and what was worse was not the mother

that I hoped to be then now that

he was done with all his thoughts

impure of bad mother because in the

darkness of the night after an avatar I

I declared bad mothers in an account

twitter to call mothers steal

that tweet was the beginning of everything was the

start of a social movement and it was

and I put it was not in

November 2014 what is your merit

bad mother because they would channel you as

bad mother

because of course and saying I feel malamadre

there will be more like I do not think it’s the

only one of my kind that is here and

from there to social movements in

twitter with nocturnal treachery was the

start of the entire start of a change

personal and a social change all in

the regidor made boom followers empathy

identification plus followers more

empathy identification tweets and

retweets likes ideas marks talks

events and an emotional community that

scream we are bad mothers who are

becomes a generation speaker

of a generation of mothers like them

that do not renounce to see their

children but neither to his career

Professional mothers who do not want to lose

your identity with women mothers who have

a common goal to change a model

obsolete social maternity in a

patriarchal society like ours

that goal is possible today is

possible a media society of

communication and advertising do not launch

those idealized images of the

maternity a society is possible where

premium the labor presentism the culture

of heating the seat and the lack of

responsibility for the care of children

is that possible in a society that

the mother pushes the resignation and abandons

the labor market is that possible a

society where everyone has forgotten that a

were children and the hope of

future a society is possible where

hotels and children proliferate

restaurants the child trains them

planes and children and cities without

children

for I will say yes it is

possible it has to be possible if

we started looking at mothers more

beyond the md mother yes if we accelerate

the implication of man we do

team with him yes yes really all

the mothers all the women we join

for that change of social model

if we unite beyond a war

making a coalition beyond

a war between good and bad mothers /

AIDS from the breast gives the bottle if college

sounded college so the little pots hours

ecological food that does not matter

and while we create and build that

unbreakable union and today here I

I promise to keep looking how

buy the time to sleep a

night the pull time to pluck me

both legs the same day time

to continue with this fight and time

especially to remind me that recently

a day not too far away was not a mother

problems were going with me and I was going to

be a perfect mother of course like

all of you and if tomorrow

my daughters my two good daughters want

be mothers

I will be here by your side to tell you

Welcome to wrong welcome to

do not get to everything because it is not a mother

perfect you’re a bad mother and nothing happens

and so that they remember it always and

you

I also dedicate this video to you
