Kendra Struggles With Being A Mom
One of the things that I love about reality television, is that there really isn’t much sugar coating! While I’m sure that some of it is cut, edited & improvised to help the drama unfold, there’s still a piece of truth that you can’t deny.
So Kendra used to be a Play Boy “Bunny” and has now switched to the other team and decided to tackle being a wife and mother. Well, while some of the beginning footage has portrayed her as “having it all” and life “couldn’t be more perfect”, this season looks like it’s going to be pretty entertaining and good, lol.
So while I doubt too many mom’s can relate to someone who is going from the Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner into suburbia a heaven, as new mothers I know most of us has suffered from at least a mild case of identity crisis. Some of us may have smoked, drank and said a few curse words before deciding to hand our lives over to motherhood. Although, it’s funny how men aren’t usually expected to change one thing about their image as a father (I mean they are lighting up the cigars at birth, right?), yet it’s not only the woman’s body that is permanently altered.
So you can imagine what kind of train wreck motherhood would be for someone who has sold themselves off of being “fun”, “exciting” and “sexual”. I can imagine that the hormones combined with the confusion of what?, why? and who says? would be too much for any average individual to comprehend. So it seems to all be unfolding before your very eyes, right on camera. While I feel for the girl that is being the puppet on this one, I think it is definitely an eye opener for all young women who are contemplating motherhood and something that they should definitely witness. While Kendra’s transition is obviously going from one extreme to another, we’ve all had to make major life changes for motherhood.
While motherhood is just a role and not who you truly are, it does require us to bend ourselves into the shape and mold that conforms to society’s standards of what a mother should be. How do we trade out one identity for another? How do we try to find balance in order to have both? Is it possible to have both and where can or should we draw the line? Do we conform to society and deny a certain truth and part of ourselves or will society change as we do along with our standards and expectations? Are expectations unrealistic for most in the first place?
I don’t know, it just stirs up a lot of questions for me concerning motherhood and it’s role in the lives of women. Hopefully seeing others stories and experiences will make us stop and question these things and either realize that motherhood isn’t for everyone or that the idea of what a mother is, or should be is not realistic.
