I have heard, many times, about these studies that make claims about the benefits of motherhood on the brain. Mothers are better at multitasking, are more adventurous, have better memories.
Untruths, all of them.
My forgetfulness, this week alone:
Why Dan needs to be at work today (I had to ask at least four times).
A birthday present for my mom (in prior years, I was the one doing the reminding).
It is in fact the beginning of July this week. Not June. I'm a month off, now.
Multiple items for the grocery list, and the necessary coupons, despite putting the list in my phone.
Most of my daily chores. Oh yeah. Dishes.
Diaper changes - I've forgotten a few, only to be reminded by loud complaining and/or a diaper blow-out.
And so many other little things I never would have forgotten pre-baby.
I'm beginning to lose my faith in the infallibility of the scientific study.
