  • When Mom needs to hear that it's O.K. not to be O.K.
  • 当妈妈需要听到‘不好也没关系’
  • By Lori Fradkin
  • 文/洛里·弗拉金
  • I had made it as far as the street corner when it occurred to me that I hadn't paid.
  • 一直走到街角我才想起来,我忘了结账。
  • I'd said goodbye to my friends at the restaurant and walked out.
  • 我跟朋友道过别,便直接走出了餐厅。
  • When I returned, embarrassed and apologetic, one friend mentioned that another had asked if I was O.K.
  • 就在我带着尴尬和歉意回到餐厅后,一位朋友提到,另一位朋友刚刚问到我了,问我是否还好。
  • "Of course she's not O.K.," she had answered. "She has a 4-month-old."
  • “当然不好了,”她回答说。“她孩子才4个月大。”
  • That 4-month-old was the reason I had to get home.
  • 那个4个月大的孩子就是我必须赶回家的原因。
  • I needed to pump–for the fourth or fifth time that day– and then I needed to go to bed as soon as I could, for however long I could,
  • 我要赶回家挤奶——挤那天的第四次,还是第五次奶——挤完奶还要尽快上床补觉,能补一点儿是一点儿,
  • before attempting to look like a pulled-together professional for work the next morning.
  • 第二天早上还要尽量装得像个精神饱满的专业人士去上班。
  • My husband and I had joked about how easy that week would be.
  • 之前我和丈夫两人还开玩笑说,那一周该有多轻松。
  • Our older son was away with his grandparents, which meant we had just one kid to take care of.
  • 我们的大儿子去他爷爷奶奶家了,也就是说,那周我们只有一个孩子要照顾。
  • Naturally, that was the week the baby had a sleep regression.
  • 好巧不巧,那周小宝宝进入了睡眠倒退期。
  • Every night, I sat in the glider for hours at a time trying to nurse him back to sleep,
  • 为了哄他继续睡觉,每天夜里我都要在吊椅里一坐就是好几个小时,
  • only to set his swaddled little body in the crib and have him start crying again.
  • 结果,每次都是刚一把他那裹着被包的小身体放进婴儿床,他就又开始哭了。
  • I had been back at work for just over a month, trying to prove myself to a new boss.
  • 由于我产后复工刚一个月出头,我正在很努力地向新老板证明我的价值。
  • I was pumping before going to the office,
  • 去上班之前要挤奶,
  • interrupting my day multiple times to hook myself up to tubes and suctions, and then doing it again at night.
  • 白天也要好几次停下手中的工作给自己连上导管和吸奶器,晚上还要重复同样的操作。
  • I was also trying to be an attentive mom to a toddler who loved his baby brother but had ordered me at least once to put him "back in your tummy."
  • 我也有试着做一名细心的母亲,照顾爱小弟弟,却也不止一次地命令我把小弟弟“塞回你肚子里”的正在学走路的哥哥的需求。
  • Of cours, she is not o.k.
  • 她当然不好了。
  • I knew I was exhausted, sometimes overwhelmed.
  • 我很清楚我已经累得不行了,有时甚至都有些不知所措了。
  • Yet my friend's comment was revelatory.
  • 然而,朋友的评论点醒了我。
