Hmm, Symphony.
I think the real you can and will come out. And it's true that raising children takes a lot of focus and energy. Somehow, I think it can all work together for you.

who says that all these parts are not you? i think everyone is multifaceted and its great that you have such diversity in your life - even if some of it is boring and mundane (that's what keeps us grounded) - but you can change your life if you want to. Enjoy what you've got, make the most of what you have and most of all, let more and more of the hidden you escape into the life of the "normal" you. By the way, no one is normal - we're all unique!

You go girl!
You deserve some hapiness as a woman. I'm sure that you take wonderful care of your children, but you also have to take care of yourself and your needs.

There is nothing wrong with wanting more
There are many sides to me also. What I exhibit on Blogit is only a fraction of the real me. People in real life think I am a comedian, and I make a living cleaning for others. I am 40, but act 20. I am a Mother, wife, daughter, sister, and most importantly, I am a woman with hopes and dreams. You can be all of them, its just about balancing it all out.

Mummies and their alter egos
Symph,
It's very true that one of the challenges of being a mummy is having to be two people. The mummy has to be bright and cheery at 6am, wiping dirty bums and spit up, having just gotten to bed a few hours ago and likely still feeling the effects of one too many pints. (I've been there, done that LOTS OF TIMES 
). Mummy can't tell the teacher to feck off even if the teacher needs telling because the child will bear the brunt of the teacher's wrath later.
Party girl can't quite let her hair down completely because she knows there are little people at home depending on her to come back and be cheerful at 6am. But Party Girl needs to be with people over 3 feet tall who can make conversation and don't throw themselves on the floor kicking and screaming when they're told no. (well except for that guy from karoke? he strikes me as a throw on the floor type)
What needs to happen I think Symph is you need a teeny bit more balance in your Mom/Party Girl duality.
Are there things you can get out to do during the week, maybe when your daughter is at school ? Are there neighbours you can trust that want to swap babysitting for two hours a week, you take their kids once a week and they take yours so you can get out a bit more on your own without the cost of a sitter?
Try not to let the balance tip one way too much, PartyMummy Girl is great combo !

Symph...
I think others would love to see all of your sides. If they don't then you certainly don't want to be around them. Acceptance is a two way street after all. Maxine sounds as fun as Symph the wood nymph!

Kelli ...
I don't think you understood my post....I am "me" I am always me.......but what I was saying is...that when I do my normal routine each day with the children..I am not myself.....my true self comes out when entertaining and writing....as that is who I am meant to be
its not that I dont want to be a mother...but my other life away from the children is what I am craving for more...and it makes me feel guilty as I love my children more than words could say ........I just feel a little trapped...and wanting more...
and in order to be myself..I have to be happy.....
I am not a false..so I cant hurt people...

I meant nothing bad. I meant only to say, DO WHAT YOU ARE HAPPY DOING. But don't let the false part hurt others. Be careful.

Yup, I know what ya mean...
I don't think it means that you aren't happy being a mother, I just think it means you have different parts of your personality that are allowed to come alive based on the situation. You love being a mother, but if you tried to mother with the personality you have while doing karoke you wouldn't be as good at it. If you tried to mother with the part of you that comes out when you write, you wouldn't be as good at it. So, you have to be mother more than the others. It's just the balance since the kids require so much of you.
Just enjoy the moments with the non mommy sides of your personality are allowed to show. And, enjoy being a mommy while your kids want that part of you!! :)

I understand. The truth is brutal sometimes. I am me. I tell the truth and it almost kills me. Stay with what you're doing, it seems it pays to not face the truth. Too late for me. Save yourself.
