Speaking exercise

from the day i am a mother my life was totally changed. during the 2 years since my son was born, all my daily routine is feeding him, putting him to sleep, and giving him bath, and every day i think about when can i hang out with my friends, when can i get up late, when can i go to a cinema, and finally he went back to my hometown with my parents, which makes me free and i can do everything i want to do. however, without him i dont have the mood to hang out with my friend, i wake up at 6 o’clock and i’d rather looking at photos of him than going to cinemas, what’s wrong with me?

People always say children can’t live without their mothers, but for me it’s more like mother’s can’t live without their children.
